IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1.
Riskofelectricshockorre.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.1.1
Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recom-1.2
mended or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk
ofre,electricshockorinjurytopersonsordamagetoproperty.
To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug1.3
rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of1.4
animproperextensioncordcouldresultinariskofreandelectricshock.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number,•
size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical•
condition.
That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the•
chargerasspeciedinSection8.2.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet1.5
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the
controls will not reduce this risk.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and1.6
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.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; take it to a quali-1.7
edserviceperson.(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped1.8
orotherwisedamagedinanyway;takeittoaqualiedserviceperson.
(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)
Donotdisassemblethecharger;takeittoaqualiedservicepersonwhen1.9
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
reorelectricshock.(Callcustomerserviceat:1-800-621-5485.)

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS2.
Risk of explosive gases.
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries gener-2.1
ate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is
of utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use
the charger.
To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and2.2
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cau-
tionary markings on these products and on the engine.
This charger employs parts, such as switches and circuit breakers, that2.3
tend to produce arcs and sparks. If used in a garage, locate this charger
18inchesormoreaboveoorlevel.
NEVERsmokeorallowasparkorameinthevicinityofabatteryor2.4
engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the bat-2.5
tery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that
may cause an explosion.
Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended2.6
to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use this 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.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.2.7
NEVER overcharge a battery.2.8
PREPARING TO CHARGE3.
Risk of contact with battery acid. Battery acid
is a highly corrosive sulfuric acid.
Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you3.1
work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts3.2
your skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and pro-3.3
tective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.

•4 •
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area3.4
withsoapandwater.Ifacidentersyoureye,immediatelyoodtheeye
with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
right away.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, al-3.5
waysremovethegroundedterminalrst.Makesurealloftheaccessories
in the vehicle are off to prevent arcing.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is3.6
being charged.
Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During cleaning,3.7
keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose
and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the battery acid and
help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level3.8
speciedbythebatterymanufacturer.Donotoverll.Forabatterywithout
removablecellcaps,suchasvalveregulatedleadacidbatteries(VRLA),
carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery,3.9
vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of
thebatterymanufacturer’sspecicprecautionswhilechargingandrecom-
mended rates of charge.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s3.10
manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the
correct voltage. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the
batteryinthelowestraterst.
Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.3.11
CHARGER LOCATION4.
Risk of explosion and contact
with battery acid.
Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.4.1
Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases4.2
from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Do not set the battery on top of the charger.4.3
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electro-4.4
lytespecicgravityorllingthebattery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in4.5
any way.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS5.
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after pressing the5.1
START/STOP( )buttontoturntheoutputoffandremovingtheACplug
from the electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.65.2
and 7.2 through 7.4.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN6.
VEHICLE.
A spark near the battery may
cause a battery explosion. To
reduce the risk of a spark near
the battery:
Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,6.1
door and moving or hot engine parts.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause6.2
injury.
Checkthepolarityofthebatteryposts.ThePOSITIVE(POS,P,+)battery6.3
postusuallyhasalargerdiameterthentheNEGATIVE(NEG,N,-)post.
Determinewhichpostofthebatteryisgrounded(connected)tothechas-6.4
sis.Ifthenegativepostisgroundedtothechassis(asinmostvehicles),
see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
Foranegative-groundedvehicle,connectthePOSITIVE(RED)clipfrom6.5
thebatterychargertothePOSITIVE(POS,P,+)ungroundedpostofthe
battery.ConnecttheNEGATIVE(BLACK)cliptothevehiclechassisor
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
Forapositive-groundedvehicle,connecttheNEGATIVE(BLACK)clip6.6
fromthebatterychargertotheNEGATIVE(NEG,N,-)ungroundedpost
ofthebattery.ConnectthePOSITIVE(RED)cliptothevehiclechassisor
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
Whendisconnectingthecharger,presstheSTART/STOP(6.7 )button
to turn the output off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the
vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
