INSTRUCTION MANUAL: CHARGE PRO
2) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near a battery.
4) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with cold, running water for
at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
6) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
7) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
8) Use battery 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 will burst and cause injury
to persons and damage to property.
9) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Preparing to Charge Precautions
Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions:
1) Do NOT operate the charger if the cables or an LED is damaged.
2) Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.
3) If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the
grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the product
are off, so as not to cause an electrical arc.
4) Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being
charged.
5) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact
with eyes.
6) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specified by the
battery manufacturer, if applicable. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps,
carefully follow the manufacturer's recharging instructions.
7) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
8) Determine voltage of battery by referring to product's manual, and make sure it
matches output rating of battery charger.
