Step 8: Connect the “POS” wire to the red, positive (+) post; then connect the “NEG” wire to the negative terminal.

Reconnect the positive cable to the positive post and fasten it with the corresponding nut. On the other side,

reconnect the negative cable to the negative post, and then fasten the connection with the post nut.

Troubleshooting:

If the unit does not operate:

1. Charge the unit overnight.

2. Check all of the wiring connections to make sure they’re both mechanically and electrically sound. Give

particular attention to the connections with the battery terminals and to the motor.

A fully-charged lead acid battery in nominal condition at room temperature should store 12.65 Volts. When battery

voltage drops to 11.9 Volts, the battery is considered fully discharged. If you need to check the voltage, turn off the

charger and then wait at least 1/2 hour before checking the battery’s voltage.

If the charger fails to charge the batteries, check the output fuse on the bottom of the charger. Verify the fuse is good

with an ohmmeter, or by visual inspection. The output fuse is 10Amp, 250 Volt; GDA 10A. If the fuse is good, plug

the charger in and check the lights next to the fuse:

Red: Power On

Yellow: Charging

Green: Full Charge

Green Flashing: Batteries are not connected to charger

Verify that the on/off toggle switch is in the ON (—) position.

With the charger connected to the battery, read the output voltage of the battery charger. Depending on the

battery voltage, the reading should be within the range of 26V to 29V DC.

Step 9: Plug this end into a standard 115 volt outlet

and charge batteries for at least 8 hours. The charger

will not overcharge the batteries, so leaving the unit

plugged in overnight or over a weekend is ok.

However, the charger should only be used indoors
