17. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a. Position the AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or moving engine parts.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post.
d. Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most
vehicles), see item "e". If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f".
e. For negative-grounded vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) cable from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE cable from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) cable to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post.
g. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the AC cord, remove the cable from the grounded battery post and then remove the cable from
the ungrounded battery post.
h. See the operating instructions for length of charge information.
18. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Attach at least a 24 inch long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
c. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger cable to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
d. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from the battery as possible - then connect the NEGATIVE charger cable to the free end of
cable.
e. Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
f. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure, and break the first connection while standing as
far away from the battery as practical.
g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
19. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER. Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that the center screw
of the outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from
the adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is
grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with a longer
screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and make
ground connection to grounded outlet.
NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE
THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
20. CHARGE PERIOD
The approximate required time to bring a battery to full charge state depends upon the number of ampere-hours (AH) depleted from the battery.
AHs are determined by multiplying the number of hours times the number of Amps supplied by a battery to a load and normally indicated on the
battery. For example - if a load was connected to a battery, which drew 7 Amps for a period of 5 hours, the battery will have supplied 35 AH. The
approximate recharge time would then be calculated by dividing the 35 AH depleted from the battery, by the ampere charge rate of the charger. To
allow for tapering of the charge rate add 25 percent to the charge time.
21. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING
BLINKING RED LIGHT - Indicates possible weak battery.
CONTINUOUS RED LIGHT - Indicates AC power is on.
CONTINUOUS GREEN LIGHT - Indicates correct connection. If when battery is connected, the green light does not light, check for proper
polarity or poor connections. If the battery voltage is below 4 volts the green light will not come on.
BLINKING GREEN LIGHT - Indicates charge is complete, charger in the float mode.
CONTINUOUS YELLOW LIGHT - Indicates charging, bulk charge, less than 80% charged.
BLINKING YELLOW LIGHT - Indicates finish charge, greater than 80% charged.
FLASHING GREEN AND YELLOW LIGHTS - Flooded batteries only. Indicates deep discharge recovery process.
NOTES:
FOUR SECOND DELAY - To avoid sparking, the charger tests for correct polarity before applying current to the battery. When connected properly,
the green light will come on for 4 seconds before the yellow light comes on.
DEEP DISCHARGE RECOVERY - If the charger determines a battery is deeply discharged, it will attempt to recover the battery with a program
designed to enhance charge acceptance. Because of the high voltage levels required for recovery, this program is not included for sealed
batteries.
