If eye contact is made, flush the eyes with running cold water for ten minutes and then immediately get medical attention. Fire Hazards 1. Use of attachments not designed for this specific model may cause a fire. 2. Disassembling the battery charger may cause a fire. Always have a qualified service technician work on the battery charger. 3. Arcing flames and sparks are possible if you plug in the battery charger before connecting to the battery. Always unplug the charger before battery hookup. More Charger Warnings 1. Short circuits can deliver enough heat to weld a piece of metal (ie: jewelry) to your skin. Always remove any metal or jewelry from your body or pockets before charging a battery. 2. Do not connect charger clamps to a battery in a vehicle when the engine is running. Do not work on or near any vehicle when the engine is running. Moving engine parts can cause serious injury or death. 3. Do not position the charger above the battery being charged or battery gases will corrode the charger. 4. Do not set a battery on top of a charger. 5. Do not allow battery acids to come in contact with the charger. Note: This charger is not recommended for batteries with a built in Hydrometer eye. The reading of the built in eye will conflict with the ammeter readings. SKU 03418 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5 Operation About Charging Batteries Batteries draw as much power as they need from the charger. The charger does not force current into the battery. When a battery is close to dead or very low charged, it will want to draw more current. When a dead or low battery is charged, the charger’s ammeter will register at the high end. As the battery charges, the reading will move down toward the low end, resting on zero, when the battery is fully charged. See FIGURE 1 below. FIGURE 1 Note: The ammeter shows the amount of current being drawn from the charger. It does not show what the charger is capable of delivering. When the battery is fully charged and registering zero on the ammeter, a small trickle charge will continue to move from the charger to the battery. If you do not disconnect the charger from the battery, eventually the heat build up from the trickle charge will cause the battery acid to boil and overcharge the battery causing damage to the battery. You must constantly monitor battery charging progress. Power Requirements This charger must have a 120 volt, 60 Hertz AC (alternating current) power source fused at an amperage greater than or equal to the input rating of this charger. Do not plug this charger in until directed to do so in the following pages of this manual. This charger has a 3-prong plug. The power outlet/receptacle must be grounded. If you use an adapter (3-prong to 2-prong) to connect the plug from the charger to the outlet, the adapter must be a properly grounded adapter and must only be used temporarily, until a qualified electrician can install a properly grounded receptacle. Extension cord use is determined by the input amp rating (2.2 amps) of the charger. Minimum size (AWG rating) of a 25 foot cord is 18 gauge. Minimum size (AWG rating) of a 50 foot cord is 18 gauge. Minimum size (AWG rating) of a 100 foot cord is 14 gauge. Minimum size (AWG rating) of a 150 foot cord is 12 gauge. Never alter extension cords.

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 vehicle...
