CONDOR DIVISION
Time Manufacturing (Condor Division) warrants to the purchaser that each new aerial work platform made
by Condor Division is free from defects in material and workmanship arising under normal use and servi~
in the case of major weldments, (chassis, turret, and booms), for a period of five (5) years after the original
shipment of the aerial work platform from Condor Division's plant; and in the case of all other parts, for a
period of one (1) year after the aerial work platform is placed in service or two (2) years after the original
shipment of the aerial work platform from Condor Division's plant, whichever comes first.
The obligation and liability under this Warranty is expressly limited to repairing or, at Condor Division's
option, replacing free of charge at its factory in Waco, Texas or at an authorized repair facility designated
by Condor Division, the defective part. In no event shall Condor Division or its suppliers be liable to the
purchaser or any other person for transportation charges or for any incidental, collateral, special, or
consequential damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, loss of customers, loss of
goodwill or work stoppage, claims by any party other than the purchaser, or any other similar damage or loss
even if Condor Division, its suppliers, or its representatives have been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
Parts claimed to be defective and for which repair or replacement is desired shall be returned transportation
prepaid to Condor Division's factory for inspection. This Warranty applies to replacement parts provided
under the terms of this Warranty only for the remainder of the Warranty period applicable to the original
purchase.
Any operation of the equipment beyond rated capacity, improper use or application of the equipment,
substitution upon it of parts not approved by Condor Division or alteration or repair ofthe equipment by any
person not authorized by Condor Division shall, at Condor Division's option, void this Warranty. Condor
Division shall have no liability or responsibility for damages resulting from accident or the malfunction of
equipment and components not supplied by Condor Division.
No agent, employee, distributor, dealer, or other representative of Condor Division is authorized to modify
this Warranty in any way. Accordingly, additional statements or presentations by any such representative,
whether oral or written, do not constitute warranties by Condor Division and should not be relied upon as
limited warranties of Condor Division, and no attempt, effort, or promise to repair equipment by Condor
Division or any such representative at any time shall modify or extend this Warranty in any way. If the
purchaser has used its own order form, no additional or different warranty terms contained in the purchaser's
form will be honored by Condor Division. This Warranty covers only new and unused aerial work platforms
manufactured by Condor Division. Products or parts manufactured by others are covered only by such
warranties as are extended to the purchaser by Condor Division's suppliers.
This Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed orimplied, including but not limited to warranties
of merchantibility and fitness for a particular purpose. Any applicable implied warranty shall be limited in
duration to the warranty period.
WARRANTYPRQGBAM
Condor Division Warranty states, in general, that Condor Division will replace free of charge any
components found to be defective within the time frame ofthe warranty period. There are exceptions to
some components which are not the responsibility of Condor Division. These will be outlined in
subsequent paragraphs.
A. WARRANTY PERIOD
1. The Self-Propelled Boom and Scissor Warranty is one (1) year from placing the
CONDOR® in service or two (2) years following shipment from Condor Division,
whichever comes first. In the case of major weldments (chassis, turret, and booms), the
Warranty Period is five (5) years following shipment from Condor Division.
2. The Truck-Mounted CONDOR® Warranty Period is one (1) year from shipment ofthe
CONDOR® from Calavar's plant.
3. For parts sold through the Parts Department, the Warranty Period is six (6) months from
utilizing the component or placing it in service, or twelve (12) months following
shipment from Condor Division, whichever comes first, unless the part is furnished to
correct a defective part on the original shipment still under Warranty.
4. Replacement parts provided under the terms ofthe Warranty are for the Warranty Period
applicable to the unit in which they were installed as if such parts were original
components of the aerial work platform.
5. During the Warranty Period, in addition to covering the parts replaced under Warranty,
Condor Division will pay a Dealer Warranty Labor Rate which is based on a percentage
of your standard shop labor rate.
NOTE:
The term "IN SERVICE" means that the Warranty starts at the time the CONDOR® is
first used for any purpose. An example: The dealer may have purchased a CONDOR®
to have in stock, but may not use it. After three months, the CONDOR® is sold or the
dealer decides to put the CONDO~® into its rental fleet. In this situation, the Warranty
Period begins the day the dealer puts the CONDOR® into the fleet or when the
CONDOR® is delivered to the end user.
The submittal of a warranty claim against a stock machine constitutes it as being "in
service," initiating the warranty period.
B. PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION SHEET (p.D.I.)
2. It will be the responsibility of the original recipient of the CONDOR® from Condor
Division, whether it will be the dealer or the end user, to complete this form and return
it to Condor Division's facility within 45 days from the date of receipt to set up the
Warranty Account.
3. Failure to complete the P .0.1. sheet and return itto Condor Division within the time frame
given will result in voiding the Warranty on the CONDOR® .
NOTE:
The form must be filled out completely, giving the name of the dealer, address, model
number, serial number, person inspecting the CONDOR® 's, signature, and date of
inspection. (The date of inspection does not constitute the· "In Service" date.)
Some components are used on the CONDOR® which are not warranted by Condor Division.
However, these are warranted by the component manufacturer. Some of these are:
1. Tires and Batteries: These are normal wear items and are considered normal
maintenance items. However, ifthey are found to be defective, contact can be made with
the manufacturer's local dealer.
2. Hvtlraulic Filters and Fluid: These are considered general maintenance and service
items, and are not covered by warranty.
3. Other components: Products or parts manufactured by others are covered only by such
warranties as are extended to Condor Division by its suppliers.
4. Freight and Charges: The warranty does not include any transportation, other charges,
or the cost of installation or any liability for direct, indirect, or consequential damages or
delay resulting from the defect.
5. Travel Time I Mileage: Travel time and the mileage to and from dealer facilities to
CONDOR® location are not covered or reimbursable.
During the Warranty Period, should a component failure be encountered within the guidelines of
the Condor Divison Warranty Policy, the following procedure is to be followed:
1. Upon identifying the defective component, the replacement can be obtained by:
b. You may have previously purchased the part from Condor Division for your
stock and will utilize it for this replacement.
The above two methods will enable you to indicate on the claim the Condor Division
invoice number to substantiate the parts purchase and the amount to be credited.
c. Although not recommended, you may purchase the part locally. When this is
done, a copy of the purchase order or receipt MUST accompany the claim.
Condor Division has the option to ship a replacement part at no charge ifthe local
cost would be greater, in lieu of issuing credit for locally purchased parts.
d. When parts are puchased from Condor Division, part numbers with invoice
numbers MUST be referenced in the appropriate section of the claim form.
2. Complete the Warranty Claim as noted in the "Warranty Claim Procedure" section.
Provide as much information as possible to enable Condor Division to thoroughly
evaluate the claim and process it in the shortest amount oftime possible.
NOTE;
WARRANTY CLAIMS Wll..L NOT BE ACCEPTED BY CONDOR DIVISION
AFTER 45 DAYS AFTER FAILURE
3. Provided no return parts are required and all the information has been verified, the claim
will be processed and credit will be issued against your account.
E. RETURN AUTHORIZATION
2. It will be necessary for you to call the Condor Division Service Department and ask to
be issued a Return Authorization (R/A) number. You will be asked for a Dealer Claim
Number. As noted in Section 2, Item A, ofthe Warranty Claim Procedure, this isanumber
assigned by the dealer for the purpose of tracking the claim, as there may be more than
one claim for the same CONDOR®. The R/A number issued must be logged in the
appropriate section of the claim form, and the gold copy (RIA) of the form must be
returned with the parts being returned.
NOTE:
DO NOT SHIP ANY RETURN PARTS WImOUT
A RETURN AUTHORIZATION (RIA) NUMBER
Doing so may result in parts getting lost in the system and may delay processing the claim,
or may cause denial due to the time element of the claim.
3. All RIA parts must be received at Condor Division within 45 days from the date the RI
A number was issued. Failure to do so will cause the claim to be denied.
4. All parts claimed under Warrrantywill be required to be shipped back to Condor Division
FREIGHT PREPAID. No freight collect shipments will be accepted.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION •
The following is a detailed description of the hydraulic system used on the CONDOR® model
V2033IXL scissor, and how it designed to operate. To assist in understanding the system, this description
should be used in conjunction with the hydraulic schematics found at the end of this section.
GENERAL
The hydraulic system on the CONDOR® model V20331XL consists primarily of a single
manifold assembly, used to control all the hydraulic functions through the use of hydraulic cylinders and
motors. The system is electric over hydraulic, meaning that the hydraulic valve assembly is activated by
electrical signals from the function controls. The system is also of the open-center valve type, meaning

MACIDNE FUNCTIONS
The hydraulic functions of the CONDOR® model V2033IXL includes: forward and reverse
drive with three selectable speeds at limited height, spring applied/hydraulicallyreleased brake cylinders,
left and right steering, and platform raising or lowering. Each of these functions are performed by the
main valve assembly via electrical control signals. A detailed description of the electrical controls and
their circuits can be found in the Electrical System Description of this maintenance section.
DRIVE FUNCTION
The drive function is only available at the platform controls. Movement of the drive control
handle 13° from its center position in either direction will tum the pump motor on and energize the
respective forward/reverse electrical circuit. The forward/reverse electrical circuits consist solely of
the drive controller and the drive directional control valve located on top ofthe main valve assembly (see
FIG. 4).

Pump flow circulates through the main valve assembly and back to tank if no functions are
activated when the pump is running. _Once the directional control valve shifts, fluid is directed to one
of the load control valves in its free-flow direction, and then to the normally open positraction valve.
Fluid flows through the positraction valve cartridge, then to both drive motors which each have an 11.9
cubic inch per revolution displacement and are located on the steer axle. When the positraction button
is depressed at the upper control box, the 4-way normally open positraction valve closes, blocking the
flow of fluid through it, but forcing the fluid through the flow divider/combiner to enhance tire traction.
The deceleration valve is utilized to cushion the braking action of the drive circuit. This is
accomplished by letting fluid by-pass between the two drive motors. Since the deceleration valve is a
2-way normally open spool valve, it allows fluid to flow through it at all times. When the drive control
handle is actuated, energizing the drive circuit, the deceleration valve becomes energized and closes,
blocking the flow of fluid through it. When the drive handle is released (circuit de-energized), the
deceleration valve opens, and lets the drive pressure by-pass to the opposite drive motor, allowing the
two drive motors to continue to roll momentarily without creating a hydrostatic lock in the circuit. A
0.040 dia. orifice, located under the deceleration valve, is used to control the amount of by-pass that
occurs which affects the deceleration of the machine.
The V2033IXL has a creep speed which is either automatically activated at platform heights
above seven feet by a limit switch, or is operator selectable at heights below seven feet. Creep speed is
a situation in the drive circuit whereas when the creep speed solenoid valve is energized, some ofthe drive
flow is diverted back to the tank. The speed at which the machine travels when in creep, is controlled
by the creep speed needle valve (See FIG. 4). The creep speed is factory set to obtain a travel speed of
80-100 sec/88 feet, on firm, level ground; (Ref..75/.6 mph), (see note #2 on schematic at end ofhydraulic
section).

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
NOTES: All pressure adjustments are to be made with the pump motor running, and with the hydraulic
fluid at operating temperature. Ensure that the tank is filled to its recommended level, and that the
batteries are fully charged. To simplify the adjustment procedure, install a pressure gauge at the "01"
port, and install another pressure gauge at the "02" port, which are both located at the creep valve end
of the main valve assembly. All reliefvalves adjust in the same manner: clockwise increases pressure
setting, and counterclockwise decreases pressure setting. All flow control cartridges adjust in the same
manner: clockwise decreases flow, and counterclockwise increases flow. Refer to FlO. 8 for
adjustments.
1. Chock both drive wheels to prevent them from spinning in the forward drive direction.
2. With the drive speed selector in the low position, activate forward drive with the drive controller.
3. While drive is activated, adjust "RVI" to 2700 psi while observing the gauge reading from the
"01" port.·
4. After setting, lock the adjustment screw with the jam nut.
NOTE: The load control valves, "CB 1" and "CB2", are factory set. Ifthey are not functioning properly,
they must be replaced; DO NOT ATTEMPT ADmSTMENT.
1. With pump running, and platform raised completely (cylinder bottomed out), observe the
pressure reading on the gauge connected to the "02" port. Adjust "RV2" to 2700 psi.
2. Adjust "FC}" to obtain a 25-35 second descent from a fully raised position.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the electrical system used on the CONDOR® model
V20331XL scissor, and how it designed to operate. To assist in understanding the system, this description
should be used in conjunction with the electrical schematics found at the end of this section.
GENERAL
The CONDOR® model V20331XL uses a 24 volt direct current (DC) electrical system
consisting of four, 6 volt DC batteries, an electric motor to drive the hydraulic pump, and various
electrical controls to operate the system. Included in this system description is a Machine Options
section, describing options which are available on the model V20331XL. All of the options contained
in this description are electrical only, and do not affect the hydraulic performance of the machine.
BATTERIES
The model V20331XL scissor uses four, 6 volt DC batteries, each having a235 amp hour capacity.
There are two batteries on each side ofthe belly pan nearestthe steer axle. The four batteries are connected
in series, combining their voltage, to make up the 24 volt DC system. The batteries are of the wet-cell
type, and when filled with electrolyte, each battery weighs 66 lbs. More information on batteries in
general can be found in the Battery Service Section beginning on page 47.
BATTERY CHARGER
CIRCUIT BREAKERIFUSE
Located below the control selector switch on the lower control box (see FIG. 11), is a 15 amp
fuse. This circuit fuse protects all the machine control circuits.

FIG. 10
The upper control box, located at the right hand forward comer of the platform, is a fiberglass
enclosure which contains two slip-fit inserts on its underside that allow the box to press onto two pins
which are part of the platform weldment. The control box is removeable by disconnecting the cable
harness plug underneath, and lifting upward on the box assembly. The feature allows for disabling the
machine, storage of the box, or ease of repair to the controls. Some of the controls used are identical to
the those found at the lower control box (See FIG. 12), primarily the emergency stop button and the lift
controls. The platform lift control buttons operate similar to the lower control pushbuttons. However,
at this control box, the green "POWER" pushbutton must be depressed to supply power to either the raise
or lower lift button. To provide electrical power to the upper control box, both emergency stop buttons
must be in the "out" position, the control selector switch must be in the "UPPER" position.

Integrated in the forward edge ofthe drive handle is a grip lever which is a substitute for the foot
switch commonly used on other machines. The grip lever must be squeezed to perform drive (movement
of the handle), or steer (activation of the rocker switch) functions. This lever, however, does not affect
the lift controls. Movement of the drive handle 13° in either direction will turn the pump motor on, and
energize the drive directional control valve, thus initiating drive motion. Drive speeds are selectable
from the drive speed selector switch. Selecting "fast" will energize the select directional control valve
and increase drive speed by adding the second pump's flow to the drive hydraulic circuit. Selecting "low"
will de-energize the select valve, and drive speed will then rely on the single pump output. Pressing the
black positraction button energizes the positraction valve in the main manifold assembly, thus forcing
hydraulic flow through the flow divider/combiner. When in "fast" or "low", the creep valve is always
energized because it is a normally open valve. When "creep" speed is selected, or when the platform is
above six to seven feet, it is de-energized, thereby letting fluid by-pass to tank through an adjustable
needle valve.

MACHINE OPTIONS DESCRIPTION
The following descriptions are intended to be used with wiring diagrams at the end of this
electrical section.
This option is to indicate that the machine is on or ready to operate. The strobe has: a plug-in
flash tube for easy replacement, an energy output of2 joules, a power output of 3 watts, and a flash rate
of 60 + 10 flashes per minute. The strobe is energized whenever the control selector switch is in the
"UPPER" or "LOWER" position and the lower control emergency stop button is pulled out.
This option sounds an alarm when the V20331XL is 5° or more outoflevel. A 5° omni-directional
sensor is mounted in the belly pan to sense a 5° out-of-Ievel condition. In this situation, a fast pulse/loud
tone alarm at the upper control box (See FIG. 13), is activated until the machine is returned to a less than
5° condition. This serves as a warning, and does not inhibit any functions. The sensor is mounted on a
spring loaded base which is adjustable to allow leveling. Testing of the system is accomplished by
manually tilting the sensor against its spring tension mount, to physically put the sensor in a 5° out-of-
level condition, causing the alarm to sound. Power is supplied to the sensor, and the alarm, only when
the machine is in the "UPPER" control position. When the sensor is activated (5° or greater), the sensor's
white wire (connected to the alarm), becomes grounded after a few second delay, through circuits inside
the sensor.
FIG. 13
This option consists of a 133 db automotive type horn mounted in the chassis, and a white
pushbutton on the side ofthe upper control box (See FIG. 14). The horn is only operable when the control
selector switch is in the "UPPER" position.

• LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY
PROTECTION SYSTEM (OPTION)
This option indicates forward or reverse drive (travel) of the machine. The alarm signal is
activated by the deceleration valve circuit since the deceleration valve is always energized during both
forward and reverse drive.
This option indicates descent (lowering) of the platform. The alarm signal is activated by the
holding valve circuit, which is energized when lowering the platform.
This option indicates forward or reverse drive, and raising or lowering ofthe platform. The alarm
signal is activated from two different circuits; one energizes the pump motor contactor, and the other
energizes the holding valve for platform lowering (pump not running). A diode is used in each circuit
to prevent unintended feedback.
This option is to record the "run time" of the machine for maintenance scheduling, rental usage,
etc.. The meter runs only when the pump motor contactor is energized (pump running); therefore, the
meter does not run when the machine is sitting idle, or when the platform is being lowered.

BATTERY SERVICE
BATTERY SERVICING TOOLS
Use proper tools when performing battery service to prevent damage to battery, cables, terminals
and hold-downs, and to save time and energy.
FILLING DEVICES
One of the most important routine battery service for conventional batteries is to maintain the
correct electrolyte level. Two devices are available for this purpose, a self-leveling filler which fills the
battery to a predetermined level automatically, and the syringe type. Battery cells should never be filled
above the level indicator. Do not squeeze the syringe so hard that the water splashes acid from the
cell opening.
The scraper and wire brush can be used for removing dirt, corrosion and rust from various parts
such as the battery posts, battery tray, the hold-down and the hold-down bolts.
BATTERY CARRIER
A battery carrier should not place any undue strain on the battery terminals or the container. An
excellent carrier for plastic cased batteries is a clamp ("ice tong") typecarrierwithrubberpadswhichgrip
the SIDE WALLS of the container just below the lip ofthe cover. It is used on the side walls rather than
the end walls, since the side walls have additional strength from the inner cell partitions. Gripping the
flexible end walls of plastic containers could cause electrolyte to spew from some of the cells.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
The user should realize that the battery is a perishable item and requires periodic attention. With a
reasonable amount of care, the life of the battery can be appreciably extended. Neglect and abuse will
invariably cause shorter life.
CAUTION
Low battery voltage (discharged) requires highercurrentdrawto do the same
work. This high current draw WILL DAMAGE the electric motor, relay
contacts and the batteries. DO NOT OPERATE the CONDOR® with a
battery DISCHARGED or that has a specific gravity of 1.130 or LESS.
First, make a visual inspection for defective cables, loose connections, corrosion, cracked cases
or covers, loose hold-downs and deformed or loose terminal posts. Ifany parts such as cables, hold-downs
or the battery appear to be unserviceable, it is recommended that they be replaced.
When there is corrosion on the terminal posts or hold-down, the tray or hold-down parts are rusty,
or the battery is very dirty, it is recommended that time be taken to clean the parts. A wire brush can be .
used to remove dirt, corrosion or rust from parts. Clean dirt from the battery top with a cloth wetted with
ammonia or baking soda in water.
MANUAL 923S()'oo2
JANUARY 1997
SIN X93S-970S I
Next, wipe with a cloth with clear water. After rust is removed from a part with a wire brush,
rinse with clear water, dry and paint with an acid-resistant paint.
If corrosion is found on the terminal posts, remove the cable terminals from the battery (ground
cable first), using the proper end wrench. A wire cleaning brush can be used to clean the posts and the
mating surfaces ofthe cable clamps. Connect the cables to the terminal posts (ground cable last). Coat
the terminal connections with a spray corrosion inhibitor or high temperature grease.
The second item in routine servicing of conventional batteries is to check the electrolyte level in
all cells. Ifnecessary, add clear, odorless, mineral free water to bring the liquid level to the level indicator
in all cells. If the battery does not have a level indicator, bring the level to 112" (l3mm) above the tops
of the separators. Do not overfill any cell. When a cell is overfilled, the excess electrolyte may be
forced from the cell by the gas formed in the battery. This will cause excessive corrosion of adjacent
metal parts, reduced performance and shorter life.
BATTERY TESTING
Battery testing should be considered an integral part of periodic equipment maintenance and should be
performed whether or not a starting problem has occurred. Servicing the battery in the equipment as
described will help prevent premature battery failure from external causes and periodic battery failure
from both external and internal causes or merely from the battery reaching the end of its useful life.
For protection, wear a face shield. First, visually inspect the battery. Check for container,
cover or terminal damage that might cause leakage of electrolyte or internal damage. If serious damage
is found, replace the battery. Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If below the tops of the plates in
any cells, fill all cells with water to just above the tops ofthe separators and charge for 15 minutes at 15-
25 amps to mix the water with the electrolyte. If electrolyte levels are above the tops of the plates,
continue to Step 2.
Using the hydrometer, measure and record the specific gravity (sp. gr.), corrected to 80 degrees
F (26.7 C) ofthe electrolyte in each cell. Ifthe range (highest-lowest) is 50 points (0.050 sp. gr.) or greater
orthe lowest is less than 1.225 sp.gr., charge the battery atthe recommended rate or until all cells are 1.225
sp.gr. or greater and the range is less than 50 points. If no amount of charging will achieve these
DANGER
Lead acid batteries generate highly explosive hydrogen gas especially during the
charging cycle. To AVOID the possibility of an explosion, charge batteries ONLY
in a well VENTILATED AREA. Keep fire, sparks, and burning material away from
the charging area. Do Not smoke near a battery, and always shield the eyes when
working near a battery.
MANUAl.. 92350-002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X93S-970S1
The average state ofcharge ofthe cells in a battery can be determined by measuring the stabilized.
voltage of the battery. The voltage is stabilized if the battery has been on open circuit overnight or for
a period of several hours. A voltage reading of 12.4 (6.2 on a 6 volt battery) is equivalent to a specific
gravity of 1.225. The disadvantage of measuring the open circuit voltage is that a lower voltage cell can
be masked by the remaining cells. Ifthe cell connectors are accessible for voltage measurements, a range
of 0.05 volts between the highest and lowest cells corresponds to a 50 point variation in specific gravity.
A cell voltage of 2.07 is equivalent to a specific gravity of 1.225.
The following instructions are intended as guidelines. When available, the instrument
manufacturer's instructions should be followed. Follow all precautions.
C. Connect voltmeter and load test leads to appropriate battery terminals, make certain
terminals are free of corrosion.
E. Apply test load equivalent to 50% of Cranking Performance rating of battery for 15
seconds. If Cranking Performance is unavailable, use 3 times the 20 ampere-hour
capacity.
For testing batteries with a fixed load tester and an open circuit voltmeter, refer to "Battery Testing Chart"
Figure Y.
First, visually inspect the battery and checkthe electrolyte levels as described in Step 1 of"Testing
with Adjustable Load Tester and Hydrometer"; take the same corrective actions. Continue to Step 2.
MANUAL 92350-002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X935-9705 I
. S T E P 2 -FIXED LOAD TEST
Some commercial battery testers do not have an adjustable load but measure the battery voltage
under a heavy fixed load. The tester should include a selector switch or meter scale to choose among a
variety of battery sizes. It should include some means of correcting for the battery temperature, either
in automatic sensing circuit or a manually selectable one.
The following instructions are intended as guidelines. When available, the instrument manufac-
turers instructions should be followed.
B. Measure temperature of a center cell and set temperature dial on tester or insert
automatic temperature corrector probe in center cell. Cover battery with a damp cloth.
C. Set battery size selector to a range or select range on meter which will include 50%
ofthe Cranking Performance rating or 3 times to 20 ampere-hour capacity ofthe battery.
D. Connect voltmeter and load test leads to appropriate battery terminals, make certain
terminals are free of corrosion.
F. Read battery performance from instrument meter at 15 seconds, then remove the load.
If the battery failed the load test, the state of charge must be checked. If a hydrometer is not
available, the stabilized open circuit voltage can be used to indicate the state of charge. Allow at least
10 minutes after the load test for the voltage to stabilize, then measure and record the open circuit voltage..
Determine the approximate state ofcharge from the following chart (Battery temperature 60-100 degrees
F.)
The change of voltage with state of charge is small and must be measured accurately using a
digital meter or an analog meter with an expanded scale. If the state of charge is 75% or greater and the
battery failed the load test, it should be replaced. Ifthe state of charge is less than 75%, the battery should
be charged at the recommended rate and time, and the load test repeated. If the battery passes the load
test, return it to service. If it fails the load test again, replace it and refer to the next chapter to determine
the cause offailure.
MANUAL 92350-002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X93S-97051
DETERMINING CAUSES OF BATTERY !AllJURE
Whether the battery passes or fails either of the above tests, the results must be believed. If the battery
passed the load test only after a recharge, the cause of the discharge condition should be determined.
Ifthe battery has been returned previously or is otherwise still questionable, one final test should be made.
Fully charge the battery and place it on open circuit stand for three days. If the loss in specific gravity
of any cell is greater than 35 points or the open circuit voltage drops by more than 0.20 volts, replace the
battery. If not, return the battery to service and determine the cause for the discharged condition.
The following should be checked:
A corrosion layer between the battery terminals and the cable connectors can prevent good
electrical contact even when the connectors are tight. The cables should always be removed
before testing a battery and any corrosion cleaned from the terminals.
There may be a fault in the equipment's electrical system that can discharge the battery even when
all the accessories are turned off. To check for such leakage, turn off all accessories in the equipment.
Check for leakage using one of the following methods.
A. Ammeter - Cover battery with a damp cloth. Disconnect the ground cable. Using a DC
ammeter with a resolution of at least 0.1 amp, measure the current between the
disconnected cable and the battery terminal. (DO NOT CONNECT AMMETER
ACROSS BATTERY TERMINALS!) A leakage current measurement of 0.1 amp or
more indicates the equipment electrical system should be tested and repaired.
C. Voltmeter - Disconnect the ground cable (negative) at the battery. Connect a low
resistance voltmeter (100 ohms - see Note 1) between the disconnected battery post
and the chassis. A voltage measurement of 6 volts or more indicates a leak of 0.1 amp
or more and the equipment electrical system should be tested and repaired.
Note 1: The voltmeter test cannot be made with high resistance voltmeters.
3. Charging System
To complete the determination of the cause for the battery's discharged condition, check the
equipment's charging system.

Inspection also includes items requiring attention at 500 hours or yearly which, are indicated where applicable.
The time interval of 50 hours applies to normal operation under normal conditions. Should the unit be subjected
to extensive use or abnormal environmental conditions, the inspections should be made more frequently. Condor
Div. recommends that a maintenance log be maintained, and that abnormal conditions of any kind be recorded.
To help assist in starting a maintenance log, there are inspection checklists included after each inspection list.
These are intended to be used with the field inspection lists to help gain familiarity with the repetitive tasks.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
To be able to use the troubleshooting guide effectively, it is important to read this guide
completely before beginning any tests.
II
. REPAIRS BY QUALIFIED
CA1fDONPERSONNEL ONLY. I
NOTE: Modifying this charger for use other than that for which it was intended, repairs by persons
not qualified, or not using original equipment replacement parts will void the warranty and Lester
liability.
CAUTION
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE CHARGER. TAKE IT TO A
QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN WHEN SERVICE OR REPAIR IS
REQUIRED. Incorrect assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
In nonnal operation the charger DC output must be connected to the batteries in order to turn the
charger on. A time delay of2 to 5 seconds is provided to allow adequate time to make a secure connection
before the charger turns on. After this time delay the power relay closes and an audible "click" should
be heard. When the relay closes, AC power is supplied to the transformer primary coil. If operating
properly, the transfonner should hum and the ammeter should indicate the charge rate. If the charger
does not turn on properly, refer to Part A, B, or C for specific test procedures.
WARNING
Do not operate the charger if it is malfunctioning. Personal injury or
property damage could result.
MANUAL 923S()'oo2

• PART A-RELAY DOES NOT CLOSE,NO TRANSFORMER HUM AND AMMETER
DOES NOT REGISTER.
Check to be sure the power supply cord is securely connected to a live outlet. Check the
DC output connector and the battery connector for damage, dirt or corrosion that would prevent a
good electrical connection.
WARNING
If the plug or receptacle is broken, twisted, bent or loose and does not make
good electrical contact, have it replaced by a qualified serviceman immediately.
DO NOT USE THE CHARGER IN THIS CONDITION AS FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
Disconnect the power supply cord from its outlet. With the DC output connector still connected
to the battery connector, measure the voltage at the battery connector using a suitable DC voltmeter. The
voltage reading should be the same as the battery terminal voltage and must be between 24 and 50 volts
DC in order to close the relay. If the DC voltage is within the above limits, remove the charger cover and
verify that the charger is properly wired and you read the same voltage (24 to 50 volts DC) inside the
charger where the white and black wires ofthe DC cord attach. Ifthe battery DC voltage measured inside
the charger is now below the above limits or not present, the DC plug or cordset has an internal break and
must be replaced. Ifthe charger is wired correctly and a satisfactory battery DC voltage is measured inside
the charger, a malfunction in the Electronic Timer Kit has probably occurred. Due to its complexity, do
not attempt to make field repairs to any part of the Electronic Timer Kit. If a malfunction exists, simply
remove the entire Electronic Timer Kit and replace it with a new one. Refer to Part D - "Electronic Timer
Kit Replacement" - for correct procedure.
CAUTION
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORDS FROM THE AC
OUTLET AND THE BATTERIES BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
REPAIRS TO THE CHARGER.
The Electronic Timer Kit may be bypassed in order to verify that a malfunction exists. First
disconnect the charger power supply cord from its outlet and the DC output from the battery. Place a
jumper wire between terminals #1 and #3 to bypass the Electronic Timer Kit.
The power supply cord is now connected directly to the primary transformer coil and the
transformer should hum when the power supply cord is connected to a live outlet. The charger operation
may be checked by first connecting the DC output connector to the battery connector, and then connecting
the power supply cord to an outlet. If normal charging current is indicated on the ammeter the Electronic
Timer Kit is defective and must be replaced.
MANUAL 92350.002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X935-97051
CAUTION
DO NOT charge batteries with the Electronic Timer Kit bypassed. The charger
will remain on as long as the power supply cord is connected to an outlet.
•
Severe overcharging and eventual damage to batteries will result.
If the transformer does not hum and the ammeter still does not register with the Electronic Timer
Kit by-passed, a continuity check of the charger AC circuit is necessary. Disconnect the power supply
from its outlet and the DC output connector from the battery connector and, with a suitable continuity
tester, check the circuit across the power supply cord prongs. With the Electronic Timer Kit bypassed, the
CIRCUIT SHOULD BE COMPLETE. If the circuit is not complete, individually check the continuity of
the power supply cord, primary transformer coil and all connections.
PART B - RELAY CLOSES BUT NO TRANSFORMER HUM AND AMMETER DOES NOT
REGISTER
Check to be sure the power supply cord is securely connected to a live AC outlet. When three-prong
to two-prong adapters are used, they tend to work loose resulting in a poor connection. Check the AC line fuse
or circuit breaker and, if possible, measure the AC line voltage at the outlet to be sure AC power is present.
If necessary, connect a functioning charger, utility light or other electrical appliance to the outlet to verify the
presence of AC power.
IfAC power is present, disconnect the power supply cord"from its outlet and the DC output connector
from the battery connector. By-pass the Electronic Timer Kit as described in Section '1, Part A, and with a
suitable continuity tester check the circuit across the power supply cord prongs. With the Electronic Timer
Kit bypassed, the CIRCUIT SHOULD BE COMPLETE. Ifthe circuit is complete, refer to the wiring diagram
and check the relay wiring and all connections. If the circuit is not complete, check the wiring of the power
supply cord, transformer primary coil leads and the Electronic Timer Kit. If the charger is wired correctly,
individually check the continuity of the power supply cord, transformer primary coil and relay.
PART C-RELAY CLOSES AND TRANSFORMER HUMS BUT AMMETER DOES-NOT REGIS-
TER
If the relay closes and the transformer hums, the charger AC circuit and Electronic Timer Kit are
functioning properly. Ifthe ammeter does not register, a fault in the charger DC circuit exists and a continuity
check must be performed. Disconnect the power supply cord from its outlet and the DC output connector from
the battery connector, and check the charger fuse. If a fuse link is blown, refer to Section 2 - "Charger Fuse
Blows" for further tests. If the fuse checks good: use a low voltage continuity tester to perform the following
tests:
1. Connect the tester leads to the charger I?C output connector and note the reading. Reverse the tester leads
and check the output connector again. The circuit should be complete in only one direction. Ifthe circuit does
not conduct in either direction and the fuse is good, individually check the continuity ofthe DC output cord,
ammeter, diodes and all connections. Ifthe circuit conducts in both directions, a "short" exists in the charger
DC circuit. First check the DC output cord for a "short" between the two wires. It is more likely that one or
both diodes have "shorted." Refer to Section 2 -"Charger Fuse Blows" for continuity test of diodes.

• 2. Ifthe charger DC circuittest is good, a check ofthe capacitoris necessary. Disconnect the power supply
cord from its outlet and the DC output connector from the battery connector. Then disConnect
both transformer coil leads from the capacitor terminals. Use care when disconnecting the capacitor
leads so the wires do not break. Using an ohmmeter, set the scale to R X 10K ohms and test the capacitor as
follows:
I
DANGER
mGH VOLTAGE: With the charger operating, the charger capacitor voltage is
approximately 650 volts AC. Use extreme caution when working near the capacitor terminals
GOOD CAPACITOR-When the ohmmeter leads are connected to the capacitor terminals, the meter needle
jumps to mid-scale and rapidly moves to high resistance.
OPEN CAPACITOR- When the ohmmeter leads are connected to the capacitor terminals, the meter needle
does not move and stays at high resistance. A bulge in the top ofthe capacitor may be visible if the capacitor
has failed "Open."
SHORTED CAPACITOR - When the ohmmeter leads are connected to the capacitor terminals, the
meter needle jumps immediately to zero ohms and remains there.lfthe capacitor is open or shorted, it
must be replaced.
CAUTION
Use only a 6 Mfd, 660 volt AC rated capacitor for replacement (part No. 02390S).
The use of a different value capacitor may result in improper charging, capacitor
failure, transformer burnout and/or battery damage.
3. If the charger DC circuit and capacitor check good, a test of the transformer is necessary. Refer to
Section 7 - "Transformer Short or Burnout" or test procedures.
The Electronic Timer Kit should always be replaced as a complete assembly.. The tools required
are: a Phillips head screwdriver, 3/8" and 11132" wrenches, and pliers. No soldering is required. To
replace the kit, follow the step-by-step procedures listed below.
1. Disconnect the charger power supply cord from its outlet and the DC output connector from the
battery connector and remove the charger cover.
2. Disconnect the green, black and red wires of the Electronic Timer Kit. Then remove the black and
white leads of the power supply cord and both primary transformer coil leads from the Electronic Timer
Kit terminal tabs. The Kit can be removed by removing the three mounting screws on the charger front
panel. Save all hardware for reassembly.
3. Install the replacement Electronic Timer Kit by reversing the disassembly procedures
described in Step 2. When reconnecting the wires to the Electronic Timer Kit terminal tabs, support the
terminal board to prevent damage to the electronic circuit board. Connect either transformer primary lead
to terminal #2 and the remaining primary I lead to terminal #3.

Connect the black lead of the power supply cord to terminal # 1 on the Electronic Timer Kit
and the white lead of the power supply cord to terminal #2.
Connect the red wire of the Electronic Timer Kit along with the white lead of the DC cord to
the Heat Sink Assembly. Connect the black wire of the Electronic Timer Kit along with the black lead of
•
the DC cord to the ammeter post. Do not allow the ammeter post to turn when tightening the nut. Recon-
nect the green wire of the Electronic Timer Kit along with the transformer secondary lead to the diode
lead terminal.
CAUTION
Be sure all connections are clean and tight. Also check to be sure all wires
and terminals are positioned so they do not short together or to the charger case.
4. Replace the charger cover and check the Electronic Timer Kit for proper operation as follows:
A. With the DC output connector disconnected from the battery connector, insert the power
supply cord into an outlet. The relay on the Electronic Timer Kit should not close. A DC
voltmeter co~ected across the DC output connector should indicate zero volts.
B. Disconnect the power supply cord from its outlet and connect the DC output connector to the
battery connector. The relay on the Electronic Timer Kit should close with an audible "click"
after a two to five second delay.
C. If the Electronic Timer Kit does not operate as (a) and (b) above, refer to the wiring diagram
and check to be sure the charger is wired correctly. If the Electronic Timer Kit operates
properly, the charger is ready for use. Always monitor the first charge cycle to verify that
the charger is turning off properly.
DANGER
Lead acid batteries generate highly explosive hydrogen gas especially
during the charging cycle. To AVOID the possibility of an explosion,
charge batteries ONLY in a well VENTILATED AREA. Keep fire, sparks
and burning material away from the charging area. Do Not smoke near a
battery, and always shield the eyes when working near a battery.
The charger fuse assembly consists of a dual element fuse link under a transparent cover mounted
on the charger front panel. Each fuse· element is electrically connected in series with a rectifier diode to
provide protection for the transformer in the event of a diode failure. Visually inspect and electrically
test the fuse to determine ifone or both fuse links are blown and refer to Part A or PartB for test procedures.
LOCATE AND CORRECT CAUSE OF TROUBLE BEFORE REPLACING BLOWN FUSE. DO
NOT attempt to repair the fuse link as inadequate protection will result.
MANUAL 92350-002

SIN X935-910S I
PART A - SINGLE FUSE LINK BLOWS
This condition is normally caused by a short circuit failure of one diode. The fuse link will blow
when the charger DC output connector is connected to the battery connector, regardless of whether the
power supply cord is connected to an outlet. To check the diodes, disconnect the power supply cord from
its outlet and the DC output connector from the battery connector, and then disconnect one transformer
secondary coil lead from the diode terminal. Using a low voltage continuity tester, connect one tester lead
to the diode mounting plate and the other tester lead to a diode terminal.
Note the reading and then reverse the tester leads and check each diode again. Ifa diode conducts
current in both directions, it is "shorted" and the complete Heat Sink Assembly with Diodes (part No.
09653S) must be replaced.
On rare occasions a single fuse link may melt due to excessive heat. This can be caused by a loose
internal fuse connection. Check all three fuse connections inside the charger to be sure they are clean and
tight. The proper torque on the fuse connector nuts is 20 Inch-Pounds (23 Cm-Kg).
This is normally caused by a reverse polarity connection between the charger DC output
connector and the battery connector. Check the battery pack and battery connector to be sure they are
wired in the correct polarity. If possible, check the voltage and polarity at the battery connector with a
DC voltmeter. Also, check the charger DC output connector for the correct polarity. The white wire
should be connected to the positive (+) contact, and the black wire to the negative (..) contact. If a reverse
polarity connection is made between the charger and batteries, both fuse links will blow, regardless of
whether the power supply cord is connected to an outlet. .
Another cause for both fuse links blowing is the short circuit failure of both diodes. Although this is rare,
it may occur as the result of a lightning strike at the charging location. Excessive heat due to a loose
connection may also cause both fuse links to melt. Refer to Part A - "Single Fuse Link Blows" for
troubleshooting procedures.
MANUAL 923S0-002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X93S·970S1
SECTION 3 - AMMETER READS 30 AMPS FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES
This high output condition is caused by misuse, connecting the charger to an incorrect battery
system which is lower than 24 volts. A common error is to install one or more of the 6 volt batteries in
a 24 volt battery pack reverse polarity. Using a suitable DC voltmeter, test to be sure all batteries in a
battery pack are correctly wired and also test the battery pack voltage at the charging connector. After
charging for 30 minutes at this excessive rate, the measured on charge voltage should rise to 22 to 26 volts
DC for a 24 volt system. Voltage measurements, while charging, lower than this indicate an incorrect
or failed battery pack that must be corrected before using the charger.
CAUTION
DO NOT connect the charger to battery packs which are not 24 volt
systems.This misuse will cause overheating and transformer burnout
will result.
The most probable cause of low output is a single fuse link blowing as the result of a short circuit
failure of one diode. Refer to Section 2 - "Charger Fuse Blows" for troubleshooting procedures. On rare
occasions a short circuit failure ofthe transformer coils may cause the output to be low. Refer to section
7 - "Transformer Short or Bum Out" for test procedures.
CAUTION
Do not use the charger if the output is low. Batteries will not reach
full charge, thereby increasing the possibility of a harmful deep
discharge during their next use.
The Electronic Timer Kit turns the charger off as well as on. Proper charge time is determined by
many factors, but the main elements are: (1) battery size, (2) depth of battery discharge and (3) finish
charge rate. Large severely discharged batteries require more time to reach full charge than do smaller
lightly discharged batteries.
The charge rate, as indicated by current flow in amperes on the panel meter, is controlled by the
batteries' rising voltage during charge. The higher the on charge voltage will rise, the lower the finish
charge will be before the Electronic Timer terminates charging.
The following timer malfunctions are occasionally due to factors other than the charger's
performance. To help isolate the problem, it is often necessary to use the charger on a different set of
batteries and the original set of batteries on another charger.

• PART A - CHARGER TURNS OFF TOO SOON
Check to be sure the power supply cord is securely connected to a live outlet. If the power supply
outlet is live, proceed with the next step.
To determine if the charger did shut off too soon, disconnect and reconnect the charger DC output
connector. This will restart the charger. Observe charger output on the ammeter.
1. The ammeter needle jumps smartly to between 20 and 25 amps and then tapers below 14 amps
within 15 minutes. This indicates that the batteries were truly charged. The apparent short charging time
is in response to the batteries' ability to accept charge and the electronic timer is performing properly.
2. The ammeter needle jumps smartly to between 20 and 25 amps, but does not taper below 14 amps
within 15 minutes. If the batteries have been properly maintained and charged regularly, this generally
indicates that the batteries were not fully charged. If possible, use a hydrometer to check the specific
gravity of several battery cells. If the specific gravity readings are more than 30 points (.030) lower than
normal full charge readings, the electronic timer has malfunctioned and the complete Electronic Timer
Kit must be replaced. Refer to Section 1, Part D - "Electronic Timer Kit Replacement" for correct
procedures.
Ifthe batteries have not been used or charged regularly, they may be sulfated and will not produce
their full capacity. Repeated cycles (at least 5) of a light discharge followed by a full charge will generally
result in the recovery of most of the battery's capacity. Do not interpret this reduced battery capacity as
being caused by the charger turning offtoo soon. The charger is working properly if, after several charge
cycles, the battery capacity increases to near normal. Sulfation occurs most often when the batteries have
been stored without weekly charging. New batteries may also be sulfated due to extended shipment or
storage time prior to sale.
As batteries age, individual cells may weaken, causing a reduction in battery capacity. This
condition normally results in a finish charge higher than 10 Amps and less time is required to fully charge
the batteries. Do not interput this shorter charging time and reduced battery capacity as being caused by
the charger turning offtoo soon. The battery is aging naturally and the charger is working properly . When
the batteries will no longer perform as required, they should be replaced.
New batteries with all good cells should rise to at least 2.5 volts per cell. This will allow the finish
charge rate to taper below 8 amperes. As batteries age, individual cells may weaken and these cells may
not reach 2.5 volts. This will result in finish charge rates greater than 8 amperes, and less time will be
required for the batteries to reach full charge. At a finish charge rate of8 amperes or less the charge time
should not exceed 18 hours. At a finish charge rate greater than 8 amperes the charge time should not
exceed 14 hours.
Ifthe charger remains on longer than the specified maximum time, check to see ifthe charger turns
on immediately when the DC output cord is connected without the normal two to five second delay. If
the charger turns on instantly without the two to five second delay the Electronic Timer Kit has probably
failed. This type of malfunction generally results in the charger not turning off and the complete
Electronic Timer Kit must be replaced. Refer to Section 1, Part D - "Electronic Timer Kit Replacement"
for correct procedures.
MANUAL 92350-002
JANUARY 1997
SIN X93S·970S I
Ifthe charger remains on longer than the maximum time specified and the two to five second delay
•
is present, verify that the green wire from the Electronic Timer Kit and the secondary transformer coil lead
are securely connected to the diode lead as shown. The charger will NOT tum offifthe green wire is loose
or disconnected. Ifthe green wire is securely connected, the Electronic Timer has malfunctioned and the
complete Electronic Timer Kit must be replaced.
If a precision digital type DC voltmeter is available, a test to verify that the Electronic Timer has
malfunctioned can be made. Connect the charger to the batteries and allow to charge normally. After the
charge rate has tapered to its lowest point, measure the battery terminal voltage using a DC voltmeter
capable of reading in increments of .00 1 volts. Continue charging and check the battery voltage reading
every hour. lithe battery voltage increases less than .012 volts, or ifthe battery voltage decreases between
successive hourly readings, the charger should turn off. If the charger does not tum off, the Electronic
Timer has malfunctioned and the complete Electronic Timer Kit must be replaced.
In the event ofAC power interruption when the charger is on, the charger will automatically restart
when AC power is restored. This power outage can make the apparent charge time seem longer than the
actual charge time. To check for AC power interruptions, plug an electric clock into the same outlet to
which the AC cord is connected. Charge normally and note any time difference between the test clock
time and the actual time.
Ifthis occurs when the charger power supply cord is connected to an outlet, without the DC output
connector connected to the battery connector, the charger power supply cord may be shorted. Disconnect
the power supply cord from its outlet and the DC output connector from the battery connector, then check
to be sure the Electronic Timer Kit is NOT bypassed. With a suitable continuitY tester, check the circuit
across the power supply cord prongs as shown. THE CIRCUIT SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETE. Ifthe
circuit is complete, check the relay contacts to be sure they are open and have not welded closed. If the
relay contacts are open, the power supply cord is shorted and must be replaced. Ifthe power supply checks
good, the transformer coils may be shorted. Refer to Section 7 - "Transformer Short or Burnout" for test
procedures.
Failure of the transformer can be the result of natural aging, premature shorting of adjacent coil
turns or overheating damage. The most common cause oftransformer overheating and premature burnout
is the result of misuse, connecting the charger to a battery system of lower voltage than specified on the
charger (See Section 3). Darkening of all the transformer secondary coil windings is an indication of
possible overheating damage. A low or complete lack of output would be observed on the ammeter,
however, the transformer may hum or the AC line fuse or circuit breaker may blow when the charger is
turned on. To test the transformer, disconnect the power supply cored from its outlet and the DC output
connector from the battery connector. Then disconnect the transformer secondary coil leads # 1 and #4
from the diodeterminals and disconnect the transformer capacitor coil leads from the capacitorterminals.
Use care when disconnecting the capacitor lead so the wires do not break.

DANGER
IDGH VOLTAGE: With the charger operating, the charger capacitor voltage is
approximately 650 volts AC. Use extreme caution when working near the capacitor
terminals.
In order to apply AC power directly to the transformer primary coil, the Electronic Timer Kit must
be bypassed. Refer to Section I, Part A for by-pass procedures. With the Electronic Timer Kit bypassed
take caution in connecting the power supply cord to an outlet. Ifthe AC line fuse or circuit breaker blows,
the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced. If this does not occur, check the transformer
secondary and capacitor coil voltages as shown in Figure 6, using a suitable AC voltmeter. Ifthemeasured
voltages are substantially lower than those shown, the transformer is shorted" internally and must be
replaced.
If the transformer secondary coil voltage and capacitor coil voltage check good, disconnect the
power supply cord from its outlet. Check the capacitor to be sure its rating is 6 Mfd. 660 volts AC, and
then carefully reconnect the capacitor coil leads to the capacitor terminals. Then, take caution when
reconnecting the power supply cord to an outlet and measure the transformer secondary voltage again.
The correct voltage reading is shown in Figure 7. Ifthe transformer secondary voltage reading is the same
as measured with the capacitor disconnected, from Figure 6, the capacitor may be open, the capacitor coil
may be open or the capacitor coil terminals may not be making proper electrical contact. Refer to Section
I, Part C, Item 2 for capacitor test procedures. If the voltage readings are correct, both the transformer
and capacitor are good, refer to Section 1, Part C, Item 1 for further tests of the DC circuit.
If it should become necessary to replace a terminal on one of the transformer leads, the new
terminal must be crimped AND soldered. NOTE: Some transformer leads may be aluminum wire and
a solder must be used on these wires that is intended for use on aluminum, such as Alcoa #807 solder with
Alcoa #69 flux. If these materials are not available locally, contact the Lester factory.
