OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating your optional Charger with the Glow Driver
1. Attach the AC charger to the AC wall outlet. Make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
CAUTION: Always connect the charger to AC power before connecting a Glow Driver
to the charger, or damage to the charger and the battery can result.
2. Correctly connect the output end of the charger to the igniter end of the glow driver.
3. The light of the red LED on the charger indicates that the unit is charging.
4. After charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC power outlet then disconnect
the Glow Driver from the charger.
ESTIMATED CHARGE TIME
The charger can charge (at a 250mAh charge rate) the included Ni-MH battery (2600mAh) of
the glow igniter in approximately 10 hours if the battery is fully discharged. Initial charging will
take about 8.5 hours and recharging will require slightly less time, depending on the amount
the battery is discharged.
HEATING A GLOW PLUG
Connect the glow driver to a glow plug by depressing the spring loaded plunger, then releasing
the plunger when the end of the driver is on the glow plug’s hexagonal body.
When the meter pointer points to the green, the glow igniter is operating normally and the glow
plug is passing current.
When the meter pointer points to the red, the glow driver’s battery may be low and require
charging. If the battery is fully charged, the glow driver may be faulty or the glow plug has
failed. Replace faulty parts when needed.
We recommend always putting an insulating cap on the end of your driver during storage
to prevent accidental shorting or battery discharge through the electrical connection.
