OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charging
This charger is normally used when charging batteries out of a vehicle, but
can also be used to charge a battery in a vehicle.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. It will not sup-
ply current to the battery clips until a battery is properly connected. Unlike
traditional chargers, the clips will not spark if touched together.

Check to make sure every charger component is in place and in good
working condition.
2.
Connect the battery following the precautions listed in Sections
6 and 7.
3.
Connect the battery cable to the charger.
4.
Connect the AC power following the precautions listed in Section 8, if it
is not already connected.
5.
Turn the Main Power switch ON, if it is not already on.
6.
Select the proper Battery Type, 6V or 12V.
The charger automatically starts charging and switches to Maintain Mode
when complete.
Battery Connection Indicator
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CON-
NECTED (red) LED will not light until such a battery is detected. Charg-
ing will not begin until the CONNECTED (red) LED is on. When charging
begins, the CHARGING (yellow) LED will illuminate.
Charging Mode
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the
Maintain Mode (see below) automatically after the battery is charged.
Aborted Charge
If charging can not be completed normally, charging will abort. When
charging aborts, the charger's output is shut off, and the CHECK BAT-
TERY (red) LED will blink. To reset after an aborted charge, disconnect
the battery.
