Battery Charging
CHARGE AFTER EACH USE
1 Amp Digital Automatic Charger
(model V-410 / 1 Amp)
1 Allow the battery to warm up before charging. This makes it
easier for the charger to charge the battery and the battery is
more accepting of a charge.
2 Plug the charger into a wall outlet, verify that it is operating
by noting the illuminated GREEN light.
3. Connect the charger to the Easy Charge Jack attached to the
unit. The charger’s light will switch to RED, indicating that it is
connected correctly and the battery is charging.
If your charger is NOT equipped with an Easy Charge Jack, connect the
terminals to the battery with the RED (+) connected to positive and BLACK
connected to negative (–). The charger’s light will switch to RED, indicating
that it is connected correctly and the battery is charging.
FLASHING RED INDICATES A REVERSE CONNECTION .
4. Keep the charger plugged in and connected until the RED light has changed to
GREEN. This indicates the battery is at full charge.
5. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and disconnect from the battery.
Charging times will vary depending on how much the battery has been drained. If the
battery has been completely drained (approx. 24 to 30 hrs. of use on a 9 amp battery)
the battery will require about 9 hours of charging. Once the battery is fully charged and
the charger’s light returns to GREEN, the charger is then operating in a “Maintenance
Mode”. At this stage, the charger can remain connected to the battery indefinitely and the
battery will be maintained at full charge.
