OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Do not start the vehicle with the charger connected to the AC
outlet, or it may damage the charger and your vehicle.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. Current will not
be supplied to the battery clamps until a battery is properly connected. The
clamps will not spark if touched together.
CHARGING A BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE
1. Turn off all the vehicle’s accessories.
2. Keep the hood open.
3. Clean the battery terminals.
4. Place the charger on a dry, non-flammable surface, or use the convenient
hook attachment to hang the unit safely outside the work area.
5. Lay the AC/DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
6. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in most vehicles), connect the
charger’s POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post. Next, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
7. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect the charger’s NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post. Next, connect the
charger’s POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block
away from the battery. NEVER connect any clamps to the carburetor, fuel
lines or sheet-metal body parts.

8. Connect the charger to an electrical outlet.
9. When the charger starts, the GREEN LED will be solid, and the display
will show ANALYZING BATTERY while the charger determines that the
battery is properly connected, the condition of the battery, and whether
the battery is 6V or 12V.
10. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on the front
of the unit. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED will pulse.
11. When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC power,
remove the clamps from the vehicle’s chassis, and then remove the clamp
from the battery terminal.
CHARGING A BATTERY OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1. Place battery in a well-ventilated area.
2. Clean the battery terminals.
3. Connect a 24-inch long, 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post (i.e., jumper cable) (not provided).
4. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post.
5. Position yourself and the “negative post extension” cable as far away
from the battery as possible, and connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp
to the cable’s free end.
6. Connect the charger to the electrical outlet.
7. When the charger starts, the GREEN LED will be solid, and the display
will show ANALYZING BATTERY while the charger determines if the
battery is properly connected, the condition of the battery, and whether
the battery is 6V or 12V.
8. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on
the front of the unit. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED
will pulse.
9. When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC power,
disconnect the negative clamp, and finally the positive clamp.
10. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore.
USING THE QUICK-CONNECT CABLE CONNECTORS
Connect any of the three output cable assemblies to the charger in a matter
of seconds.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the clamp and ring terminal connectors together
for use in other applications, such as external battery or other power source
charging, or to extend the output cable length, as reverse polarity and/or
overcharge conditions will occur.

BATTERY CLAMP QUICK-CONNECT
1. Connect the end of the charger output cable to the end of the battery
clamp quick-connect.
2. Follow the steps in previous sections to connect the output clamps
to the battery.
3. After a good electrical connection is made to the battery, plug the power
cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
RING TERMINAL QUICK-CONNECT
The ring connectors permanently attach to the battery, providing easy access
to quickly connect the charger to your battery. This application is appropriate
for motorcycles, lawn tractors, ATVs and snowmobiles.
1. To permanently attach to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from the
bolt at the battery terminal.
2. Connect the red POSITIVE connector ring to the POSITIVE battery terminal.
3. Connect the black NEGATIVE connector ring to the NEGATIVE battery
terminal.
4. Replace and tighten the nuts to secure.
5. Connect the cable to the end of the charger output cord.
Take care to keep the wires and plug away from metal and moving parts.
6. Plug the charger power cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
12V ACCESSORY PLUG QUICK-CONNECT
Charge or maintain your battery without lifting the hood.
1. Connect the end of the 12V Accessory Plug quick-connect to the charger.
2. Insert the 12V accessory plug into the 12V accessory outlet.
3. Route the power cord from the charger through the vehicle’s open window.
4. Plug the charger power cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
5. If the vehicle’s ignition key has to be on in order for the accessory outlet
to supply/receive power, turn the key, without starting the engine.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintain
mode automatically after the battery is charged.
BATTERY CONNECTION INDICATOR
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, charging will not
start and the digital display will show one of two messages. If the display
shows CONNECT CLAMPS, make sure the charger is connected to the
battery and the connection points are clean and making a good connection.
If the display shows WARNING CLAMPS REVERSED, unplug the charger
from the AC outlet, reverse the connections at the battery, and then plug the
charger back in.

CHARGE COMPLETION AND MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
Charge completion is indicated by the GREEN LED pulsing and the digital
display showing FULLY CHARGED AUTO MAINTAINING. This means that
the charger has stopped charging and has switched to the Maintain Mode of
operation. NOTE: If the charger has to provide its maximum maintain current
for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into Abort Mode (see Aborted Charge
section). This is usually caused by a drain on the battery, or the battery could be
bad. Make sure there are no loads on the battery. If there are, remove them. If
there are none, have the battery checked or replaced.
MAINTAINING A BATTERY
The 28.71239 maintains both 6 and 12 volt batteries, keeping them at full
charge. It is not recommended for industrial applications.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology allows you to safely charge and
maintain a healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems
with the battery, electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections or
other unanticipated conditions could cause excessive current draws. As such,
occasionally monitoring your battery and the charging process is required.
DESULFATION MODE
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become
sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated
battery, the charger will switch to a special mode of operation designed for
such batteries. If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is
desulfated. Desulfation could take up to 8 hours. If desulfation fails, charging
will abort, the GREEN LED will flash, and the display will show CHARGE
ABORTED-BAD BATTERY.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging
aborts, the charger’s output is shut off, the GREEN LED will flash, and the
display will show CHARGE ABORTED-BAD BATTERY. To reset after an
aborted charge, unplug the charger from the outlet, wait a few moments and
plug it back in.
