2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or
short circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
2.7 Before working with a lead acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, watches, etc. A lead acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to
weld such items causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use the charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. The charger is not intended to supply
power to a low-voltage electrical system other than applications using rechargeable, lead-acid
type batteries. Do not use the charger for charging dry-cell batteries commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury and property damage.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery; thaw it out first.
3. PREPARING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
3.1 If necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge, always first remove the grounded
terminal from the battery. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent an arc.
3.2 Be sure the area around battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your
eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specified by the
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from the cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without
caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
3.5 Study all the battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging and the recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that
the output voltage menu selection is set at the correct voltage. The charger has adjustable
charge rates, so charge the battery initially at lowest rate. If the charger has only one voltage,
verify that the battery voltage matches the voltage of charger.
4. AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER: NEVER ALTER THE AC CORD OR PLUG PROVIDED. IF IT WILL NOT FIT
OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. AN
IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
