• Do not set the charger on flammable materials, such as carpeting, upholstery, paper,
cardboard, etc.
• Never smoke or allow sparks or flames in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GAS.
• Operate the charger as far away from the battery as DC charger cablespermit.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery.
• NEVER set a battery on top of the charger.
• NEVER place the charger directly above a battery being charged. Gases from the
battery will corrode and damage the charger.
• NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger is energized.
• When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug, not by the cord. Pulling
on the cord may cause damage to the cord or plug.
• Do not operate the charger with damaged cord or plug.
• NEVER allow battery acid to drop onto the charger.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIOUS
• Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working near lead-acid batteries.
Always have someone nearby for help.
• Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid
contacts your eyes, skins, or clothing. Wash immediately with soda and water and seek
medical attention.
• If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum of 10
minutes and get medical attention.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to cleanup.
• Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring to
metal, causing a severe burn.
• Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.
• If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the
grounded terminal first.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 230 volt circuit .
Preparing to Charge
1. Determine voltage of battery to be maintained by referring to the vehicle manual.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminal, always
remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle
are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Clean battery terminals. Do not allow corrosion to come in contact with eyes.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer’s charging
instructions.
