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 8.

4.If you’ve connected everything correctly, the AC POWER LED

will be lit indicating the charger has power, the CONNECTED LED will be lit indicating the battery is properly connected and the CHARGING LED will be lit indicating that the charger is charging. If any of these LEDs are not lit, check the connections at the battery and AC source or have the battery checked/replaced.

NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. It will not supply current to the battery clips until a battery is properly connected and the CONNECTED LED is lit. Unlike traditional chargers, the clips will not spark if touched together.

Using The Quick-Connect Cable Connectors

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

NOTE: Never connect the clamp and ring terminal connectors 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.

Battery Clips

Connect the battery clip cable assembly to the charger. Follow the safety instructions in sections 6 or 7 to connect the output clips to the battery.

Ring Terminals

The ring connectors permanently attach the battery providing easy access to quickly charge your battery. To permanently attach it to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from the bolts at the battery terminals. Connect the red positive ring connector ring to the positive (POS, P, +) battery terminal. Connect the black negative ring connector ring to the negative (NEG, N, -) battery terminal. Replace and tighten the nuts to secure it. Take care to keep both wires and plug away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. Connect the ring connector cable assembly to the charger. Periodically check the ring connectors to ensure they are properly connected.
