11. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
11.1 After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the solar
battery maintainer (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
11.2 Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
battery clips, cords, and the solar panel.
11.3 The solar panel uses a glass substrate; please handle with care.
11.4 Always keep the glass surface clean using a soft cloth in order to ensure its
maximum output.
11.5 Ensure that all of the solar battery maintainer components are in place and in
good working condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
11.6 Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts.
11.7 All other servicing should be performed by quali ed service personnel.
12. MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
12.1 Store the solar battery maintainer unplugged, in an upright position.
12.2 Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
12.3 Do not store the clips clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to
cables.
12.4 If the solar battery maintainer is moved around the shop or transported to
another location, take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and
solar battery maintainer. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
property damage.
13. BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS
13.1 When a maintaining problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable
of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, the solar battery
maintainer clips for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the
cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be
clean.
13.2 When a battery is very cold, partially maintained or sulfated, it will not draw the
full rated amperes from the solar battery maintainer. It is both dangerous and
damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively
use in recharging.
13.3 When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the
complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will
usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for information about troubleshooting,
call toll-free from anywhere in the U.S.A.
