MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS9.
Mounting the charger to the fender well: The PSC-15A-
OB charger can be mounted directly to the fender well of
your vehicle as shown. If using the nuts and bolts provided,
drill two holes between 3/16” and 1/4” in diameter. (For
alignment of holes use the charger as a template.) If the
backside of the mounting surface is hard to reach, you
may consider using two 1/2” long sheet metal screws (not
included) instead of the nuts and bolts provided.
Mounting the charger alongside the
battery: The PSC-15A-OB can also be
mounted alongside your vehicle’s battery
using the bracket provided. If possible,
mount the charger to the side of the battery
away from the engine and fan blades.
Mount the bracket to the charger as shown
using the nuts and bolts provided. Loosen the battery retaining hardware enough
that you can insert the bracket between the bottom of the battery and the battery
mounting tray as shown. Position the charger so that it will not rub against the
battery or any other part of the vehicle, and then tighten the battery retaining
hardware.
CAUTION: Do not drill or puncture the battery.
Electrical Installation – The output leads of the charger are terminated with 3/8”
dia. ring lugs. Route and secure the AC cord and the output wiring away from
the gas line, carburetor or other hot, sharp or moving and pinch parts to avoid
damage to the insulation. Secure the AC cord using a cable tie or equivalent. If
