When removing the battery, always remove the grounded battery cable first. Reminder: The vehicle’s engine must be OFF when removing, replacing, or charging a battery. 2. If necessary, add distilled water to the battery cells before charging. Read and follow the battery manufacturer’s instruction manual. Never add water to a battery while attached to a charger, or in close proximity to the charger. Do not overfill. 3. Clean battery terminals. 4. Check the battery manufacturer’s instructions on whether or not to have the cell caps on when charging. If not stated, leave the cell caps on. 5. Determine the battery voltage from the battery or the manufacturer’s manual. Operation Instructions Warning! Read and understand all of the safety instructions in this manual before operating the charger. Warning!! If the Reverse Connect light (See FIGURE 1 on page 6) ever lights, immediately unplug the charger and reconnect the clamps to the battery to alleviate the problem. Connection to a battery installed in a vehicle. Warning! The vehicle’s engine must be OFF during the entire charging process. Always read and adhere to all the safety warnings and instructions provided in the vehicle’s manual. 1. Make sure the AC Power Cord (#3) is not plugged in. 2. Set up the charger on a flat, dry surface that allows you to position the Power Cord (#3) and the clamp cords where they won’t be damaged by the vehicle doors, hood, or sharp engine parts. Note: Most vehicles are negative-grounded vehicles. Number 3 below instructs setup for the most common negative-grounded vehicles. Number 4 below addresses the less common positive-grounded vehicles. If you are not sure about your vehicle, check the vehicle’s instruction manual or talk to the a qualified service technician. 3. Negative-grounded vehicles: The battery will have two terminals. One should be marked POSITIVE, POS, P, OR +. The Negative terminal should be marked NEGATIVE, NEG, N, OR -. Connect the red Clamp (#2) to the positive (ungrounded) terminal of the battery. Connect the black Clamp (#2) to a heavy gauge metal part of your vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect to the black Clamp (#2) to the Negative (black) terminal on the battery, fuel lines, the carburetor, or sheet metal body parts. 4. Positive-grounded vehicles: The battery will have two terminals. Connect the NEGATIVE black charger Clamp (#2) to the negative ungrounded terminal of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE red Clamp (#2) to a heavy gauge metal part of your vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect to the NEGATIVE (black) terminal on the battery, fuel lines, the carburetor, or sheet metal body parts. SKU 03418 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7 Operation (continued) Connection to a battery outside a vehicle. 1. Make sure the AC Power Cord (#3) is not plugged in. 2. The battery will have two terminals. One should be marked POSITIVE, POS, P, OR +. The Negative terminal should be marked NEGATIVE, NEG, N, OR -. To protect you by keeping you further away from the battery, connect a battery cable (not included) that is at least 24” long and #6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) to the NEGATIVE terminal of the battery. 3. Connect the POSITIVE (red) Clamp (#2) from the charger to the POSITIVE terminal of the battery. 4. Position yourself and the free end of the battery cable (not included) that is attached to the NEGATIVE battery terminal, as far away as possible from the battery. While facing away from the battery, connect the NEGATIVE (black) charger Clamp (#2) to the free end of the battery cable (not included). Charging 1. The charger must be set to the same voltage as the battery. Settings: The six volt setting (10A/6V) on the select switch is for charging medium to large 6 volt batteries. It is a manual setting. After the battery is fully charged, the charger must be disconnected to avoid damage. Charging time is 6 to 8 hours, and must be monitored throughout the operation. The two amp, 12 volt setting (2A/Auto) on the select switch is for charging small 12 volt batteries or warming larger automotive batteries overnight to assist in cold weather starting. It will not fully charge larger or deep cycle batteries. This setting is automatic. It will slow down the charging rate when the battery reaches full charge. Charging time is a little longer on the automatic setting as the unit tapers off slowly. It takes approximately 6-...
