THIS CHARGER OFFERS 3 ACTIVE MODES OF

OPERATIONS: 2 & 12 Amp and Engine Start

Modes 1 and 2 are selected by switch #2, both offer automatic charging. Mode 1 offers a 2 Amp charge rate for 12 volt batteries. Mode 2 offers a 12 Amp charge rate for 12 volt batteries. (For modes 1 and 2, Switch #1 must be in "Charge").

Mode 3 offers 75 Amps, selected by Switch #1, to assist in engine cranking of 12 volt systems. Do not use for crank starting of 6 volt systems, doing so will cause over loading and may result in permanent damage to the charger. Use the 75 Amp position for crank starting automobiles and light trucks. Use only in combination with a battery in the vehicle. This will reduce the chance of damaging sensitive electronic equipment in the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC CHARGING (12 Amps)

When the battery reaches the full charge state, charge current is turned off and the charger switches to the maintainer mode of operation. This action occurs when the ammeter tapers down to approximately 6 Amps. In this state the battery voltage is constantly being monitored. When the battery voltage drops to a predetermined value, charge will turn on for a few seconds replacing the small amount of energy that was lost while the charge current was at 0 Amps.

METER / LED INDICATOR (12 Amp Setting)

The meter gives a reading of the percentage of charge on the battery while charging. The charge current will gradually taper down as the battery approaches full charge. As the charge current tapers, the meter needle will also move down from 25% towards 100%.

When fully charged, the meter needle will suddenly drop to 0 and a green LED will turn on. The 0 is not printed on the meter scale, the LED is located in its place. The 2 amp setting does not show on the meter.

NOTE: As the battery approaches the full charge state the meter needle and LED will fluctuate back and forth between CHARGED and CHARGING. For the average size automotive battery, allow 5 to 10 minutes for the battery to stabilize.

ENGINE STARTING

1.Connect and disconnect the battery charger following the instructions given for charging a battery in a vehicle.

2.Charge the battery for 10 minutes before cranking the engine. This allows you the benefit of drawing current from both the battery and the charger. The average automotive requires from 200 to 500 Amps for cranking.

3.Select the 75 Amp Start position and crank the engine.

4.If the engine fails to start, recharge the battery for 10 minutes or longer and try again. If after several repeated tries the engine fails to start, a problem may lie elsewhere with the vehicle.
