This battery charger is equipped with a self-resetting
circuit breaker. This device protects the charger from tem-
porary overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit
breaker will trip open and after a short cooling off period will
reset automatically. This process is known as cycling and
can be recognized by an audible clicking sound.
NOTE: Clicking sound is normal. Wait until charger auto-
matically resets itself.
CAUTION: Persistent clicking (more than 30 minutes) may
indicate reverse connection or shorted battery cells.
This model is equipped with two switches allowing the operator to select the ampere charge rate to a battery as follows:
