Operating Instruction
NOTE: The 70 amp charge rate cycles bet-
ween 20 amps and 70 amps during the char-
ging process and the ammeter will show
this. This is a normal condition.
TIME (Timer – Range:
10 minutes to 120 minutes)
Used only in manual mode, the main func-
tion of the timer is to prevent overcharging
while allowing a battery time to obtain a sa-
tisfactory charge. To properly set the timer,
you must know the size of the battery in am-
pere hours or reserve capacity in minutes
and the state of charge.
Hold: This position defeats the timer func-
tion, allowing for continuous operation. Use
when you want to charge more than 2 hours.
Be sure to monitor the charging procedure
and stop when the battery is charged. Not
doing so may cause damage to your battery
or may cause other personal property dama-
ge or personal injury.
