IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
* 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.
* To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
* An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of re and electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of
charger as specied in Table
* Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualied serviceman.
* Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualied
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.
* To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
* The appliance is not to be used by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,
always remove grounded terminal from battery rst. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause
an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
level specied by battery manufacturer. Do not overll.
For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s
recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specic precautions
EN 19
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s
manual and make sure that output voltage selector switch is
set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate,
charge battery initially at lowest rate.
CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables
permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged;
gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
electrolyte specic gravity or lling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting
any charger switches to “off” position and removing ac cord
from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) post.
b) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated
battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from
battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making nal connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence of connecting procedure and break rst
connection while as far away from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially
designed for marine use.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately ood
eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of
battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other
electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It
is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not
use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door, or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that
can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected)
to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in
most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE
(RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal
