Ensure the correct clamp polarity is attached to the correct terminal of the battery. PosItIVE is indicated by (+) and may be red.
nEGAtIVE is indicated by (-) and may be black. If there are no identifiable symbols, you can distinguish the nEGAtIVE battery terminal as
the one which is connected from the battery directly to the vehicle body.
remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
Do not attempt to charge a non-re-chargeable battery.
Do not use the charger for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
Do not allow untrained persons to operate the charger.
Do not allow the charger terminal clamps to touch each other when the power is on or the charger fuse will blow. remember that gases
are produced which may ignite if sparks occur.
Do not place the charger inside the vehicle. remove the battery to a safe distance for charging.
Do not get the charger wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
Do not operate the charger if damaged.
Do not attempt to modify or open the charger.
When not in use unplug from the mains power supply and store in a safe, dry, child proof area.
WARNING! Be vigilant and cautious during the operation of battery charging as the electrolyte is highly corrosive and emissions of gasses
are flammable and harmful to health.
DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE STARTER
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers and the manufacturer of any
CHARGER.
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.

PERSONAL PRECAUtIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice, or close enough
to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

CHARGING INStRUCtIONS
3.1.
Preparation It is important to correctly prepare for charging ensuring you follow chapter 1 safety regulations carefully. check that the
capacity of the battery is compatible with charger output.
3.1.1. follow any vehicle manufacturer's instructions for charging the battery. note special instructions for charging of non removable vehicle
batteries.
3.1.2. check the battery to ensure that the nEGAtIVE & PosItIVE terminals are clearly identifiable before removing the battery from the
vehicle.
3.1.3. subject to 3.1.1. above, disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle and place in an appropriate safe area according to chapter
1 ready for charging.
3.1.4.If possible remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.
3.1.5. check that the electrolyte is covering the plates inside. If not add distilled water so that the plates are covered by 5-10mm.
3.1.6. the correct charging status of the battery may be determined by use of a hydrometer which will measure the specific density of the
electrolyte.
the following information indicates kgs/L at 20c: 1.28 = Fully charged 1.21 = Half charged 1.14 = Fully discharged.
WARNING! Be cautious and vigilant as the electrolyte is a highly corrosive acid.
3.2.
Connecting the charger to the battery. Ensure the battery charger is unplugged from the mains power supply before connecting
power leads to the battery.
3.2.1. With the exception of model 10/1.V4 (which is 12volt only) set the charger voltage to match that of the battery voltage by setting the
rocker switch to either 12 or 24 Volts ( see figs B,c&D below.)
3.2.2. set the rate of charge on models 10/1.V4,15/1.V4, and 40/1.V4 by setting the rocker switch to MIn or MAX as required ( see figs.
A,B&D ). on model 30/1.V4 three charge levels are available by using the charge level switches as shown in fig.c. ( note that
when the charge level is set to MAX on the supercharge 30/1.V4 the switch marked 1 & 2 is over-ridden.)
3.2.3. check the charger clamps and battery terminals to ensure they are clean and free from oxidation.
3.2.4. connect the charger' s PosItIVE (red or +) lead to the PosItIVE (+) terminal on the battery, and the nEGAtIVE (Black or -) lead to
the nEGAtIVE (-) terminal on the battery.
