1.Disconnect the vehicle’s wiring harness to remove the battery and then place battery upright. Examine the battery for excessive wear, cracks, bulging or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery and replace immediately. If the battery is hot, allow it to cool before charging.
2.Select the proper charging connector for the battery – See “BATTERY TYPES AND CONNECTORS” in Section F.
3.With the charger disconnected from the wall outlet, connect the charger connector to the battery. Make sure the connector is fully inserted into the battery or battery wire harness.
4.Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. If the battery is connected correctly, the red LED will light solid and the unit will begin charging the battery. If the red LED is flashing, check the connection (See TROUBLESHOOTING).
5.QUICK CHARGE - When the green LED begins to flash, the battery is “Ready to use”. Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and then disconnect the battery charger from the battery.
NOTE: The red LED will remain lit while the green LED is flashing. For better results, leave the charger connected until vehicle is ready to be used.
6.COMPLETE CHARGE – When the green LED turns solid and the red LED turns off, the battery is completely charged and is being maintained by the Charge ‘n Ride™. When ready to use, disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and then disconnect the battery charger from the battery.
NOTE: For longer battery life, the battery must be completely charged after two consecutive quick charges.
NOTE: A pulsing noise is normal while the battery charger is charging the battery. A buzz or hum is normal anytime the AC power cord is connected to an electrical source (i.e. wall outlet).

LED Indicators: The battery charger has two LED lights. They indicate different functions.
FLASHING RED LED – A SLOW flashing red LED indicates the battery is NOT correctly connected and the connections need to be checked. The charger must detect a minimum of 1V in order to turn the charger on. A RAPIDLY flashing red LED will indicate the charger has detected a fault condition within the battery and has aborted the charge. Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and from the battery. The battery should be replaced and recycled.
SOLID RED LED – A steady glow indicates the charger is
CHARGING.
FLASHING GREEN LED – A flashing green LED indicates the battery is nearing a complete charge. The battery is “Ready to use”.
SOLID GREEN LED – A steady glow indicates that the battery is COMPLETELY CHARGED and is being maintained.
