NOTE: The charger defaults to Type 1
when first plugged in or when discon-
nected from a battery. The 6 VOLT
button must then be pressed before
charging a 6 volt battery.
With the exception of AGM and gel cell
batteries, all other battery types may or
may not have vent caps. Vent caps are
located on top of the battery and provide
a means to add distilled water when
needed. Batteries should be marked
with their type. If charging a battery that
is not marked, check the manual of the
item that uses the battery. If the battery
type is unknown, use the Type 1
position. Make sure the battery complies
with the safety instructions on page 3.
Engine cranking: When the 75A Start
rate is selected, the charger waits until
the engine is actually being cranked
before delivering 75 amps for engine
start. Note: The charger delivers a
charge of 3 to 7 amps while waiting for
the engine to be cranked and will reset if
the engine is not cranked within 15
minutes. Cranking is allowed for up to 3
seconds, then the charger shuts down
for a 4 minute cool down period. During
the cool down period the Start LED will
blink. After 4 minutes, the Start LED will
light continuously, indicating that
another crank cycle can be performed.
Battery Status LEDs: The status of the
battery is indicated by a row of six
LED's. The first LED is red; it will light
under the following conditions:
1. The charger is not connected to a bat-
tery. Red LED lights continuously.
2. The charger is reverse-connected to a
battery. Red LED lights continuously.
3. The charge cycle was not completed
within 24 hours. Red LED blinks.
4. The battery could not be charged in a
normal manner. This could be due to a
battery with a partially shorted or open
cell, sulfated battery plates or electro-
lyte out of balance. Red LED blinks.
The next four LED's are amber. First,
only the leftmost amber LED will light.
Then two, then three, and eventually all
four amber LED's will light. Refer to
"Estimating Charge Time" on page 12
for more information.
The sixth LED is green and lights to indi-
cate that charging is complete. When the
green LED lights, the amber LED's will turn
oft and the charger starts Maintain Mode.
See the Control Panel table on the next
page.
Setup and Operating: Follow all safety
and connecting procedures in this
manual Located above each button on
the control pad is an amber LED that
lights to indicate that the selection is
active.
When plugged in, the charger will
automatically default to the 2 AMP /
TYPE 1 position. You may then select
the charge rate and battery type. For
example, if you're charging a large
12-volt deep cycle battery, press the
12 AMP 6 & 12V button and the 12
VOLT TYPE 2 button. Note: If you
press a charge rate or battery type
button after charging has started, the
charger will restart the charging
process. Refer to "Estimating Charge
Time" on page 12 for more information.
When selecting the Start position, you
do not have to select a battery type. All
indicator lights will turn off except for the
light above the Start button. The red
LED will also light if a properly con-
nected battery has not been detected.
The start position can only be used for
12-volt systems, not 6-volt systems.
