| 1) | For sealed batteries, proceed to Step 2. For wet, lead-acid batteries, check that battery fluid level is at or above MINIMUM fill level. |
| 2) | Make sure the charger switch is OFF. |
| 3) | Connect theRED clip to the battery's POSTIVE (+ RED) terminal and the BLACK clip to the NEGATIVE (- BLACK) terminal. |
| 4) | Plug the power cord into a standard grounded 120 volt household outlet, and turn the charger switch ON. |
| 5) | The needle on the meter is normally between 4 and 8 amps when first starting to charge and will slowly drop to 0 amps and vibrate as the battery charges. |
| 6) | The battery will recharge overnight (minimum 12 hrs.), so it will be ready to go 18 holes in the morning. Even though the ammeter needle usually drops to "0" and vibrates before 12 hours on the automatic electronic charger, you must leave the charger on and connected to the battery for the full 12 hours to insure a 100% fully charged battery. |
| 7) | When the battery becomes B>SEVERELYdischarged, you may notice the charger ammeter needle jump to the high end of the scale and back. This is NORMAL, as the charger's overcurrent protection circuit functions. Simply leave the charger and battery connected and power ON. Within 6 hours, the ammeter needle will steady between 4-8 on the meter and slowly drop toward "0" as the battery becomes charged. (Now, refer to general guidelines for recharging time.) |
| 8) | CAUTION: When disconnecting, always turn the charger OFF before removing the charger clips from the battery terminals. |
| 9) | ONCE A MONTH THE BATTERY MUST BE LEFT ON CHARGE FOR A 24 HOUR PERIOD, PARTICULARLY IN THE OFF-SEASON. With older battteries, or as batteries age, it is NOT recommended to leave the charger on for MORE than 24 hours. |
