20.LENGTH OF CHARGE

a.Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.

b.Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts

c.Charge for length of time per charge,

d.Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be used fo gas excessively or when the temperature of the electrolyte reaches approximately 120EF. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in

ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Remove the screws from the back of charger and attach the handle in an upright position with screws provided.

2.Remove the four screws on the bottom toward the front of the charger and attach the leg with the screws provided.

timer past 20 before setting the desired time.

TO CHARGE BATTERIES

Make the connections to the battery per the instructions in the previous sections.

Determine if the battery is 6 or 12 volts. Set the CHARGE VOLTAGE switch to 6/12 LOW CHARGE for a 6 or 12 volt battery. If higher rate is desired, set at 1 MED. or 12 HIGH. DO NOT charge a 6 volt battery at setting other than 6/12 low.(Damage may occur to the battery.)Turnthetimeronand the Ammeter will show the amount of current delivered to the battery. Length of charge should be per the above chart and instructions.

12 VOLT CRANK ASSIST STARTING Turn off all lights and accessories in the stalled vehicle. Connect the charger to battery per previous instructions. Charge the battery on 12 HI for at least five minutes before attempting to start the vehicle. Put the switch in the 12 CRANK ASSIST position. Start the vehicle with the charger connected to the battery. Follow the duty cycle on the unit.

NOTE: Do not crank the engine more than 20 seconds in any five minute period; excessive cranking may overheat and damage the starter. If the vehicle fa charger to continue to charge the battery.

Turn the switch to OFF and remove the AC power cord from the electric outlet before disconnecting the DC clamps.
