12. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Do not start the vehicle with the charger connected to the AC
outlet, or it may damage the charger and your vehicle.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a battery is properly connected. The clamps
will not spark if touched together.
CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE
1. Turn off all the vehicle’s accessories.
2. Keep the hood open.
3. Clean the battery terminals.
4. Place the charger on a dry, non-ammable surface, or use the convenient hook
attachment to hang the unit safely outside the work area.
5. Lay the AC/DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
6. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in most vehicles), connect the charger’s
POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post. Next,
connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis or
engine block, away from the battery.
7. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post. Next, connect the charger’s POSITIVE
(RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. NEVER
connect any clamps to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
8. Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
9. When the charger starts, the GREEN LED will be solid, and the display will
show ANALYZING BATTERY while the charger determines that the battery
is properly connected, the condition of the battery, and whether the battery is
6V or 12V.
10. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on the front of
the unit. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED will pulse.
11. When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC power, remove
the clamps from the vehicle’s chassis, and then remove the clamp from the
battery terminal.
