WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH
TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS
MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these directions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manuf.
of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough
to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eyes
with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of
battery or engine.
10. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; return it to
a qualified service source.
11. Do not disassemble charger; Take it to a qualified service
source when repair or service is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

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.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
WARNING The front panel switch has two settings, marked
12V and 16V, with OFF in the center.
The switch must be set to 12 Volts when charging 12 Volt
(SIX CELL) batteries.
The switch must be set to 16 Volts ONLY when charging
16 Volt (EIGHT CELL) batteries.
Sixteen Volt (Eight Cell) batteries are special high performance
batteries used in racing applications only, which need a higher
voltage recharge. They are identified as 16 Volts on the battery
label, and have eight cell caps on top of the battery.
Setting the charger to 16 Volts, when connected to
the "12-Volt Post" on a three terminal 16 Volt battery, will apply
excessive voltage to the battery cells and to the vehicle
electrical system, and may result in emission of explosive
gasses, overheating and damage to the vehicle electrical system.
Damage caused by incorrect setting of the Voltage is not covered
under the warranty, so check which type of battery is connected
before using the charger. If in any doubt, use only the 12 Volt
setting.
CHARGER LOCATION
1. Locate charger as far away from battery as charging cables
will permit.
2. Never place charger above battery being charged; gasses
from battery will corrode and damage charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
specific gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Connect and disconnect DC output only after removing AC
cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
2. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth
several times to make a good connection. This tends to keep
clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of
sparking.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISKS;
1. Carefully position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage
by hood, door or moving engine parts.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that
can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS. P. +), battery
posts usually have a larger diameter than
the NEGATIVE (NEG. -.) posts.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to
the chassis.
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip
from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P,+) UNGROUNDED
POST OF THE BATTERY. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip
to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. DO NOT
CONNECT CLIPS TO CARBURETOR, FUEL LINES, OR
SHEET METAL BODY PARTS. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clip from battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
UNGROUNDED POST OF THE BATTERY. Connect
POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block
away from battery.
DO NOT CONNECT CLIP TO CARBURETOR, FUEL LINES
OR SHEET METAL BODY PARTS, CONNECT TO GOOD

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has a larger diameter than the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch long, 6 gauge (AWG) insulated
battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG. N, -) battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) of the battery.
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from
battery as possible, then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence while as far away from battery as practical.
