IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for your Xtreme Charge HD Recovery Charger. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by PulseTech Products may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine. ■ PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Determine voltage of battery and make sure it matches the output rating of the charger. ■ CHARGER LOCATION: Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
• Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), or if positive post is grounded to the chassis, see below. • For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect the charger in accordance with all instructions in this manual. Turn on switch located adjacent to the IEC input connection. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR REMOVE SWITCH. See INDICATORS section for explanation of the LED indicators. ■ INDICATORS: The unit will conduct a self-test when the power is turned on. Each LED will illuminate to confirm they are operating properly. • ON - Charger is receiving proper input voltage. • TEST - The charger is testing the battery’s condition.
