h) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
i) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
j) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
k) Use the AE1000 for charging SLI, AGM SPIRAL, AGM
FLATPLATE, GEL, VRLA, CAL/CAL and START-STOP LEAD
ACID & LFP batteries 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.
l) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
20. PREPARING TO CHARGE
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A
HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
a)Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while battery
is being charged. Gas can also be forcefully blown away by the
use of a fan or a non-metallic piece of material.
b)Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming
in contact with eyes.
c)Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery
is damaged, do not use charger.
d)If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the
manufacturer This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not
overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow
manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
e)If necessary to remove the battery from vehicle to charge, always
remove ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any
arcing.
f)Review all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as
removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
g)Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual
and make sure it matches output rating of battery charger.
h)If the battery and terminals have a white or bluish material on
them, the charging system performance should be checked. Any
performance issues should be corrected prior to the battery being
replaced after charging.
21. CHARGER/MAINTAINER LOCATION
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
a)Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
b)Never place the charger directly above battery being charged.
Gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
