Solar Battery Maintainer Location; Dc Connection Precautions; Follow These Steps When Battery Is Installed In Vehicle - Schumacher Electric SP-200 Manual Del Usuario

Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specifi ed
3.4
by the battery manufacturer. Do not overfi ll. For a battery without removable
cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow
the manufacturer's recharging instructions.
Read, understand and follow all instructions for the solar battery maintainer,
3.5
battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and solar battery
maintainer. Study all of the battery manufacturer's specifi c precautions while
maintaining.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual
3.6
and make sure that the output voltage of the solar battery maintainer is the
correct voltage.
Make sure that the solar battery maintainer cable clips make tight connections.

SOLAR BATTERY MAINTAINER LOCATION

Locate the solar battery maintainer as far away from the battery as the DC
4.1
cables permit.
Never place the solar battery maintainer directly above the battery being
4.2
maintained; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the solar battery
maintainer.
Do not set the battery on top of the solar battery maintainer.
4.3
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the solar battery maintainer when reading
4.4
the electrolyte specifi c gravity or fi lling the battery.
Do not operate the solar battery maintainer in a closed-in area or restrict the
4.5
ventilation in any way.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and
6.1
moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during
the maintaining process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of
the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
6.2
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post
6.3
usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
6.4
