CALCULATING CHARGE TIME

Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to
bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the
chart.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery's rating on the chart below and note the charge time given for
each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior
to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

13.1 After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the
battery charger (see Sections 6, 7 and 8).
13.2
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
terminals, cords, and the charger case.
13.3 Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working
condition, including the plastic boots on the battery clips.
13.4 Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts.

electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet.
14.2 Store inside, in a cool, dry place (unless you're using an on-board Marine
Charger).
14.3
Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or
