2.8 CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISk OF INjURY , CHARGE ONLY RECHARGEABLE LEAD ACID TYPE BATTERIES WHICH MAY INCLUDE MAINTENANCE FREE, LOW MAINTE- NANCE, OR DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY BURST CAUSING PERSONAL INjURY AND DAMAGE. The charger is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than applica- tions using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries commonly used with home appliances. These

4.2 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 20-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. DANGER: BEFORE USING ADAP

PERCENT CHARGED Scale Indicates battery’s approximate state of charge. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommenda- tion for removing surface charge before reading voltage. VOLTAGE Scale The voltmeter will indicate voltage (8–6 volts), whether the charger is on or off. CHARGING SYSTEM Scale o Use to test the alternator. When the ambient temperature is within the range of –40 to +20 F, o (–40 to +49 C)alternator output should indicate a reading in the “O.K.” range. 9.3 TIMER Switch The TIME

9.5 ENGINE START The ENGINE START setting provides a high current suitable for crank-assist/starting a vehicle that will not start due to a discharged battery. Use the step-by-step instructions of the Quick Refer- ence Guide or use the following procedure. With the rate selector switch set to a fast charge (not boost) setting (30–60 AMP), charge battery for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of charge, select the ENGINE START position (50–250 AMP), set the timer to the HOLD position. Attempt to sta

0.4 The temperature of the battery and the equipment the battery is used with has a dramatic effect o o on battery efficiency and system power requirements. For example, at 0 F (–8 C), a battery is operating at 40% of its rated efficiency, while the engine it is attempting to start requires over o o twice as much power as would be necessary at 80 F (27 F). 11.

2.2 SERIES CHARGING Batteries of the same type and voltage rating may be connected in series for charging. The char- ger’s VOLTAGE setting equals the sum of the individual battery voltages and the current through each equals the amount of charge showing on the ammeter. Example: Charging two 2-volt batteries in series requires a 24-volt charger (VOLTAGE) setting. If the ammeter shows 30 amps, each battery will be getting a 30-amp charge. 13.
