a. Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.
b. Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts
c. Charge for length of time per charge,
d.
Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be used for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to
gas excessively or if the temperature of the electrolyte reaches approximately 125E
F. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and eventual damage to the battery.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Attach the handle to the charger using the four screws provided. Attach the front leg to the base with the four hex head screw provided. To attach
wheels and axle to the base, tap one axle nut onto the axle with a hammer, slide one wheel onto the axle with the whitewall facing out, place one washer

TO CHARGE BATTERIES
Make connections to the battery per the instructions in preceding section of this manual. Determine the battery voltage and set initial charge rate settings per chart. Turn
the timer on. If a higher rate of charge is desired, turn the AMPS CHARGE switch to the appropriate 2, 3 or HI position.
Always return the AMPS
CHARGE switch to LO position be fore advancing the VOLTS CHARGE switch.
12V CRANKING ASSIST AND BOOST STARTING
Turn off all lights and accessories in the vehicle.
Connect the charger to battery per previous instructions. Charge the battery at least five minutes. Put the switch in the "12 Boost" position.
Start the car with the charger connected to the battery. Follow the duty cycle on the unit. Turn the switch to OFF and remove the AC power
cord from the electric outlet before disconnecting the DC clamps.
DIESEL VEHICLES
Diesel engines have special starting requirements due to the high compression required to ignite the fuel mixture. Because of this, the starter
