Schumacher SF-125A Follow These Steps When Battery is Outside Vehicle, Operation Instructions

I.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EX- PLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK Of A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:

1.Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P,+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

2.Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post ( not provided).

3.Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to POSITIVE (POS, P,+) post of battery.

4.Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to free end of cable.

5.Do not face battery when making final connection.

6.When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.

7.A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge a battery on the boat requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

J. AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.

This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt 60 HZ circuit.

K. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.These battery chargers are equipped with a self-resetting circuit breaker. This device protects the charger from temporary overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker will trip open, and after a short cooling off period will reset automatically. this process is known as cycling and can be recognized by an audible clicking sound.

2.These battery chargers are equipped with an electronic control circuit which automatically governs the charge rate to your battery. The charger will satisfactorily charge Maintenance Free and Conventional batteries.

L. OUTPUT VOLTAGE

These chargers are for use with 12 volt lead-acid batteries only except for the SF-125A.

M. CHARGE RATE SWITCH

For smaller batteries, 30 AH (ampere hour) or less, use 2 AMP setting. Small batteries may not be able to accept the potential of the 10 AMP setting. Unconverted energy will result in excess heat which the battery may not be able to dissipate, thus resulting in damage to the battery.

For larger batteries either setting may be used.
