following guidelines:
• Do not charge near flames or sparks –do not smoke in the area.
• Ensure adequate ventilation during charging.
• Keep the charging area completely clear of combustible materials.
• Do not leave charging batteries unattended for long periods or overnight.
• Do not charge batteries in ambient temperatures exceeding 400C; battery may overheat.
• Store and use indoors only, do not expose to rain or moisture.
• These chargers are designed to charge 6v, 12v or 24v Lead-Acid & AGM batteries with capacities as
detailed in the specification table below. Charge only one battery at a time. Do not use with non-
rechargeable batteries.
• WARNING –GENERAL SAFETY
• NEVER attempt to charge a frozen battery.
• This charger should not be used as a continuous DC power source or for any purposes other than those
listed –any other use will invalidate warranty.
• Ensure that cables are regularly inspected and kept in good condition.
• Never use the appliance if the charger, mains lead, plug, output leads or crocodile clips are worn or
damaged.
• Replacement of the mains cable should only be carried out by the manufacturer. There are no user-
serviceable parts in this product other than the fuse in the mains plug and the fuse in the output lead.
• Locate the charger as far away from the battery being charged as the cables will permit.
• Be sure to position the power cord to prevent it from being stepped on, tripped over or damaged.
• NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged, gases from the battery will corrode and
damage the charger.
• The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended. lf an extension cord must be used ensure that the
capacity of the cable is greater than the rating of the charger
• Always disconnect mains supply before connecting and disconnecting the battery leads.
• Follow instructions for safe use –electrical discharge from batteries can be dangerous.
• Battery electrolyte is acidic and likely to cause burns. The use of safety goggles and gloves when
working with lead acid batteries is strongly advised.
• Remove metal items such as rings, necklaces and watches while working with batteries.
• This appliance is not for use by a person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or medical
capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PREPARATION OF THE BATTERY
Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s handbook for battery maintenance and charging guidelines.
CONNECTION
Check the battery voltage and using the voltage selection switch select the correct output from the
charger; 6v or 12v for MP7108, 12v or 24v for MP7112
Always disconnect the mains supply before making or breaking battery connections. Connect the
battery clips to the battery in the following order:
1. Connect the positive charging lead (RED) to the positive post of the battery (marked +, +ve or P).
2. For vehicles with the battery still installed: connect the negative charging lead (BLACK) to the
vehicle chassis (marked -, -ve or N), well away from the battery, fuel line, hot or moving parts.
For batteries removed from the vehicle: Connect the negative charging lead (BLACK) to the negative
post of the battery (marked -, -ve or N).
After connecting the clips, rotate them slightly so as to remove any dirt or oxidization, thus ensuring
a good contact.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WHEN CHARGING IS COMPLETE
Switch off the mains supply, unplug the charger and disconnect the clips in the following order:
Remove thenegative (BLACK lead) first. Then disconnect the positive (RED lead) from the battery.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Switch off the charger, check that the clips are correctly connected to the battery and making a good contact.
Check the output fuse situated on the positive output lead of the charger (reverse polarity connection will
cause this to blow). The only other user serviceable part is the mains fuse fitted inside the mains plug. The
battery must be in good condition and capable of accepting a charge. Check that the mains supply is
connected, switch “ON” the charger and check that the red “25%”led is illuminated.
