Safety Guidelines
Non-rechargeable batteries may burst when
charging causing personal injury and damage.
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never alter the charger’s
original AC cord and plug. Disconnect plug from outlet
when charger is idle.
The charger is not intended to supply power to a
low-voltage electrical system other than applications
using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not
use the battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause personal injury and property
damage.
2.8 NEVER charge a frozen battery; thaw it out first.
Preparing to Charge the Battery
3.1 If it is necessary to remove the battery from vehicle to
charge it, always remove the grounded terminal from the
battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are
off, so as not to cause an arc.
3.2 Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated
while the battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully
blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-
metallic material as a fan.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming into contact with your eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid
reaches the level specified by the manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from the cells. Do not overfill.
For a battery without caps, carefully follow the manufac-
turer’s recharging instructions
3.5 Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions
such as removing or not removing cell caps while charg-
ing and recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the
car owner’s manual and make sure that the output volt-
age selector switch is set at the correct voltage. If the
charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the bat-
tery initially at lowest rate. If the charger has only one
voltage, verify that the battery voltage matches the volt-
age of charger.
For a charger not having an output voltage selector
switch, determine the voltage of the battery by referring
to car owner’s manual and make sure it matches the
output rating of the battery charger.
Grounding and Power Cord Connections
4.1 The
charger must be grounded
to reduce risk of
electric shock. The 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 accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result
in electric shock
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never al-
ter the charger’s original AC cord and plug.
Disconnect plug from outlet when charger
is idle.
IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE
A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
4.2 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 220-volt cir-
cuit.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result
in electric shock
Before using an adapter be certain the cen-
ter screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The
rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter
must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. Make certain it is grounded. If neces-
sary, replace the original screw that secures
the adapter ear or lug to the cover plate and
make the ground connection to the ground-
ed outlet.
4.3 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could re-
sult in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension
cord must be used, make sure:
a. that the pins on plugs of the extension cord are the
same number, size, and shape as those of the plug
on the charger;
b. that the extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition;
c. that the wire size is large enough for the AC
ampere rating of charger.
