CALCULATING CHARGE TIME

Use the following table to more accurately determine the time it will take to
bring a battery to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the
chart.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery's rating on the chart below and note the charge time given for
each charger setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior
to recharging. Add more time for severely discharged batteries.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

13.1 After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the
battery charger (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
13.2 Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
battery clips, cords, and the charger case.
13.3 Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working
condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
13.4 Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable
parts.
13.5
All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personal.

electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet.

Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
14.3 Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or
clipped to cables.

take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or property damage.
