PREPARING TO CHARGE

20.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.Be sure the area
around the battery is well-ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas can also be forcefully blown
away by the use of a fan or a non-metallic piece of material.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
a)
Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If the battery is damaged, do not use charger.
b)
If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid reaches
c)
the level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
If necessary to remove the battery from vehicle to charge, always remove ground terminal from battery first.
d)
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.
Review all battery manufacturers' specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
e)
charging and recommended rates of charge.
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure it matches output rating of
f)
battery charger.
If the battery and terminals have a white or blue-ish material on them, the charging system performance should
g)
be checked. Any performance issues should be corrected prior to the battery being replaced after charging.
CHARGER/MAINTAINER LOCATION
21.
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit. b)Never place the charger directly above
a)
battery being charged.
Gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
b)
Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading specific gravity or filling the battery.
c)
Do not operate the charger in a closed area with restrict ventilation in any way.
d)
Do not set a battery on top of charger.
e)
SETTING UP & OPERATIONS
22.
Mount this charger away from any vehicle repair or service. Make sure never to start or run an engine near
a)
the batteries that are being charged.
Be sure the total amperage used by this charger does not exceed the amperage capacity of the supply source.
b)
If you do not know how to determine this, have a qualified electrician determine the capacity for you.
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to the off position and
c)
remove the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp the black end (NEG, -) to
d)
the negative battery terminal. Clamp the red end (POS, +) to the positive battery terminal.
Connect the charger to a grounded power receptacle that is wired in compliance with local electrical codes.
e)
Note that side mounted batteries will require the insertion of a lead
post adapter. Plain bolts are not good conductors or safe. They will not allow for an accurate reading and should
not be used.
AC CONNECTIONS
23.
This battery charger is for use on 220-240 Vac. Check your AC voltage and make sure the version you
a)
take is correct.
The input lead must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
b)
all local codes and ordinances.
The plug pins must fit the receptacles. Do not use with an ungrounded system.
c)
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided. If it does not fit the outlet, have a properly grounded outlet
d)
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or
electrocution.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

24.
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never
a)
allow clips to touch each other.
FOR A CHARGER HAVING AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH, REFER TO THE CAR OWNER'S MANUAL
b)
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE VOLTAGE OF THE BATTERY AND TO MAKE SURE THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS SET
AT THE CORRECT VOLTAGE. IF AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH IS NOT PROVIDED, DO NOT USE
THE BATTERY CHARGER UNLESSTHE BATTERY VOLTAGE MATCHES THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE RATING OF THE
CHARGER.
