K. BATTERY CHARGING
CHARGER MUST BE ASSEMBLED BEFORE USING.
1.
Before charging any battery, make sure the electrolyte (bat-
tery liquid) in each cell is at correct level.
2. Set all switches and timers to the OFF position. (Model
2352 does not have a timer.)
3. If the battery is being charged inside the vehicle, use con-
nection procedures outlined in Section F. Should the bat-
tery be removed from the vehicle, follow the instruction in
Section D, step 6 and Section G. Plug the power cord into
the AC outlet.
4. Set the charge rate switch to the desired charge position.
See Charge Rate Charts.
5. Set the timer from OFF position to desired timed charge,
30-135 minutes. (No timer on PS-2352).
NOTE: These battery chargers are not automatic and can
overcharge a battery if permitted to operate for ex-
tended periods of time. Monitor the charging often.
Also, your charger may exhibit a noise (buzzing)
during charging. Laminations of the transformer
tend to vibrate. This is normal...continue to charge
the battery. The noise may continue after charger
is disconnected from battery.
