GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER.
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER.
Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain
that the center screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The
green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter must
be connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is
grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate
screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or
lug to the outlet cover plate and make ground connection to
grounded outlet.
NOTE:
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE THIS
APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective.
b.
Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts
c.
Charge for length of time per charge,
d.
Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be
used for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to gas excessively or when the temperature of the electrolyte reaches
approximately 120
E
F. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and eventual damage to the battery.
