For best results from your battery charger, learn to use it properly. This section tells how to set the controls,
charge a battery in or out of the vehicle, use the ENGINE START feature and test the battery.
Using Your Battery Charger
All the controls for your charger are located on the
front. Follow these instructions to obtain the accurate
charge level for your battery.
POWER ON/OFF SWITCH
Make sure your charger is OFF when connecting or
disconnecting your charger from the vehicle and power
source. Turn your charger ON only when it is con-
nected to the vehicle and plugged into a 3-prong
grounded wall outlet.
BATTERY VOLTAGE SELECT
When charging, testing or starting 12 volt systems,
select 12 VOLT. Select 6 VOLT when charging,
testing or starting 6 volt systems.
TOUCH-PAD CONTROLS
With your charger connected to the vehicle and power
source, the battery voltage (6 or 12 volt) selected, and
the power turned ON, select either AUTOMATIC or
MANUAL charge and the rate at which you want to
charge your battery (2, 20, or 60 amp).
• AUTO (Automatic): When first turned ON, the
charger will be in the Manual mode. Touch the
AUTO pad and either the 2, 20, or 60 AMP Charge
Rate Selector pad. Charging will start after a short
delay. It will stop when the battery is fully charged.
While charging, the METER will show battery
voltage. Touch the VOLTS/AMPS pad to see the
amount of amps being drawn by the battery.

• MANUAL: When first turned on, the charger will be
in the Manual mode - there will be no need to select
MANUAL. Select a charge rate and time. The
charger will start charging after a short delay. It will
stop charging only when the selected time or
maximum time is up. For this reason, it is IMPOR-
TANT to check the charger frequently to avoid
overcharging the battery. While charging, the
METER will show battery voltage. To see how much
of the selected charge time is remaining, touch the
TIME pad. The METER will show the time and, after
a short delay, return to showing voltage. To see the
amount of amps being drawn by the battery, touch
the VOLTS/AMPS pad.
