INSTALLING THE CHARGER

Choosing Charging Location
1) The charger should have at least eight inches of unobstructed area on all sides of
the unit for effective cooling. The case of this charger will become warm during
operation. Because the charger is convection cooled (airflow over the back of the
charger), the optimum mounting position for the charger is vertical. Mounting on
its back on a horizontal surface may cause the charger to slightly reduce amperage
output due to the thermal protection built in. Do not install the charger on carpeted,
upholstered, or varnished surfaces.
2) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
3) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
4) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity
or filling battery.
5) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
6) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
Mounting the Charger
1) Use corrosion resistant 3/16" dia. or # 10 bolts, backed by a flat washer, and
secured to the mounting surface with a split-ring lock washer.
2) Hold the charger to the mounting surface and mark the holes.
3) Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.
4) Align the charger and assemble the mounting hardware. Secure the charger.
