With the exception of AGM and gel cell

batteries, all other battery types may or

may not have vent caps. Vent caps are

located on top of the battery and provide

a means to add distilled water when

needed. Batteries should be marked

with their type. If charging a battery that

is not marked, check the manual of the

item that uses the battery. If the battery

type is unknown, use the Type 1

position. Make sure the battery complies

with the safety instructions on page 3.

Engine cranking: When the 100A

Start rate is selected, the charger waits

until the engine is actually being

cranked before delivering 100 amps for

engine start. Note: The charger

delivers a charge of 3 to 7 amps while

waiting for the engine to be cranked and

will reset if the engine is not cranked

within 15 minutes. Cranking is allowed

for up to 3 seconds, then the charger

shuts down for a 4 minute cool down

period. During the cool down period the

Start LED will blink. After 4 minutes, the

Start LED will light continuously,

indicating that another crank cycle can

be performed.

Battery Status LEDs: The status of the

battery is indicated by a row of six

LED's. The first LED is red; it will light

under the following conditions:

1. The charger is not connected to a bat-

tery. Red LED lights continuously.

2. The charger is reverse-connected to a

battery. Red LED lights continuously.

3. The charge cycle was not completed

within 24 hours. Red LED blinks.

4. The battery could not be charged in a

normal manner. This could be due to a

battery with a partially shorted or open

cell, sulfated battery plates or electro-

lyte out of balance. Red LED blinks.

The next four LED's are amber. First,

only the leftmost amber LED will light.

Then two, then three, and eventually all

four amber LED's will light. Refer to

"Estimating Charge Time" on page 12

for more information.

The sixth LED is green and lights to indi-

cate that charging is complete. When the

green LED lights, the amber LED's will turn

off and the charger starts Maintain Mode.

See the Control Panel table on the next

page.

Setup and Operating: Follow all safety

and connecting procedures in this

manual. Located above each button on

the control pad is an amber LED that

lights to indicate that the selection is

active.

When first plugged in, the charger will

automatically default to the 2 AMP /

TYPE 1 position. You may then select

the charge rate and battery type. For

example, if you're charging a large 12-

volt deep cycle battery, press the

buttons labeled 15 AMP and TYPE 2.

Note: If you press a charge rate or

battery type button after charging has

started, the charger will restart the

charging process. Refer to "Estimating

Charge Time" on page 12 for more

information.

When selecting the Start position, you

do not have to select a battery type. All

indicator lights will turn off except for the

light above the Start button. The red

LED will also light if a properly con-

nected battery has not been detected.
