from your authorized dealer to connect directly to your vehi-
cle from the recommended chargers to simplify the mainte-
nance charging process. Check with your authorized dealer
for proper installation of these charging adapter connectors.
4. Plug the battery charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet.
5. If using the CTEK Multi US
800, there are no further but-
tons to push. If using the
CTEK Multi US 3300, press
the Mode button (A) at the left
of the charger until the Main-
tenance Charge Icon (B) or
Normal Charge Icon (E) at the
bottom illuminates. The Nor-
mal Charge Indicator (C)
should illuminate on the upper portion of the battery charger.
NOTE:
For optimal charge and performance, leave the charger
connected to the battery for a minimum 1 hour after the Mainte-
nance Charge Indicator (D) illuminates.
The maintainer/charger
will charge the battery to 95% capacity at which time the
Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate and the
maintainer/charger will change to pulse/float maintenance. If
the battery falls below 12.9 DC volts, the charger will auto-
matically start again at the first step of the charge sequence.
If the battery becomes hot to the touch, stop charging. Resume
after it has cooled.
NOTE: Not using a battery charger with the proper float
maintenance will damage the battery if connected over
extended periods.
6. Once the battery has reached full charge, unplug the charger from
the 110-volt electrical outlet.
NOTE: If, after charging, the battery does not perform to
operator expectations, bring the battery to an authorized
dealer for further troubleshooting.
