REPLACING THE FUSE

The charger's fuse blows if you connect
the DC cord's clamps to the wrong bat-
tery terminals. This protects the charger,
the battery pack, and your vehicle's
electrical system. We recommend that
you keep some spare 5-amp, 1
slow blow fuses (such as Cat. No. 270-
1027) with your charger, in case the
fuse blows.
Caution: Do not use a fuse with ratings
other than those specified here. Doing
so might damage your charger.
If the CHARGE indicator does not light
or the charger does not operate when
you turn it on, follow these steps to
check and replace the fuse.
1. Disconnect and remove the battery
pack from the charger.
