OPERATION – Model SF-1275-A
Two switches permit Battery Type and Charge Rate selection.
Switch #1 permits selection of either Conventional or Mainte-
nance Free and Deep Cycle batteries. If you are not sure of your
battery type, use the (Regular) Conventional Setting.
Switch #2 (3 Charge Rate Modes)
Mode 1 -- Select the 2 amp automatic setting for 12 volt smaller
(<31 AH (Ampere Hour)) or to warm larger lead-acid batteries.
Mode 2 -- Select 12 amp automatic for larger 12 volt batteries
for a faster charge.
Mode 3 -- Select 75 amp Engine Start to assist in engine crank-
ing of 12 volt systems. DO NOT use on 6 volt systems. Use the
75 amp engine start position for cranking automobiles or light
trucks. Use only with battery in the vehicle. This will reduce the
chance of damaging sensitive electronic equipment in the ve-
hicle.
