Installing The Charger - Guest Trolling Charger 2613A Owner's Manual

Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specified by the
6.
battery manufacturer, if applicable. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps,
carefully follow the manufacturer's recharging instructions.
Never allow the ring terminals to touch each other.
7.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
8.
Please be sure the DC system to which the charger is connected is not drawing
9.
excessive current from the battery for extended periods of time while the charger is
operating. This is important to ensure the charger correctly transitions through each
charging stage to finish with the float voltage level. If the DC system is drawing
continuous current while charging, reduced life or damage to the battery may occur.
AC Connection and Grounding Precautions
DO NOT OPERATE THIS CHARGER WITH A TWO BLADED ADAPTER PLUG OR
EXTENSION CORD. DOING SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
AFTER SECURING THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, PLUG THE AC LINE CORD
INTO AN AVAILABLE AC OUTLET THAT IS PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT
CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) BREAKER.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of shock, connect only to a properly grounded outlet.
NOTE: AC Line Cord color coding is EU style. Line = Brown, Neutral = Blue, Ground =
Green

2. INSTALLING THE CHARGER

Choosing Charging Location
The charger should have at least eight inches of unobstructed area on all sides of the
unit for effective cooling. The case of this charger will become warm during operation.
Because the charger is convection cooled (airflow over the back of the charger), the
optimum mounting position for the charger is vertical. Mounting on its back on a
horizontal surface may cause the charger to slightly reduce amperage output due to the
thermal protection built in. Do not install the charger on carpeted, upholstered, or
varnished surfaces.
Mounting the Charger
Use corrosion resistant ¼" dia. bolts, backed by a flat washer, and secured to the
1.
mounting surface with a split-ring lock washer.
Hold the charger to the mounting surface and mark the holes.
2.
Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.
3.
Align the charger and assemble the mounting hardware. Secure.
