attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not
reduce this risk.
1.11
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-
ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLO-
SIVE GASES DURING NORMAL
BATTERY OPERATION. FOR
THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOL-
LOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH
TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
b. To reduce risk of battery explo-
sion, follow these instructions
and those published by battery
manufacturer and manufacturer
of any equipment you intend to
use in vicinity of battery. Review
cautionary markings on these
products and on engine.
1.12 Keep out of reach of children.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Consider having someone close
enough by to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or cloth-
ing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for
at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.6 Be extra cautious, to reduce risk of
dropping a metal tool onto battery.
It might spark or short-circuit bat-
tery or other electrical part that may
cause explosion.
2.7 Remove personal metal items such
as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a lead-
acid battery. A lead-acid battery can

Page 6
produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use charger for charging only 6V and
12V LEAD-ACID (STD, AGM, GEL or
deep-cycle) rechargeable batteries.
It is not intended to supply power to
a low voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application. Do
not use battery charger for charging
dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury
to persons and damage to property.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
3. PREPARING TO CHARGE
3.1 If necessary to remove battery from
vehicle to charge, always remove
grounded terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehi-
cle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3.2 Be sure area around battery is well
ventilated while battery is being
charged.
3.3 Clean battery terminals. Be careful to
keep corrosion from coming in con-
tact with eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until
battery acid reaches level specified by
battery manufacturer. Do not overfill.
For a battery without removable cell
caps, such as valve regulated lead
acid batteries, carefully follow manu-
facturer’s recharging instructions.
3.5 Study all battery manufacturer’s spe-
cific precautions while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine voltage of battery by
referring to car owner’s manual and
make sure that output voltage selec-
tor switch is set at correct voltage. If
charger has adjustable charge rate,
charge battery initially at lowest rate.
4. CHARGER LOCATION
4.1 Locate charger as far away from bat-
tery as DC cables permit.
4.2 Never place charger directly above
battery being charged; gases from
battery will corrode and damage
charger.
4.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on
charger when reading electrolyte
specific gravity or filling battery.
4.4 Do not operate charger in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way.
4.5 Do not set a battery on top of charger.
5. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Connect and disconnect DC output
clips only after setting any charger
switches to “off” position and remov-
ing AC cord from electric outlet. Never
allow clips to touch each other.
5.2 Attach clips to battery and chassis,
as indicated in sections 6 and 7.
6. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY:
6.1 Position AC and DC cords to reduce
risk of damage by hood, door, or mov-
ing engine part.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys,
and other parts that can cause injury
to persons.

Page 7
6.3 Check polarity of battery posts. POS-
ITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
6.4 Determine which post of battery is
grounded (connected) to the chas-
sis. If negative post is grounded to
chassis (as in most vehicles), see
(6.5). If positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see (6.6).
6.5 For negative-grounded vehicle, con-
nect 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 carbu-
retor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
6.6 For positive-grounded vehicle, con-
nect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from
battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, –) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to

7.5 Do not face battery when making
final connection.
7.6 When disconnecting charger, always
do so in reverse sequence of con-
necting procedure and break first
connection while as far away from
battery as practical.
7.7 A marine (boat) battery must be
removed and charged on shore. To
charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
8. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
8.1 This battery charger is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounded plug. The charger must be
grounded, to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The plug pins
must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not
use with an ungrounded system.
8.2 Never alter the AC
cord or plug provided – if it does not
fit the outlet, have a proper grounded
outlet installed by a qualified elec-
trician. An improper connection can
result in a risk of an electric shock or
electrocution.
NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regu-
lations, use of an adapter plug is not
allowed in Canada. Use of an adapter
plug in the United States is not rec-
ommended and should not be used.

Page 8
8.3 USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, follow these guide-
lines:
• Pins on plug of extension cord must
be the same number, size, and
shape as those of plug on charger.
• Ensure that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electri-
cal condition.
• Wire size must be large enough for
the AC ampere rating of charger,
as specified:
Length of cord (feet) 25 50 100 150
AWG* size of cord 18 18 16 14
*AWG-American Wire Gauge
9. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 Remove all cord wraps and uncoil
the cables prior to using the battery
charger.
10. CONTROL PANEL

The connections are reversed.
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED lit: The
charger is charging the battery.
CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED flash-
ing: The charger is in abort mode.
CHARGED/MAINTAINING (green) LED
pulsing: The battery is fully charged and
the charger is in maintain mode.
NOTE: See the Operating Instructions
section for a complete description of the
charger modes.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The display will show the battery VOLTAGE
when the charger is not charging a battery.
When it goes into charging mode, the dis-
play will automatically change to ON (to
show charging has started) and then show
the percent-of-charge of the battery being
charged and either 6 or 12 (the voltage of
the battery, determined by the charger). If
you manually stop the charging process
(by pressing the Rate button) before the
battery is fully charged, the display will
show OFF.
NOTE: During charging, the display will
go into sleep mode and will not show the
percentage of charge or voltage of the
battery. To turn the display back on, press
any button.
BATTERY % – The digital display shows
an estimated charge percentage of the
battery connected to the charger’s battery
clamps.
VOLTAGE – The digital display shows the
voltage at the charger battery clamps, in
DC volts.
RATE SELECTION BUTTON
Use this button to select one of the fol-
lowing:
3A MAINTAIN – For charging small bat-
teries, such as those commonly used in
garden tractors, snowmobiles and motor-
cycles. Also used to maintain fully charged
large batteries.
15A RAPID CHARGE – For charging auto-
motive, marine and light truck batteries.
Not intended for industrial applications.
BATTERY TYPE BUTTON
Use this button to set the type of battery.
• STANDARD – Used in cars, trucks and
motorcycles, these batteries have vent
caps and are often marked “low main-
tenance” or “maintenance-free”. This
type of battery is designed to deliver
quick bursts of energy (such as starting
engines) and has a greater plate count.
The plates are thinner and have some-
what different material composition.
Standard batteries should not be used
for deep-cycle applications.

Page 9
• AGM – The Absorbed Glass Mat con-
struction allows the electrolyte to be
suspended in close proximity with
the plate’s active material. In theory,
this enhances both the discharge and
recharge efficiency. The AGM batter-
ies are a variant of Sealed VRLA (valve
regulated lead-acid) batteries. Popular
uses include high-performance engine
starting, power sports, deep-cycle,
solar and storage batteries.
• GEL – The electrolyte in a GEL cell has
a silica additive that causes it to set
up or stiffen. The recharge voltages on
this type of cell are lower than those for
other styles of lead-acid battery. This is
probably the most sensitive cell in terms
of adverse reactions to overvoltage
charging. Gel batteries are best used in
VERY DEEP cycle application and may
last a bit longer in hot weather appli-
cations. If the wrong battery charger is
used on a gel cell battery, poor perfor-
mance and premature failure will result.
11. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
AN EXPLOSION.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the vehicle with
the charger connected to the AC outlet,
or it could damage the charger.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an
auto-start feature. Current will not be
supplied to the battery clamps until a bat-
tery is properly connected. The clamps
will not spark if touched together.

CHARGE RATE
The charger will automatically adjust the
charging current, based on battery size,
in order to charge the battery completely,
efficiently and safely.
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery
and may change, depending on age and con-
dition of battery.

Page 10
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When an Automatic Charge is performed,
the charger switches to the maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger’s output is shut off and the
display will show “bad / bat” and an error
code. Do not continue attempting to charge
this battery. Have it checked or replaced.
DESULFATION MODE
The display will show “SUL” when a sul-
fated battery is detected, and the charger
will go into desulfation mode. If the desul-
fation is not successful after 10 hours, the
charger will go into abort mode. The dis-
play will show “bAd / bAt / F02”.
COMPLETION OF CHARGE
Charge completion is indicated by the
green Charged/Maintaining LED. When lit,
the charger has switched to the maintain
mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE
(FLOAT MODE MONITORING)
When the green Charged/Maintaining LED
is lit, the charger has started maintain
mode. In this mode, the charger keeps
the battery fully charged by delivering a
small current when necessary. If the char-
ger 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 260-9511 maintains both 6 and 12 volt
batteries, keeping them at full charge.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology
allows you to safely charge and maintain
a healthy battery for extended periods of
time. However, problems with the bat-
tery, electrical problems in the vehicle,
improper connections or other unantici-
pated conditions could cause excessive
current draws. As such, occasionally
monitoring your battery and the charging
process is required.
