•
Locate the charger as far away from the
battery being charged as the cables will
permit.
•
Be sure to position the power cord to prevent
it from being stepped on, tripped over or
damaged.
•
NEVER
place charger directly above battery

well ventilated while being charged.

the battery fluid reaches the level specified
by the battery manufacturer.

instructions.

Study all of the battery manufacturer’s
specific precautions and recommendations
