you have one end of the charger that goes in the wall outlet (should be obvious) the other end should twist on the glow plug side of the ignitor. push in, down and twist. i am no too sure of the one you have, buy that is how the 3 i own work.

sure bro, the charge should last for months if not used. You dont need to use it right away.

Just a quick laugh about a bad ingiter. I was getting a car ready to ship out to a customer so I plugged in an ignitor and just forgot about it till the next day. Well I go to get it off the shelf and its gone. I'm trying to figure out what the heck happened and a few people were in the shop the day before and we were running cars and just having fun. I figured maybe I grabbed it real quick and used it. so I start searching the whole shop and getting madder by the minute. A customer comes threw the door and walks to his left and picks something up and brings it over to the counter. Its half the igniter. It blew up [sm=confused.gif] half that thing was at the front of the shop and half at the back and the charger didn't even move. Damn glad I wasn't in the way LOL [&:]
