Lincoln PowerLuber 1815A series Owner's Manual

CHARGER OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Before using your PowerLuber for the first time, the battery
pack should be charged for 12 hours.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as that shown
on the charger specification plate.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. With the red light off, insert the battery pack into the charger.
The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time.
4. The battery pack may be left on the trickle charge until you
are ready to use.
5. Disconnect charger from power source when not in use.
INDICATOR LIGHT OPERATION
DEFECTIVE BATTERY INDICATOR
The charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with battery packs.
Weak battery pack - The red light flashes at a fast rate indicat-
ing the battery pack cells are coming to the end of their useable
life span.
Shorted battery pack – The charger light will not come on if the
battery pack has a short. (Note: The charger must be plugged
in power source)
If either of these problems occur, re-insert battery pack into the
charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack
to determine if the charger is O.K. If the new pack charges
correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling.
Have the charger tested at an authorized service center if the
charger lights indicate the same trouble as the original battery.

PowerLuber Battery Charger
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE
CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red
light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack
fresh and fully charged. (A mobile charger left plugged into a
vehicle with the engine off will continue to draw electrical current
which could result in a weak vehicle battery.)
NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out
of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on main-
tenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A
battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger
that is not plugged into an appropriate source.
As a battery pack approaches the discharged state, you will no-
tice a sharp drop in tool performance. When the tool is unable to
perform the task at hand, it is time to recharge the battery pack.
Discharging the pack beyond this point can damage the pack.
NOTE: Battery temperature will increase during and shortly after
use. Batteries may not accept a full charge if they are charged
immediately after use. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before charging for best results.
CAUTION: Vent slots in top and bottom of charger must not be
obstructed. Do not charge battery when temperature is BELOW
32°F (0° C) or ABOVE 104°F (40° C).
