Instructions for Use : IMPORTANT : Read before charging.
WARNING ! Batteries emit EXPLOSIVE GASES - prevent flame or sparks near batteries. Disconnect
AC power supply before making or breaking DC/battery connections. Battery acid is highly corrosive. Wear
protective clothing and avoid contact. In case of accidental contact wash immediately with soap and water.
Check that the battery posts are not loose; if so, have the battery professionally assessed. If the battery posts
are corroded, clean with a copper wire brush; if greasy or dirty, clean with a rag damped in detergent. Before
charging batteries provided with filler caps check that the electrolyte level is correct, and top up with distilled
water if necessary. Do not use the charger unless all input and output leads and connectors are in good,
undamaged condition.
Protect your charger & it's leads, connectors, fuse holders, fuses & terminations from contamination
by acids & fluids, from exposure to damp and humidity, and from physical and accidental damage.
Any damage to the unit, it's leads or accessory parts resulting from such contamination, exposure or
damage is NOT covered by warranty.
NOTE : This charger is delivered with two detachable battery connection lead sets. These sets terminate at one
end with the male element of a special 2-pin connector to insert in the female element which terminates the
main charger output cable. At the other end, one connection set has «crocodile» clips for quick connection to
the battery, the other set has eyelet lugs for permanent attachment to the battery posts. This set has a resea-
lable rubber protective capsule over the connector which should be kept closed when the vehicle is not
connected to the charger, so as to protect the connector from dirt and damp. If intending to charge using the
battery clips, first disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle and place in a well ventilated area. To
connect the eyelet connection set, fix the eyelets firmly through the holes in the battery posts with galvanised
gutter bolts & nuts or in the case of solid posts by galvanised self-tapping screws engaging in suitable holes
pre-drilled in the posts. Make sure that the eyelet on the lead with the in-line fuseholder is fixed to the positive
pole (marked Pos or P or + and often red) and the other eyelet to the negative pole (Neg or N or – and often
black). Ensure that the polarised connector is situated away from the battery and restrained so as not to come
into contact with any moving part of the vehicle. Prevent ingress of grime and dirt to the 2-pin connector. In
case of a blown fuse in the in-line fuseholder, check carefully for damage to the connection set's cables and
replace if damaged or dubious. Replace the burnt fuse only with a similar new fuse of identical type &
10 Amps rating. If in any doubt concerning any of the above instructions, consult a professional service agent
for assistance.
IMPORTANT ! This charger has a charging output selector switch for charging either 6V or 12V
rechargeable lead-acid batteries. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT THE SELECTOR SWITCH IS
CORRECTLY POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE VOLTAGE OF THE BATTERY TO BE CHARGED BEFORE
THE CHARGER IS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY. 6V batteries have three cells, 12V batteries have six
cells. If unsure, contact the battery supplier before connecting the AccuMate.
WARNING ! Connecting a battery to the AccuMate without ensuring the charging output selector is
correctly positioned may cause a hazard resulting in the production and accumulation of dangerous
explosive gases as well as the overheating and potential destruction or even the explosion of the
battery. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
ALWAYS CHECK THE SELECTOR SWITCH POSITION !
