H.
Your charger has a five-position, rotary charge-rate selector switch.
Select the switch position that meets your charging needs. See
description below.
Switch Position
Off
6 Volt 30 amp charge
12 Volt 10 amp charge
12 Volt 30 amp charge
12 Volt Engine Start
IMPORTANT– MAKE SURE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE
MATCHES THAT OF THE CHARGE RATE SELECTED.
I.
The ammeter indicates the amp draw on the charger. When a fully discharged battery is connected to the charger, the meter will read the
maximum output rating of the charger, either 10 amps, or 30 amps depending on the amp switch selection. The charge on the 10 amp
or 30 amp will gradually taper down as the battery nears full charge. As the charge current tapers, the ammeter needle will also move
down. Many battery conditions can also cause the meter to appear to indicate a fully charged battery when in fact the charging has just
started.

Cold Batteries–Start charging at a low rate of charge and as
the battery warms up while charging, the charging rate will
increase. After this happens, the battery will charge up and
the meter will decrease normally.
2.
Shorted Batteries–(Battery has shorted circuit in one or more
cells). The meter will usually "peg" at the high amp end of
the scale. If after 5-10 minutes of charging and the needle
has not started to move down scale, stop charging and have
the battery checked. One way to check the battery, would be
to measure the voltage at the battery terminals. If the volt-
age is below 12 volts on a 12 volt battery, (under 6 on a 6
volt battery), plug the charger back in and resume charging
for about 15 more minutes. If the meter has failed to move
towards a lower scale reading, the battery needs to be ser-
viced or replaced.
OUTPUT SELECTOR CONTROLS
Used for
Power to battery charger transformer
and battery is off.
Delivers a 30 amp charge to a 6 volt
battery.
Delivers a 10 amp charge to a 12
volt battery.
Delivers a 30 amp charge to a 12
volt battery.
Delivers 200 amps to a 12 volt
system when the engine is cranked.
Your charger is also equipped with a dual, self reset circuit breaker
system.
The first breaker is designed to interrupt a high flow of current
normally developed while cranking the engine. This is the same
breaker that will open when the output leads are accidentally
shorted together or connected to a battery in reverse. The sec-
ond breaker will open if prolonged cranking persists or for any
other condition in which the output current is much greater than
the 30 amp continuous rating.
THE AMMETER
3.
Lead-Calcium Batteries–When this type battery is deeply dis-
charged, it may require an activation period before it will
accept a measurable charge. (This may take as much as 6
hours before normal charging begins). You should suspect
this condition if the meter indicates at or near zero, but you
have determined the battery is very deeply discharged. Sim-
ply continue to charge the battery until the battery becomes
activated (keep an eye on the charge every 20 minutes or
so) you will see the meter indicating a higher rate of charge.
This will be when the recharge of the battery commences.
The battery is charged when the meter indicates about
1/2 of the selected charge rate. (About 4-5 amps on the
10 amp setting, and about 10-15 amps on the 30 amp
setting).
