Connection:
1. Connect the RED lead (with inline fuse and ring terminal) to the Positive (+) battery post,
remove the supplied fuse.
2. Connect the BLACK lead (with ring terminal) to the Negative (-) battery post.
3. Fit the correctly rated fuse.
If the charger is used in a Permanent/Hard Wired application and the vehicle will not be
used for some time, it is best to leave the charger connected to mains power (turned 'On')
so that it can maintain the battery fully charged.
Ensure any modification to the 240V mains lead is carried out by a qualified person and that
connection to supply mains is in accordance with National wiring rules.
STEP 3 – CONNECT TO 240V MAINS POWER
Connect the battery charger to the 240V mains powered socket and turn on the mains power.
STEP 4 – SET CHARGE RATE
The charge rate should be set according to the size of the battery. To set, press the MODE
button repeatedly until desired setting is displayed. See the recommended charge rates for
various battery sizes in the table at top of page 7. (Not all outputs are available on all models)
