lSomeone should be within 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. Wear complete eye and clothing
protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
lIf battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flush eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
lNEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
lBe 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.
lWhen 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 a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
lIt is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a
power supply application. Do not use battery charger for recharging dry-cell or non-
rechargeable batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
lNEVER charge a frozen battery.
lNEVER charge the improper type of battery.
lNEVER charge the improper Voltage of battery.
lNEVER block off the ventilation of the charger.
lPREPARING TO CHARGE
lIf 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. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-
metallic material as a fan.
lClean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with
eyes. 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 caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
lStudy all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
lDetermine voltage of battery by contacting battery manufacturer and make sure it
matches output rating of battery charger.
lCHARGER LOCATION
lLocate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
lNever place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
lNever allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
lDo not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
lDo not set a battery on top of charger.
lDC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
lConnect and disconnect DC output terminals only after removing charger from AC
outlet.
lNever allow DC output terminals to touch each other.
lIf problems arise connecting the output leads, solicit the aid of your Dealer from whom
you purchased this product or the charger manufacturer for finding a suitable
connection device for your application.
lFOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK

NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A
SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
lPosition AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine
part.
lStay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that can cause injury to
persons.
lCheck polarity of battery posts POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post usually has larger diameter
than NEGATIVE -(NEG., N, -).
lDetermine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis.
lFor negative-grounded vehicle, first connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from charger to
POSITIVE (POS., P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
terminal to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
lFor positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG., N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery keeping the battery terminal well
removed there from.
lDo not connect any charger clips to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
lConnect charger AC supply cord to electric outlet.
lWhen disconnecting charger, turn switches (if supplied) to off, disconnect charger from
AC power, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
See operating instructions for length of charge information.
lFOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A
SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
lCheck polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS., P, +) battery post usually has a
larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG., N, -) post. Some batteries are equipped with
'Wing-Nut' terminals allowing for easy placement of the terminals to these posts.
lAttach at least a 24-inch long 18-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE
(NEG., N, -) battery post.
lConnect POSITIVE (RED) charger terminal to POSITIVE (POS., P, +) post of battery.
lPosition yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible -then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) terminal to free end of cable.
lDo not face battery when making final connection.
lConnect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet
lWhen disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting
procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical
