Operating Procedure

To charge your battery follow these steps:

1)If possible, disconnect all loads from the battery, by removing battery cables, by opening a battery disconnect switch, or by switch- ing loads off.

2)Set the BATTERY TYPE selector switch to the type of battery you are charging. If your battery has removable caps that allow you to add water, it is a flooded type, and the switch should be set to FLOODED. If your battery is sealed and has no caps, set the switch to GEL. The Truecharge 10 should be set for GEL for all sealed batteries, even if they use starved-electrolyte technology rather than gelled electrolyte technology.
