C. PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Be sure area around battery set is well ventilated while battery set is being
charged.
2. Clean battery set terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with eyes.
3. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified
by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable
cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow
manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
4. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
5. Determine voltage of battery set by referring to vehicle owner’s manual
and make sure it matches output rating of battery set maintenance
-
charger.
D. MAINTENANCE-CHARGER LOCATION
1. Locate maintenance
-
charger as far away from battery set as DC cables
permit.
2. Never place maintenance
-
charger directly above battery set being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage maintenance
-
charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on maintenance
-
charger when reading
electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate maintenance
-
charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of maintenance-charger.
6. Always mount units in vertical position with cord sets exiting downward
to ensure weather tight integrity. Unit must be mounted in this manner
to ensure long term trouble free life including weatherproof integrity.
Mounting in any other manner or using un-mounted (parallel to ground)
except indoors may cause unit to fail due to water intrusion that is unable
to drain correctly.
E. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Connect to batteries using only the supplied RTA-2415 Ring Terminal
assembly and the supplied EZC-01 Connector
ONLY
only after removing
AC plug from electric outlet. Never allow the two ring terminals to touch
each other.
2. Connect to battery set using only the supplied RTA-2415 Ring Terminal
Assembly and the supplied EZC-01 connector ONLY.
F. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY SET IS INSTALLED
IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION.
