INSTRUCTIONS TO GROUND AND CONNECT AN ALTERNATE
CURRENT CABLE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger shall be grounded.
The charger is equipped with an electric cable with a grounded
conductor and a grounded plug. The plug shall be connected into
power supply dully installed and grounded complying with the local
codes and ordinances.
NEVER
modify the cable or the alternate
current plug installed in the equipment. If it cannot be
plugged in the power supply, call a certified electrician
to connect the adequate power supply. A connection that
is not adequate may cause an electric shock.
This battery charger is manufactured to be used in a 127 V rated
power circuit and a grounded plug that looks like indicated in figure
A. A temporary adapter similar to the adapter shown in figures B
and C can be used if an adequate power supply is not available.
The adapter can be plugged into a two-pole power supply as shown
in figure B. This temporary adapter shall only be used until a
certified electrician will install a duly grounded power supply.
Before using the adapter as shown,
double check the screw in the center of the power
supply plate (if existing) is grounded. The rigid ring or
green connection lug coming out from the adapter shall
be connected into a grounded power supply.
If necessary, replace the plate screw with a longer
screw to fasten the rigid ring or lug and to make a
grounded connection with the grounded power supply.
When the battery charger is connected and the switch is in the ON
position, be careful not to touch together the connection grippers.
Never charge a battery in the ON position. Do not charge a
6 V battery in the 12 V position.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If you need to remove the battery from the vehicle towards the
charger, always remove the battery ground terminal. Verify all
the vehicle accessories are OFF no avoid causing an arc.
b) Verify the area around the battery is well ventilated when
charging the battery. You can spread the gas from the area,
blow it away using a piece of carboard or any nonmetallic
material as a fan.
c) Clean the battery terminals. Be careful the corrosion is not
making contact with your eyes,
d) Add distilled water into each cell until the battery acid is reaching
the specified level indicated by the battery manufacturer. This
operation is helpful to purge excessive gas in the cells. Do not
overfill. For batteries built without caps in the cells, follow
carefully the recharge instructions indicated by the
manufacturer.
e) Study all the preventive measures indicated by the battery
manufacturer, such as to remove or no remove the cells caps
