PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near
a lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working with a battery.
Acid, acid particles or corrosion may get into eyes. Immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery
or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-
acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the
like to metal causing a severe burn.
GROUND AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. (See Figure 1.)
DANGER! NEVER alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in the risk of an electric shock.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures 1 A and B, may
be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 1 B, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
DANGER! Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The
green-colored rigid ear or tab extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet– make
certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure
adapter ear or tab to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.

PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that output voltage
selector switch is set at correct voltage.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove grounded
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow
manufacturer's recharging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturers' specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
6. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown
away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material such as a fan.
7. Charge battery initially at the 2 Amp (lowest) rate.
CHARGER LOCATION
1. Locate charger as far away from battery as cables permit
2. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. Marine batteries must be
removed and charged on shore.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing AC cord from electric outlet.
2. Never allow clips to touch each other.
3. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection.
This tends to keep clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N,-) post.
d. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded
to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block
away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle
chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.

RIGHT 2 A MP /12 V OLT DC C HARGE ( SMALLER BATTERIES )
• Small 12 volt DC batteries such as those used in motorcycles, garden tractors, ATVs, jet skis, and
snowmobiles can be damaged by high rates of charge. ALWAYS select the 2 Amp/12 Volt setting (RIGHT
switch position) to charge this type of battery. For a slower charging time on larger batteries select the
2 Amp/12 Volt setting.
WARNING: IF IN DOUBT ABOUT SELECTING A CHARGE RATE, SELECT THE LOWER RATE. BATTERIES GET
WARM DURING CHARGING - IF BATTERIES ARE GETTING HOT, DISCONTINUE CHARGING AND
INVESTIGATE FOR DAMAGED BATTERY.
NOTE: The HSK074HD is a fully automatic battery charger, which only enables its output power if the terminal
voltage of the battery under charge is higher than 3V.
AMMETER AND INDICATORS
The ammeter is the colored (red, green and blue) chart on the front of the unit. It displays the current flowing from
the charger to the battery, in amperes. (See Figure 5)
The current when starting to charge a battery will depend on the battery's percent of charge. The actual current will
usually be lower than the current selected on the charger's switch, unless the battery is severely discharged. As the
battery charge level increases, the current reduces.
The ammeter is intended to show how the charging process is proceeding. It should not be used to determine the
level of battery charge - this should be done using a hydrometer or a voltmeter.
Typically 12.6 VDC is considered full charge on a 12 volt battery if the voltage is measured one hour after the
charger is disconnected. During charging, a nominal 12 volt battery can be 13.6 volts or somewhat higher, so it
needs to rest after charging to measure actual state of charge.
The charger's built-in battery full circuitry automatically taper charges the battery as it approaches full charge and
discontinues charging when the battery reaches full charge. When the battery is fully charged the
Charging Complete indicator lights. (See Figure 5B) Charging Complete indicator and Polarity indicator.
To the left of the Charging Complete indicator is an indicator that lights when incorrect polarity is sensed. It indicates
that the charger to battery connection is reversed and it must be corrected before charging can begin. This feature
only operates when at least 4 volts or higher voltage remains in the battery to be charged.
FIGURE 5A FIGURE 5B

6
CIRCUIT BREAKER
This battery charger has an internal self-resetting circuit breaker that protects the charger from temporary over-
loads. When it operates it makes a clicking sound. You will see the ammeter reduce to zero when the breaker is
open. After a cool-down period, the breaker will automatically close and the ammeter will show a high rate of
charge. If the breaker continues to cycle every few minutes, reduce charge rate or discontinue charging.
PRE-CHARGE ACTIVATION
CAUTION: Be aware that a fully charged battery will also cause a low Ammeter reading. Attempting pre-
charge activation of a fully charged battery may cause explosion - make sure that battery really is discharged,
before using this procedure.
Pre-charge activation is the term for the time it takes before a battery begins to accept a measurable rate of charge
- it can be as long as 4-8 hours from the time the charging process begins.
Pre-charge activation is indicated if the ammeter reading is zero and a hydrometer or voltmeter reading shows that
the battery is fully discharged.
NOTE: The newer, high-calcium-type 12 Volt DC batteries may need pre-charge activation if their charge has been
allowed to drop to a very low level. When deeply discharged, this type of battery will provide only a very low
voltage output and will draw less than 1 amp during the recharging process, until activated.
CHARGING IF BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE
a) Set charger's Charge Rate Selector switch to appropriate setting according to battery size. Make sure the
Charge/Start switch is in the Charge position.
b) Check polarity of battery posts - For top-mounted battery connectors, the Positive post (marked POS, P, +)
usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, -). For side-mounted battery
connectors, the terminals are marked Positive -red and Negative -black.
c) Attach charger clamps to battery connections, as follows, ensuring a good connection (if there is a mistake,
the Reverse Polarity Indicator will light): NEGATIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE: Connect the POSITIVE (RED)
charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded battery terminal. Then, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clamp to the vehicle chassis, or the engine block (away from the battery). Do not connect the clamp to the
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts: connect only to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block. NOTE: NEGATIVE-GROUNDED type systems are the most common in today's vehicles.
POSITIVE-GROUNDED VEHICLE: Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N,
-) ungrounded battery post. Then, connect the POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine part
(away from the battery). Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts: connect
only to a heavy gauge, stable metal part of the frame or engine block. NOTE: If there is any problem connecting
the charger clamps to the battery terminals, contact the Husky Technical Support Department toll-free at
[phone] for assistance.
d) Plug battery charger power cord into grounded AC power outlet and refer to Appendix A at the end of this
document for approximate charging times.
e) When charging is completed, disconnect cables and clamps in reverse order from which they were connected.
NOTE: Use of Extension Cords
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, as is often the case, observe the following important safety information:
• Before using any extension cord, ensure that the wire size is at least 16 AWG for up to 100 feet and 14
AWG for longer than 100 feet.
• Use only a good quality, good condition, UL-approved extension cord, and ALWAYS connect charger to the
extension cord before plugging the extension cord into a 110/120 volt AC power outlet. The use of a poor
quality extension cord or one that is not in good repair could cause fire and/or electric shock.
• Use a three-wire extension cord with a 3-prong plug and 3-conductor socket.

7
CHARGING IF BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE
Set charger's Charge Rate Selector switch to appropriate setting according to battery size. Make sure the Charge/
Start switch is in the Charge position.
a) Check polarity of battery posts- For top-mounted battery connectors, the positive post (marked POS, P, +)
usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, –). For side-mounted battery
connections the Positive terminal is red, the Negative terminal is black.
b) Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) 6 AWG insulated battery cable to the Negative battery post
(marked NEG, N, -).
c) Connect the Positive (RED) battery clamp to the Positive battery connector (marked POS, P, + or red).
d) Stand as far back from battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final connection.
e) Carefully connect the Negative (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected to the
negative terminal. Connect the charger's power cord to a grounded 110/120 volt AC power outlet, and
refer to Appendix A for approximate charging times.
f) When charging is complete, disconnect cables and clamps in reverse order from which they were connected.
CHARGING TIMES
The HSK074HD is a fully automatic battery charger. It automatically adjusts the charge rate as the battery
becomes charged and stops charging when the battery is fully charged. If you require some estimate of the time
it takes to charge a battery refer to Appendix A for these details.
ENGINE START
The Engine Start function can supply up to 55 amps of current during engine starting. This function is protected by
a thermal circuit breaker and there is a five-minute limit at this output level. Follow all precautions as if charging a
battery in a vehicle, except that the Charge/Start Switch is placed in the Start position and the Charge Rate Switch
is placed in the Engine Start position. DO NOT MAKE BATTERY AND CHASSIS CONNECTIONS WITH CHARGER
PLUGGED INTO AC. Make the final connection to battery and chassis and plug in the charger. Immediately crank
the engine in three-second bursts until it starts. Disconnect the charger's AC connection first and then the chassis
and battery connections. If the engine fails to start, you may change switch positions and charge the battery without
disconnecting the charger from AC.
After charging, if the charger is already powered and connected to the battery, you may safely move the charger's
switches to the Start and Engine Start positions without disconnecting the charger from AC. After the engine starts,
disconnect AC, then the chassis and battery connections.

8
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With only minimal maintenance, the Husky 2/10/55 Battery Charger will deliver years of dependable service.
Follow these simple steps to maintain the charger in optimum condition:
• After each use, clean the battery charger clamps - be sure to remove any battery fluid that will cause corrosion
of the copper clamps.
• Clean the outside case of the charger with a soft cloth and, if necessary, mild soap solution.
• Keep the charger cords loosely coiled during storage to prevent damage to the cords. Do not use the charger if
cords or clamps have been damaged in any way - call Husky Technical Support Department toll-free at
[phone] for details on replacing cords and clamps.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Very Cold Battery
If the battery to be charged is extremely cold (in temperatures less than freezing - 0º C/32º F) it cannot accept a
high rate of charge, so the initial charge rate will be slow. The rate of charge will increase as the battery warms.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge a frozen battery.
Sulfated Battery
When batteries are left in a discharged state for a long period of time, they become "sulfated". Sulfated batteries
cannot accept a high rate of charge since the internal plates are coated with lead sulphate. To see if a battery in this
condition can be "saved", take it to a service station or battery distributor for professional evaluation and/or service .
Short-circuited Battery
• If the battery being charged has been short-circuited, the ammeter will show that the battery has zero charge
level, and that the charger is operating at peak amperage. If, after 5 minutes charging time, the ammeter
reading has not decreased, unplug the charger and discontinue the charging process.
• Using a voltmeter, determine the voltage of the battery and if it is under 12 volts, the battery is probably beyond
repair or recharging, and will need to be replaced.
• If the voltage is over 12 volts, reconnect the charger and resume the charging process for another 15-20
minutes. If, after that time, the ammeter still has not moved towards a lower reading, repeat the voltmeter test.
If the reading is still over 12 volts, there is a problem with the battery that requires professional service or
replacement.
NO AMMETER READING
• Make sure that the charger is plugged into a "live" 110/120 volt AC outlet.
• Unplug charger and check battery connections - ensure that there is a good connection with the battery terminal
and/or vehicle chassis.
• Check to be sure that the battery is not sulfated.
• Check that the correct charge rate has been selected for the battery being charged.
• Ensure that enough charging time has been allowed for - check table in Appendix for approximate charging times.
• See Pre-charge Battery Activation
AMMETER DISPLAYS A READING, BUT BATTERY IS NOT ACCEPTING CHARGE
• First, make sure that battery is capable of being charged - ensure that it is not sulfated or damaged.
• Refer to Charging Time Table in Appendix to ensure that enough time is being allowed to charge the battery.

APPENDIX A — CHARGING TIMES
To calculate the approximate charging time required to fully charge a battery, it is necessary to determine the
specific gravity (or, percent of battery charge) using a hydrometer. Use this technique if battery vent caps can be
removed. Check each cell. If there is one cell with a very low specific gravity compared to the other cells, there is
probably a shorted cell in the battery. Replace the battery.
The following chart converts hydrometer readings into percent of charge values.

The times shown in the chart above are approximate and refer to an average automotive battery. For smaller
batteries, the charge time should be adjusted using the formula shown below and adding 1 hour to the time
calculated.
To estimate charging time for a discharged battery, divide the AH rating of the battery by the charge rate selected.
This is the number of hours required to recharge the battery. For example, a 50 AH (12 volt) battery is discharged
(10 volts). How long should it be charged at the 10 Amp rate. Divide the 50 AH by 10 AH. The answer is
approximately 5 hours. Always round up the charge time by 25% to ensure full charge. In most cases, battery
recharge times will vary depending on the age and condition of the battery. Smaller batteries should be charged at
the lower rate (2 Amps) and add an extra hour to charge time.
