BATTERY CHARGING

The SAE-300

®

HE is equipped with a wet charged

battery.Thechargingcurrentisautomaticallyregulat-

NEGATIVE GROUND

.

GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
• Keep  sparks,  flame  and  cigarettes

away.

BATTERY  ACID  can  burn  eyes  and
skin.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and

be  careful  when  boosting,  charging
or working near battery.

To prevent ExPLOSION when:

a) Installing  a  new  battery  -  disconnect  thenega-

tive cable from the old battery first and connect
the negative cable to the new battery last.

b) Connecting a battery charger - remove the bat-

tery from the welder by disconnecting the nega-
tive cable first, then the positive cable and bat-
tery clamp. When reinstalling, connect the neg-
ative cable last.

c) Using  a  booster  -  connect  the  positive  lead  to

the battery first, then connect the negative lead
to the ground lead on the base.

To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE when:

a) Installing a new battery.
b) Using a booster.

Use correct polarity - Negative Ground.

To prevent BATTERY DISCHARGE, if you have an
ignition switch, turn it off when engine is not r u n -
ning.

• To prevent BATTERY BUCKLING, tighten nuts on

battery clamp until snug.
