The Selmar Turbo 4 is a classic manual car battery charger. Because it is a manual unit, it does not automatically stop charging when the battery is full; you must monitor it to prevent overcharging and potential battery damage. Operating Instructions Preparation

Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area to allow gases to disperse. Clean the battery terminals to ensure a good connection.

If the battery has removable caps, check the electrolyte levels and top up with distilled water if necessary (do not overfill). Connecting the Charger

Charger Power: Ensure the charger is unplugged from the wall outlet before connecting the clips. Positive (Red): Connect the red clip to the positive ( ) terminal of the battery.

Negative (Black): Connect the black clip to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery. This helps avoid sparks near any potential battery gases. Charging Plug the charger into the mains power and turn it on.

Monitor the Meter: The Selmar Turbo 4 typically features an ammeter. When you first start, the needle will move to a higher amp reading (near 4 amps). As the battery charges, the needle will slowly drop toward zero.

Completion: Once the needle settles at its lowest point (usually near 0 or 1 amp), the battery is considered charged. Do not leave it connected for an extended period after this point. Disconnecting Turn off and unplug the charger from the wall first. Selmarturbo 4-Battery Charger unit Power cord Four battery

Remove the negative (black) clip followed by the positive (red) clip. Safety Precautions

No Sparks: Never allow the red and black clips to touch while the charger is plugged in.

Placement: Keep the charger as far away from the battery as the cables allow. Never place the charger directly on top of the battery while charging.

Heat: If the battery becomes excessively hot to the touch or starts "boiling" (audible bubbling), turn off the charger immediately.
