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 current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
8. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID BATTERY ONLY. Do
not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always
remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in vehicle are off so as not to cause an arc.
2. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a
piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.
3. Clean all battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming 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,
carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as
removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car or equipment
owner's manual and make sure it matches output rating of
battery charger.
