CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2 OPERATION
AUGUST 31, 2008
• Set the charger for the correct voltage and charging rate. Then plug the
charger in and turn the switch ON.
• When charging is completed, turn the charger OFF, unplug it and then
disconnect negative and then positive cables. Reconnect the positive and
then the negative battery cables.
2.3.4 Slow Charging
Slow charging passes a relatively small amount (5-7 amps) of current through
a battery for a long period (14-16 hours or longer).
Slow charging is preferred to fast charging if time is available, but a sound
battery will not be damaged by proper fast charging. Older batteries respond
better to slow charging.
Before charging, clean and ll the battery to recommended level. If battery
is to remain in the loader, remove cables to prevent damage to machine
electronics.
NOTICE! Watch battery temperature during charging. If it exceeds 125°F,
lower the charge rate. Temperatures in excess of 125°F will cause serious
battery damage.
Remove battery from charger when charged because overcharging is
harmful.
When installing the battery, be sure you connect the ground strap to the
negative battery post.
