WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS 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.
To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer and any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery(s).
Carefully review the cautionary markings on this equipment.
SPARK – Be very cautious about dropping metal objects such as screwdrivers and
wrenches onto a battery. This could short-circuit the battery and immediately cause a spark
that may result in a fire or explosion.
REMOVE – All personal metal items such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc. when working
near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or any
other metal causing serious burns.
DRY CELL BATTERIES – Never use the battery charger feature to charge dry cell batteries
that are commonly used with home appliances i.e. a cordless power drill battery. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property.
FROZEN BATTERY – Never charge a frozen battery.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION – Thoroughly inspect your unit.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by 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. Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters 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 nor 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 parts that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit 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.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION
a) 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.
b) For grounded, cord-connected battery chargers with an input rating less than
15A and intended for use with a global AC input (90V - 270V).
This battery charger is for use with a global AC input (90V - 270V) and has a
grounding plug. A temporary adaptor, as shown (figure is overleaf), may be
used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, 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 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.
c) For all other grounded, cord-connected battery chargers:
This battery charger is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) 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.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
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. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated
lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and recommended rates
of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to battery manufactures 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.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
b) Never place charge directly above battery being charged from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
