PREPARING TO CHARGE
CHARGER LOCATION
•
Locate charger as far away from battery as
DC cables permit.
•
NEVER
place charger directly above battery
being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
•
NEVER
allow battery acid to drip on charger
when reading electrolyte specific gravity or
filling battery.
•
DO NOT
operate charger in a closed-in area
or restrict ventilation in any way.
•
When using an extension cord, make the
AC connection to the charger outside of
the battery compartment as far away as
practical, to reduce the risk of a spark
igniting gases in the compartment.
•
DO NOT
set a battery on top of charger.
BATTERY PREPARATION
•
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle
to charge, always remove grounded terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories in
the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
•
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated
while battery is being charged.
•
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep
corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
•
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.
•
Study all battery manufacturer’s specific
precautions while charging and recommended
rates of charge.
WARNING
Battery chargers may get hot during operation. DO NOT set charger on flammable materials
like carpeting, upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc. Charger may damage leather and plastic.
