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.
• 2A Slow Charge – For small batteries,
such as those commonly used in garden
tractors, snowmobiles and motorcycles.
• 25A Fast Charge – For charging
automotive, marine and deep-cycle
batteries. Not intended for industrial
applications.
• 175A Engine Start – Provides additional
amps for cranking an engine with a
weak or run-down battery. Always use in
combination with a battery.
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

holes on each side of
the charger. Attach
the handle, using
the same screws

removed.
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.
PERCENT OF CHARGE
The percent of charge scale is intended
as a visual aid to help simplify reading the
state of charge. The percent of charge is
based on the current drawn by the battery.
For this reason, accuracy will vary with
the size and battery type. This means that
the indication for a fully charged large
battery may be slightly less than 100%.
TOGGLE SWITCHES
Switch #1 – Use this switch to select the
175 Amp Engine Start and the 25 Amp
Charge Rate. Switch #2 must be in the
down position (Select Position) when
using Switch #1.
• Switch #2 – Use this switch to select the
2 amp Charge Rate and the OFF position.
Also use to select use of Switch #1. Note
that Switch #1 is only effective when
Switch #2 is set to "Select Position."
