Care and Maintenance

WARNING: Risk of electric shock
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger contains no user serviceable
components. Attempting any kind of service will void your
warranty. Contact your dealer or the manufacturer for service
information.
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger contains solid-state
electronic components that require no maintenance. The best
care you can give the charger is to protect it from contact with
liquids, spray, or fumes which may cause corrosion and by
keeping the air intake vent clean and free from any
obstructions.
Disconnect all AC and DC power and using proper gloves
clean the outside of the case and wiring with a damp cloth if
you suspect it has come in contact with battery fluid, salt
water, gasoline or oil, or other corrosive material. Do not
operate if the charger contains moisture of any kind.
Periodically, check all DC and AC wiring connections to be
sure they have not loosened or deteriorated. Also check all
cable clamps to ensure they are tightly fastened.
Loose battery terminals and lugs exposed to open air corrode
rapidly. The corrosion appears as a white powder or granular
foam on the terminals and any nearby exposed metal parts. If
it contacts your skin, it will cause burns unless you rinse it off
immediately. Most textiles that are exposed to this corrosive
eventually dissolve.
To clean battery terminals:
1. Disconnect all loads and charging sources.
2. Using the appropriate tool, remove the negative battery
3. Remove the positive battery cables.
3–2
cable first and re-install it last.
