preferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm, but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm section cable.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.

FOR THIS REASON, IT VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT.

1.2.1. Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.

WARNING! Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems. YouarerequiredtocheckwiththevehicleManufacturer,foranyspecificinstructionsregardingtheuseofthistypeof equipment on each vehicle. 1.2.2. No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions. 1.3. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS 1.3.1. Ensure there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near a

lead-acid battery. 9 Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery. 9 Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. 9 Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean

running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. 9 Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current

which is high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns. 9 Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair. 8 DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

4.1.8. The correct charging status of the battery may be determined by using a hydrometer whichwill measure the specific density of the electrolyte. The following figures (kg/ltr) apply at 20C:

1.28 = Fully charged, 1.21 = Half charged, 1.14 = Fully discharged. WARNING! Be cautious and vigilant as the electrolyte is highly corrosive acid.

4.2. CONNECTING CHARGER TO BATTERY 4.2.1. Ensure that the battery charger is unplugged from the mains power supply before connecting power leads to the battery. 4.2.2. Select the charger voltage to match that of the battery by setting the rocker switch to either 12 or 24 volts. Initially, always set the

Charge Rate rocker switch to mIN. 4.2.3. Check the charger clamps and battery terminals to ensure that they are clean and free from oxidation. 4.2.4. Connect the charger POSITIVE (Red or +) lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the battery and the NEGATIVE (Black or -) lead to the

NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the battery.

4.3. CHARGING THE BATTERY 4.3.1. Connect the charger to the mains power supply and turn it on with the front panel mounted ON/Off switch. 4.3.2. Check the current delivery to the battery by reading the ammeter on the front of the battery charger. During charging the pointer on the

ammeter will slowly move to the left according to the capacity and condition of the battery (see fig.1, meter face may vary according to model.)

4.3.3. If a boost charge is required, ensure that an initial charge has built up first before moving the Charge Rate rocker switch to BOOST, see fig.2. 4.3.4. To indicate that the battery is fully charged the reading on the ammeter should be at the 0output indicator. To correspond with this the electrolyte in the battery will begin to gas. Stop charging at this point in order to protect the battery plates from damage.

WARNING! The charger will not switch off automatically. The state of charge should be regularly monitored by the person with responsibility for charging the battery.

8 DO NOT leave the charger operating unattended or overnight. 4.3.5. Unplug the charger from the mains power supply and then disconnect the clamps from the battery terminals. Clean and store the charger in a safe, dry area. 4.3.6. Replace the battery electrolyte cover or caps. Wipe up any splashes or spillages, remembering that the electrolyte is a corrosive acid. Return the battery to the vehicle, secure according the manufacturers instructions and re-connect the power leads. 4.3.7. Check to ensure that all tools are removed before closing the bonnet or boot.

4.3.8. SEALED BATTERIES 4.3.8.1. Charge a sealed battery very slowly, carefully monitoring the voltage across the battery terminals using a normal tester. 4.3.8.2. When the battery terminal voltage reaches 14.4V for 12V batteries or 28.8V for 24V batteries, stop charging.

4.4. MULTIPLE BATTERY CHARGING WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge different types of battery or batteries with different capacities or levels of discharge.

4.4.1. A number of batteries may be charged at the same time. To do so we recommend parallel connection as shown in fig.3.

4.4.2. Two batteries may be charged in series using the 24V output as shown in fig.4.

4.5. FUSE 4.5.1. The charger is equipped with two front panel mounted fuses. The output protection fuse on the left will interrupt the circuit in the

following circumstances: a) Overload - too high a current to the battery. b) Short circuit - clamps touch, or cross-connection to battery. c) If the output fuse blows take the following action: Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply. Allow the unit to cool down, establish the reason for fuse blowing and correct. Replace the fuse. DO NOT use a fuse with copper bridge or similar as these will damage your starter charger. Refer to Section 3 Specifications for fuse information. We recommend that you hold 2 spare fuses with the charger. 4.5.2. The input protection fuse is situated to the right hand side of the control panel, see fig.3. If this fuse blows, replace only with a fuse of

the same value. 4.6. THERMAL PROTECTION 4.6.2.1. When a high current causes the charger to overheat the internal thermal protection will cut off the current. When the charger has

cooled sufficiently it will automatically reconnect. NOTE: The use of an incorrect fuse will invalidate your warranty.
