G.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLO- SION. 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.

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.

J.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE

This charger is for use with 12 volt lead-acid batteries. The SE-70MA is for 12 and 24 volt systems.

K.INDICATION OF PROPER OPERATION TO A DISCHARGED BATTERY BUT OTHERWIDE IN GOOD CONDITION

10 Amp 12 Volt setting: The initial charge current should be 10 amps gradually tapering throughout the charge cycle to 5 amps. Though not indicated, battery voltage will gradually rise to approximately 14.3 volts, then hold constant throughout remainder of charge cycle. When the battery reaches 14.3 volts and charge current drops to 5 amps the charger will turn off. Initially the battery voltage will drop from its 14.3 volt level fairly quickly. When 13 volts is reached, the charger will again turn on, until the 14.3 volt, 5 amp condition is met. As this action continues, on time will decrease to a few seconds while off time increases to a range of several minutes to an hour. on/off times vary with size, type and condition of battery.
