7.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This battery charger must be properly assembled in accordance with the assembly instructions before it is used.

Charging

NOTE: Examine the battery for excessive wear, cracks, bulging or damage each time you charge it. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery, replace it immediately. If the battery is hot, allow it to cool before charging.

1.Select the proper output cable by matching the output cable connector to the vehicle’s battery connector.

2.Connect the battery following the connection instructions described in Using the Quick-Disconnect Cable Connectors section.

3.Connect the AC power following the precautions listed in section 6.

4. If you’ve connected everything correctly, the CHARGING

LED should be lit

indicating that the charger is charging.

 

Using the Quick-Disconnect Cable Connectors

Connect the output cable assembly to the charger. Make sure to place the charger on a dry, non-flammable surface like metal or concrete.

With the charger disconnected from the wall outlet, connect the supplied harness assembly by connecting the black connector to the black connector on the end of the charger cable. Connect the other end of the cable assembly to the battery.

NOTE: See Replacement Parts for more connector information.

NOTE: Never connect the output cable assemblies together for use in other applications, such as external battery or other power source charging, or to extend the output cable length, as reverse polarity and/or overcharge conditions will occur.

Quick Charge

When the CHARGED LED begins to flash, the battery is “Ready To Use”. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and then disconnect the charger from the battery. NOTE:

The CHARGING

LED will remain lit while the CHARGED

LED is flashing.

Complete Charge

When the CHARGED LED stops flashing and stays lit and the CHARGING

LED turns off, the battery is completely charged and the charger has stopped charging and switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. When ready to use, unplug the charger from the wall outlet and then disconnect the charger from the battery.

NOTE: For longer battery life, the battery must be completely charged after two

consecutive quick charges. (Example: quick-quick-complete.)

Aborted Charge

If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,

the charger’s output is shut off, and the CHARGING LED will blink. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.
