away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic
material as a fan.
4 Grounding & Power Cord Connections
4.1 The charger must be grounded to reduce risk of electric
shock. The 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.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never
alter the charger’s original AC cord and plug.
Disconnect plug from outlet when charger
is idle.
IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE
A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
4.2 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 Figures B and 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 should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming into contact with your eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid
reaches the level specied by the manufacturer. This helps
purge excessive gas from the cells. Do not overll. For a
battery without caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s
recharging instructions.
3.5 Study all battery manufacturer’s specic precautions such
as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the
car owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage
selector switch is set at the correct voltage. If the charger
has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially
at lowest rate. If the charger has only one voltage, verify
that the battery voltage matches the voltage of charger.
For a charger not having an output voltage selector
switch, determine the voltage of the battery by referring
to car owner’s manual and make sure it matches the
output rating of the battery charger.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
Before using an adapter be certain the center
screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The
rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter
must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. Make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the original screw that secures
the adapter ear or lug to the cover plate and
make the ground connection to the grounded outlet.
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A
