IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12.
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
a. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR
CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
13.
a. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
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 skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enter eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and 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 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.
h. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a
starter motor application. 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.
i. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
14.
a. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove the 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, 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 reffering to car owner's manual and make sure that output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage.
If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.

15. CHARGER LOCATION
a. Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery,
d. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area, or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
16.
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.
b. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth serval times to make a good connection. This tends to keep the clips from
slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
17.
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position ac and dc cords 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
item "e". If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f".
e. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
g. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery
terminal.
h. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
18.
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
battery post.
c. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d. 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.
e. Do not face battery when making final connection.
f. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away
from battery as practicle.
g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine
use.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
19.
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER. Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
shouldbe used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER. Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that
center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored
rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to
a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If
necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a
longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover
plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.
NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT
USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
