Go to your local NAPA auto supply store and get,the following parts....
#1 Voltage reducer.-- 12v to 6v(used on early Chrysler cars) #2 length of stranded (red) copper wire,twice as heavy,or a little heaver, as the(red) wire on your 12v charger.This wire should be kept as short as feasable.... #3 clamp, to attach this new wire to the 6v battery post.(red on handle). #4 eylet to connect the new wire to one end of the new voltage reducer.. #5 eylet with no, plastic cover ,so you can clamp the red lead from the 12v charger to the voltage reducer(as large as the reducer has room for(mash the wire connection flat,to give the clamp from the charger a large area to connect too. #6 mount the voltage reducer over the exhaust air grill on the 12v charger....this will help cool the reducer,because it will get hot......make sure the conections at each end of the voltage reducer can not touch the metal mounting ! ! Now, when you need 12v, hook up your charger as usual......if you need 6v, connect the red,(hot)lead from the charger to the tab on the reducer and the new lead from the other end of the reducer will be 6v.....
Rember the reducer will cut the voltage in half....so while hooked to 6v the setting on the charger will be putting only 1/2 what the setting is indicating to the battery ---- setting of, 10A your only putting 5A to the battery......it will take twice as long to charge the 6v battery..... I would copy this and take it with you to the store....that way he will know what you are trying to do.....

In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs! But pretty soon you'll probably need to tinker with it a bit and maybe buy a part or too. Having a manual is nice. But how does one go about dete
