Introducing The Charger - Guest 28003 Owner's Manual

1. INTRODUCING THE CHARGER

The Guest model 28003, 28005 AND 28008 are designed to both recharge your
batteries, and extend your battery's life in applications where it is stored for long
periods of time. They are "3-stage" electronic, completely automatic, lightweight, silent,
battery chargers and each output produces 24 Volts DC at either a full 3, 5 or 8 Amps
(model specific), while using much less AC current than other charger types. Unlike
automotive "trickle" chargers, the 28003, 28005 and 28008 will not boil off the
electrolytes in properly installed and maintained batteries. The red and green LED's,
mounted on the charger face, let you know the unit is recharging and maintaining your
batteries. This sophisticated device is designed to recharge and maintain the 24VDC
batteries in you wheelchair or scooter.
THIS CHARGER SHOULD BE USED TO CHARGE ONLY 24VDC LEAD ACID OR
GEL CELL TYPE BATTERY SYSTEMS. USE ON OTHER BATTERY TYPES MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES! WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD ACID
BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THEREFORE IT IS OF THE UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
Personal Safety Precautions
Adhere to the following personal safety precautions when installing or working with the
chargers:
Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid when
1.
you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
2.
clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
3.
working near a battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and

water. If acid enters the eye, flood the eye with cold, running water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention.
