Power Cord Safety
The BC1509CA has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
The BC2509CA and BC4009CA battery chargers are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and have a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the sketch A in the illustration below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch 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 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 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.

PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
2. Remove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined area before charging.
3. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
4. Clean battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive material in eyes.
5. 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 (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's charging instructions.
6. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.
7. Determine voltage of battery to be charged by referring to the vehicle manual. The unit is for charging a 12 volt battery only.
Charger Location
•Locate charger as far away from battery as cables permit.
•Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
•Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
•Never operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
•Marine batteries must be removed and charged on shore.
•Do not set a battery on top of charger.
Connection Precautions
•Connect and disconnect output clamps or vehicle accessory plug only after removing AC cord from electric outlet.
•Never allow clamps to touch each other.
•Attach clamps to battery and chassis as indicated in “Battery Installed in Vehicle” steps 5 and 6, or in “Battery Outside of Vehicle” steps 2 to 5.
Follow these steps when the battery is installed in a vehicle
WARNING: A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Position AC and clamp cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
