Control Panel - Schumacher Electric SE-2352 Owner's Manual

9.2 Attach the foot: Remove the charger
from the packing materials and place
upside down on
a flat surface.
Attach the foot
and secure it with
the two 10-24 x
5/8" thread cutting
screws provided.
9.3 Assemble the wheels and axle: Hold the
axle upright on the floor or work surface.
Then, using a hammer, tap one of the axle
caps onto the top end of the axle. Be sure
to tap the axle cap on straight. Slide both
wheels onto the axle with the recessed
hubs facing out as shown. Install the
second axle cap.

CHARGE RATE SELECTOR SWITCH
Use the charge rate selector switch to select
the charge rate or engine start setting.
• 1.5A, 2A or 4A Slow Charge – For small
batteries, such as those commonly used
in garden tractors, snowmobiles and
motorcycles.
• 10A, 15A, 30A, 35A, 40A, 60A or 80A
Fast Charge – For charging automotive,
marine and deep-cycle batteries. Not
intended for industrial applications.
• 100A, 150A, 200A or 300A Engine Start –
Provides additional amps for cranking an
engine with a weak or run-down battery.
Always use in combination with a battery.
TIMER (Not applicable for SE-2352)
The timer allows you to set a specified
time for charging. After the timer expires,
the charger stops charging your battery.
The main function of the timer is to
prevent overcharging, while allowing
a battery time to obtain a satisfactory
charge. To properly set the timer, you
must know the size of the battery (in
ampere hours) or reserve capacity
(in minutes) and the state of charge.

9.4 Mount the axle to the charger: Place
one end of each bracket into the slot on
the bottom of the charger. Place the axle
assembly under each bracket. Attach
the brackets using the two 10-32 thread
cutting screws provided.
NOTE: Be careful not to drop the brackets
4
inside of the charger case.
9.5 Attach the handle: Turn the charger
right side up onto its foot and wheels.
Remove the two top screws from each
side of the charger. Align the
handle, so the screw holes
are aligned with the screw
holes on each side of
the charger. Attach
the handle, using
the same screws
you previously
removed.
It is important that you determine the
appropriate state of charge of your battery
and set the timer accordingly.
Hold – This position defeats the timer
function, allowing for continuous
operation. Be sure to monitor the charging
progress and stop when the battery is
charged. The hold position will overcharge
a battery if it is not monitored. This will
damage your battery and may cause
property damage or personal injury.
AMMETER
The Ammeter indicates the amount of
current, measured in amps, that is being
drawn by the battery. As a battery takes
on a charge, it draws less current from
the charger. Correspondingly, the meter
will show less current being drawn by the
battery. When the current stops decreasing,
the battery is charged. The start area of the
meter indicates a high rate of current being
drawn from the charger. When cranking
an engine, the meter needle will be at the
extreme right side of the start area. The 2
amp charge rate may indicate some activity
on the meter, although the meter does not
have the resolution to display this low rate.
