PLACE WRENCHES OR OTHER METAL
OBJECTS ACROSS THE BATTERY TERMINALS
OR BATTERY TOP.  ARCING OR EXPLOSION OF
THE BATTERY MAY RESULT.  SOMEONE
SHOULD BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF YOUR
VOICE OR CLOSE ENOUGH TO COME TO YOUR
AID WHEN YOU WORK NEAR A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY.  HAVE PLENTY OF FRESH WATER
AND SOAP NEARBY IN CASE BATTERY ACID
CONTACTS SKIN, CLOTHING OR EYES.

WARNING:  RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.  BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.  FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT
EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER,
YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

1.

New batteries should be given a full charge
before their first use because it is difficult to
know how long batteries have been stored.

2.

Limit use of new batteries for first 5 cycles.  New
batteries are not capable of their rated output
until they have been discharged a number of
times.

3.

Do not excessively discharge batteries.
Excessive discharge can cause polarity reversal
of individual cells resulting in complete failure
shortly thereafter.  Limited use of new batteries
will minimize the chance of cell reversal.

4.

Check the level of the electrolyte in conventional
liquid electrolyte lead acid batteries monthly.
Maintain the proper electrolyte level by adding
water when necessary.  Electrolyte levels lower
during discharge and rise during charge.
Therefore, it is mandatory that water be added
to cells only when they are fully charged; do not
overfill.  Old batteries require more frequent
additions of water compared to new batteries.

5.

Keep tops of batteries clean and dry to prevent
excessive self-discharge. Keep battery terminals
reasonably tight.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

1.

Someone should be within range of your voice
or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a lead-acid battery.

2.

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.

3.

Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection.  Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.

4.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water.  If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.

5.

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity
of battery.

6.

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a
metal tool onto battery.  It might spark or short-
circuit battery or other electrical part that may
cause explosion.

7.

Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery.  A lead-acid
battery can produce a short circuit, with current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn.

8.

Never charge a frozen battery.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION:  DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE

CHARGER.  TAKE IT TO A QUALIFIED SERVICE
AGENT WHEN SERVICE OR REPAIR IS
REQUIRED.  INCORRECT REASSEMBLY MAY
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
FIRE.  THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ARE
INTENDED ONLY TO DETERMINE IF A
MALFUNCTION MAY EXIST IN THE CHARGER,
OR IN THE EQUIPMENT AND BATTERIES.

DANGER:  TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, ALWAYS DISCONNECT BOTH THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD AND THE OUTPUT
CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.

CAUTION:  DO NOT OPERATE THE

CHARGER IF IT IS DAMAGED OR APPEARS TO
BE MALFUNCTIONING.  PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER AND/OR
BATTERIES MAY RESULT.

Use the following chart to help you troubleshoot
problems with the battery and charger system.
There are four different modes that each light can
have:  OFF (light is off), SLOW BLINK (light blinks
on and off once per second), FAST BLINK (light
blinks on and off eight times per second), and
STEADY (light is full on).
