BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER

It is important to understand your charger’s requirements. This section will tell you

about your charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for
charging.

QUICK DISCONNECT HARNESS

To permanently attach to a small

battery (i.e. motorcycle), connect the red

POSITIVE harness wire eyelet to the

POSITIVE battery terminal. Then

connect the black NEGATIVE eyelet to

the NEGATIVE battery terminal.

Loosen and remove each nut from bolts

at battery terminal. One at a time, slip

the eyelets of the harness wires over the

bolt at battery terminal. Replace and

tighten nuts to secure.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Route and secure the output away from

gas line, carburetor, or other hot, sharp

or moving parts to avoid damaging the

wire insulation. Secure the wiring to the

frame or cable using a self locking cable

tie or equivalent.

PLUGGING IT IN

Your charger requires a 120V receptacle

installed according to all local codes

and ordinances.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Be
sure that the power cord fits properly

into the outlet. If not, have a qualified

technician install a proper outlet. Never

alter the AC cord or plug provided.

Improper connection can result in

electrical shock.

USING AN EXTENSION CORD

The use of an extension cord is not

recommended. If you must use an

extension cord, please make sure

that you follow these guidelines:

• Make sure that the pins on charger's

power cord fit firmly into the extension
cord, and that the extension cord fits

firmly into the receptacle.

• 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 specified in the
chart below.
