b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts or enters eye, flood eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap & water. If acid enters an eye, immediately flood eye with running
cold water for at least 10 minutes & get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that
may cause explosion.
g) 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.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) 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.
b) 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 non-metallic material as a fan.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) 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, such as valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) or absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, carefully follow
manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of
charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to vehicle or other user’s manual and BEFORE MAKING THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, MAKE SURE
THAT THE VOLTAGE OF THE BATTERY YOU ARE GOING TO CHARGE MATCHES THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF THE CHARGER.
13. CHARGER LOCATION.
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
b) Never place charger directly above batterv being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger. c) Never allow battery
acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
d) Do not set a battery on top of charger. IMPORTANT : Place charger on a hard flat surface or mount onto a vertical surface. Do not place on
plastic, leather or textile surface.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to off position and removing AC cord from electric outlet.
Never allow clips to touch each other, however should this happen no damage will result to the charger circuit & the automatic charging
programme will just reset to «start».
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
NOTE : This battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if the
battery has been inversely connected.
Set charger switches to off position and/or remove AC cord from electrical outlet,
disconnect the battery clips, then reconnect correctly according to the instructions below.
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY :
a) Position AC and DC cords so as to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan -blades, belts,pulleys,and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts.POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles),
see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis,see (f).
