manual as soon as possible.
Operation
1. Place the Charger Engine Starter at least five feet from the battery to be charged.
2. If the battery is to be charged in a vehicle, make sure the ignition is off and the key is
removed. Then, connect the positive (red with + sign) cable clamp to the positive (P or
+) terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the negative (Black with the - sign) to an unpainted solid metal portion of the
vehicle.
4. Set the Charger Engine Starter Switch to the proper setting for the type of battery being
charged. Refer to Table 1 on Page 6.
5. With the battery clamps in place, and the Rotary Switch correctly set, plug the 3-prong
line cord into a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.
6. The Charger Engine Starter is now supplying charging current to the battery. View the
Ammeter to see the amount of charging current. (The Ammeter displays the amount of
the “current draw” of the battery. As it charges, it draws less current. The Ammeter moves
toward zero as the battery charges.)
