BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER
It is important to understand the charger’s requirements. This section explains the
charger’s electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.
PLUGGING IT IN
Your charger requires a 120V AC electri-
cal outlet installed according to all local
codes and ordinances.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an ex-
tension cord, please make sure that you
follow these guidelines:
Make sure that pins on plug of exten-
sion cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those of plug on charger.
Check that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
Make sure that the wire size is large
enough for its length and for the AC
ampere rating, as specied in the
chart below.
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED EXTENSION CORD
Length of Cord, in Feet 25 50 100 150
AWG* Size of Cord 18 18 16 14
*AWG=American Wire Gauge
VERSATILE QUICK-HARNESS
Snap any of the three connectors into
place in seconds:
50 AMP BATTERY CLAMPS
Connect the end of the charger
power cord and the end of the 50 Amp
Battery clamps together. Follow the
Operating Instructions to connect the
output clamps to the battery. After a
solid electrical connection is made to
the battery, plug the power cord into a
3-prong grounded 110V AC electrical
wall outlet.
PERMANENT RING CONNECTORS
The ring connectors permanently
attach to the battery providing easy
access to quickly charge your battery.
This application is appropriate for
motorcycles, lawn tractors, ATVs and
snowmobiles. To permanently attach
to a battery, loosen and remove each
nut from bolts at battery terminal.
Connect the red POSITIVE ring con-
nector ring to the POSITIVE battery
terminal. Connect the black NEGA-
TIVE connector ring to the NEGATIVE
battery terminal. Replace and tighten
the nuts to secure. Take care to keep
both wires and plug away from metal
and the engine hood. Plug the power
cord into a 3-prong grounded 110V
AC electrical wall outlet.
12V ACCESSORY PLUG
Charge or maintain your battery with-
out lifting the hood.
1. Connect the end of the 12V
accessory plug to the matching end
of the charger power cord. Make
sure connection is tight.
2. Insert the 12V accessory plug into
the 12V accessory outlet.
3. Ro u t e t h e
power cord
from charger
through the
vehicle’s open
window.
4. Plug into an
110V AC electrical wall outlet. Make
sure to place charger on a dry, non-
flammable surface, like metal or
concrete.
