IMPORTANT
To prevent damaging voltage spikes, the
battery cables must be disconnected
from the battery to be charged in any
vehicle equipped with a computer, or any
equipment with sensitive electronic
components. Failure to follow this
warning can result in damage or failure
of any or all electronic components, thus
voiding the warranty of the machine.
IMPORTANT
Never leave the machine unattended
while charging a battery. Always
carefully monitor the charging system
while it is in use; the high amperage level
that the unit produces can damage the
battery being charged, or the other
components, if the unit is left connected
for an extended period of time.

2. Attach the clamps of the battery charge cable
to the battery to be charged. RED to the
positive terminal, BLACK to the negative
terminal (Figure 5-6).
3. Plug the battery charge cables into the battery
cable connection.
4. Start the engine and wait for all indicator lights
to turn off. Place the DC Welder/Charger
selector toggle switch in the DC Charger
position, and then the DC Charger Mode
switch to the correct position. The engine
should come up to operating speed; the
battery is being charged.
5. If the engine speed does not increase, check
for residual battery voltage. No residual
voltage indicates a battery not capable of
accepting a charge, and will not allow the
charge function to energize.
6. When machine begins to cycle between high
and low idle then the battery is fully charged.
7. To disconnect the charging system, place the
DC Welder/Charger selector toggle switch to
the OFF position.
8. Allow engine to idle down, then shut down the
engine.
9. Now it is safe to disconnect the clamps from
the battery being charged, and the battery
cable connection on the front of the machine.
OPERATION
Part Group Task
When operating in extreme hot or cold conditions, extra
attention should be given to any indications that could
lead to a serious problem. Machine review and
maintenance check schedules should be more frequent
than the normal suggestions given in Section 6.3,
Maintenance Schedule Table.
