Warnings And Instructions For Translation

 This charger is designed to charge automotive lead acid batteries only, these instructions must be followed for its safe and efficient use.

General Warning

• Battery acid is corrosive, any contact with the skin should be immediately rinsed with copious amounts of water. If in contact with the eyes rinse immediately and seek medical assistance.
• During charging, explosive gases are produced so always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not work near naked flames, lit cigarettes etc., and avoid any action which may cause sparking.
• Disconnect the battery from the vehicle whilst charging.
• Always switch off the charger before connecting to, or disconnecting from, the battery and never attempt to start the engine with the charger connected to the battery.
• Protect the charger from dampness and never use it in a damp or wet environment.
• Only use this product to charge lead/acid automotive batteries of the appropriate voltage. Do not connect batteries in parallel.
• Ensure the battery charger clips are not allowed to touch each other.
• The best indicator of "battery charge" is a hydrometer.
• If the battery needs to be charged frequently, it may be faulty or the vehicle’s charging system may not be operating correctly. They should be tested by an auto electrical specialist.

Operating Instructions

1. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle, if possible remove the battery cell filler plugs and check the liquid level (this should be approximately 5mm above the plates). If necessary, top up with de-ionised water. Refit battery cell filler plugs.
2. With the battery timer switched off, select the appropriate 6, 12 or 24 V setting according to the battery to be charged. Connect the positive (red) clip to the positive terminal and the negative (black) clip to the negative terminal on the battery. Failure to connect the clips correctly can result in damage to the charger and battery.
3. Turn the timer switch to “Hold” or to a set time in minutes (after which the charger will be automatically turned off). The ammeter shows the charging current.
4. If, on 12V only, the current is less than the recommended nominal charge for that battery then switch from 12V Med. to 12V High and repeat. The recommended nominal charge rate for a battery is one-tenth of the A/H (AmpereHour) capacity at 10hr rate for the battery. If in doubt use the 12V High setting for 10-15 mins and then switch to 12V Med to complete the charge. It is normal for the current to reduce as the battery becomes charged.
5. Switch the timer to off before disconnecting the charging clips from the battery, earth connection first.
6. Overcharging must be avoided to prevent damage to the battery and is indicated by excessive gassing and temperature rise. Switch off immediately if either of these is seen.
7. An internal thermal overload cut-out is fitted to protect the charger. If the cut-out operates, switch it off and allow the unit to cool for 15-20 mins and the cut-out will then reset. Check the battery is at the correct nominal voltage, the clips are connected to the correct terminals, etc. before switching it on again.

Operating Instructions - Start Assist

1. If the starting battery is heavily discharged, then it should be charged on the appropriate voltage for 5-10 minutes before reconnecting to the vehicle and using the start assist facility.
2. With the timer switched off, set the selector to the appropriate start voltage for the vehicle.
3. Connect the positive (Red) clip to the positive terminal of the battery. If it is chassis return connect the negative (Black) clip to the vehicle chassis, engine block or heavy gauge frame away from the battery. If isolated return, then connect the charger clips to the jump points on the vehicle.
4. Turn the timer knob to the "Continuous" setting and attempt to start the vehicle.
5. The start assist facility should only be used for a maximum of 10 secs; allow 60 secs cooling before any further start assist attempt.
6. Switch the timer to off before disconnecting the charging clips from the earth connection first.
