OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating your Charger with the Glow Driver
1. Attach the AC charger to the AC wall outlet. Make sure the plug is fully seated in the
socket.
CAUTION: Always connect the charger to AC power before connecting a Glow Driver
to the charger, or damage to the charger and the battery can result.
2. Correctly connect the output end of the charger to the igniter end of the glow driver.
3. The light of the red LED on the charger indicates that the unit is charging. When charging is
complete, the red LED on the charger will go out.
4. After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC power outlet then
disconnect the Glow Driver from the charger.
ESTIMATED CHARGE TIME
The charger can charge (at a 170mAh charge rate) the included Ni-Cd battery (1800mAh) of the
glow igniter in approximately 15 hours if the battery is fully discharged. Initial charging will
take about 12 hours and recharging will require slightly less time, depending on the amount
the battery is discharged.
HEATING A GLOW PLUG
Connect the glow driver to a glow plug by depressing the spring loaded plunger, then releasing
the plunger when the end of the driver is on the glow plug’s hexagonal body.
We recommend always putting an insulating cap on the end of your driver during
storage to prevent accidental shorting or battery discharge through the electrical
connection.
