1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS –
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
1.1 Keep out of reach of children.
1.2 Do not expose the charger to rain
or snow.

• 3 •
1.3 Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not
recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of re, electric shock or injury to persons or damage
to property.
1.4 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by
the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.5 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of re and
electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of
the charger as specied in section 8.
1.6 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply
turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
1.7 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have the
cord or plug replaced immediately by a qualied service person.
1.8 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualied
service person.
1.9 Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualied service
person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of re or electric shock.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
1.10 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY
OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH
TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
1.11 To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions
and those published by the battery manufacturer and the

the charger is connected to the battery and the connection points
are clean and making a good connection. If the display shows
“WARNING CLAMPS REVERSED”, unplug the charger from the
AC outlet and reverse the connections at the battery.
Charge Completion and Maintain Mode (Float-Mode Monitoring)
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED
turning on and the digital display showing “FULLY CHARGED
AUTO MAINTAINING”. This means that the charger has stopped
charging and has switched to the Maintain Mode of operation.

• 12 •
NOTE: If the charger 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 SP3 is a battery charger/maintainer that maintains both 6 and
12 volt batteries, keeping them at full charge. It can charge small
batteries and maintain both small and large batteries. If you are
maintaining a fully charged large battery, you are properly utilizing
the battery charger. However, if you were to use this battery charger
to charge a large battery, such as a marine deep cycle battery, that
was not fully charged, you may lose some of the battery’s capacity.
This would cause the large battery to be unable to hold a charge
and become useless. Therefore, we do not recommend charging
a large battery with this unit.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology utilized in Schumacher
chargers allows you to safely charge and maintain a healthy
battery for extended periods of time. However, problems with the
battery, electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections
or other unanticipated conditions could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally monitoring your battery and the
charging process is recommended.
Desulfation Mode
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time,
it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge. If the
charger detects a sulfated battery, the charger will switch to a
special mode of operation designed for such batteries. If successful,
normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated.
Desulfation could take up to 8 hours. If desulfation fails, charging
will abort, the yellow LED will blink, and the display will show
“CHARGING ABORTED BAD BATTERY”.
Aborted Charge
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort.
When charging aborts, the charger’s output is shut off, the yellow
LED will blink, and the display will show “CHARGING ABORTED
BAD BATTERY”. To reset after an aborted charge, unplug the
charger from the outlet, wait a few moments and plug it back in.

• Los pasadores en el enchufe del alargador posean el mismo
número, tamaño y forma que aquellos presentes en el enchufe
del cargador.
• El extensión se encuentre correctamente conectado y en
buenas condiciones eléctricas.
• El tamaño del cable sea lo sucientemente extenso para
el amperaje en C.A. del cargador como se especica en la
sección 8.
1.6 Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, desenchufe el
cargador del tomacorriente antes de intentar llevar a cabo
cualquier actividad de mantenimiento o limpieza. El simple
apagado de los controles no reducirá este riesgo.
1.7 No utilice el cargador si el mismo posee un enchufe o cable
dañado; substituya el cable o el enchufe inmediatamente por una
persona calicada en el ramo.
1.8 No utilice el cargador si el mismo recibió un golpe fuerte, si se
cayó o si sufrió daños de cualquier otra forma; hágalo revisar por
una persona capacitada que efectúe reparaciones.
1.9 No desarme el cargador; hágalo revisar por una persona capacitada
que efectúe reparaciones cuando necesite servicio de mantenimiento
o una reparación. Volver a ensamblar el cargador en forma incorrecta
puede provocar riesgo de incendio o descarga eléctrica.
