K.INDICATIONS OF A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY

A hydrometer reading of the specific gravity of the electrolyte (fluid) of the battery in good condition should be between 1.25 and 1.28. When a battery reaches 80-85% of full charge, bubbles will appear on the surface of the fluid. As the battery nears full charge, bubbling will become more vigorous.

The digital display Meter will display FULL when the battery is completely charged.

M.TROUBLESHOOTING

1.No meter reading

A.Make sure that the charger is plugged into the AC outlet.

B.Make sure that the AC outlet is "LIVE." Check by plugging in a lamp.

2.Meter displays CHK BAT

A.Have a serviceman, at your neighborhood garage, check that the battery is capable of taking a charge, it may be damaged or sulfated.

B.Make sure you have selected the proper charge voltage for the battery being charged.

C.After unplugging charger, check the connections at the battery. Make sure the clips are making good contact.

D.If the battery voltage is below 1.5 volts and you were charging in automatic, the display will read CHK BAT. Try to bring the battery voltage up above the needed 1.5 volts by selecting the MANUAL mode and the 2 amp setting. This should bring the battery voltage to the needed voltage in a few minutes.

3.Vehicle will not start in ENGINE START

A.Unplug the charger and check the connections at the battery.

B.You must wait until the meter read "RDY." The charger may still be in the "WAIT" mode.

C.The thermal protector may have tripped and needs a little longer to close. Wait a little longer and retry.

D.If the engine turns over, but doesn't start, the problem is with the vehicle, not the charger. Have the vehicle problem resolved before you try to crank the engine again.
