Preparing To Charge - Truper expert CARBA-50X Manual De Instrucciones

This battery charger is manufactured to be used in a 127 V rated
power circuit and a grounded plug that looks like indicated in figure
A. A temporary adapter similar to the adapter shown in figures B
and C can be used if an adequate power supply is not available.
The adapter can be plugged into a two-pole power supply as shown
in figure B. This temporary adapter shall only be used until a
certified electrician will install a duly grounded power supply.

WARNING Before using the adapter as shown,
double check the screw in the center of the power
supply plate (if existing) is grounded. The rigid ring or
green connection lug coming out from the adapter shall
be connected into a grounded power supply.
If necessary, replace the plate screw with a longer
screw to fasten the rigid ring or lug and to make a
grounded connection with the grounded power supply.
When the battery charger is connected and the switch is in the ON
position, be careful not to touch together the connection grippers.
Never charge a battery in the ON position. Do not charge a
6 V battery in the 12 V

PREPARING TO CHARGE

a) If you need to remove the battery from the vehicle towards the
charger, always remove the battery ground terminal. Verify all
the vehicle accessories are OFF no avoid causing an arc.
b) Verify the area around the battery is well ventilated when
charging the battery. You can spread the gas from the area,
blow it away using a piece of carboard or any nonmetallic
material as a fan.
c) Clean the battery terminals. Be careful the corrosion is not
making contact with your eyes,
d) Add distilled water into each cell until the battery acid is reaching
the specified level indicated by the battery manufacturer. This
operation is helpful to purge excessive gas in the cells. Do not
overfill. For batteries built without caps in the cells, follow
carefully the recharge instructions indicated by the
manufacturer.
e) Study all the preventive measures indicated by the battery
manufacturer, such as to remove or no remove the cells caps
when recharging and the recommended rates.
f) Determine the battery tension checking the automobile manual.
If the charger has an adjustable loading speed, charge the
battery first in the lowest speed.

position.
PLACEMENT OF THE CHARGER
a) Set the charger as far away as the c.c. battery cables allow.
b) Never set the charger directly on top of the battery that is been
charged. Gasses in the battery may corrode and damage the
charger.
c) Do not let the battery acid drip over the charger when checking
gravity or when filling up.
d) Do not operate the charger in a closed area. Do not block
ventilation by no means.
e) Do not place the battery on top of the charger. The device
produce heat in the machine while functioning. To allow heat
to go out, do not cover the ventilation slot with any object.
CAUTION MEASURES WITH THE C.C. CONNECTION
a) Connection and disconnection of the direct current output
clamps can only be carried out with the charger switches in the
OFF position, and the power cable disconnected from the power
supply. NEVER let the clamps touch one to the other.
b) Set the clamps in the battery and chassis as indicated in 1 (e),
1 (f), 1 (b) and 1 (d).
1. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN THE
VEHICLE. A SPARK CLOSE TO THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a) To reduce the risk of damage, place the current cables on the
hood, door or any place in the motor.
b) Keep away from the fan blades, bands, pulleys and other parts
that could injure people.
c) Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P +)
battery post, usually is of a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
d) Determine which of the battery posts is grounded (connected)
to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis
(as it is in most vehicles, see item (e). If the positive post is
grounded to the chassis, see item (f).
e) In vehicles grounded with the negative, connect the POSITIVE
(red) of the charger to the post that is not grounded POSITIVE
(POS, P +) post of the battery. Do not connect the clamp in the
carburetor, fuel lines or body metal sheets. Connect into a metal
part with tick caliber or a block in the motor.
f) In vehicles grounded with the positive, connect the NEGATIVE
(black) clamp to the post that is not grounded to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (red) clamp
to the vehicle chassis or to a block in the motor away from the
battery.
g) When disconnecting the charger, also disconnect the power
cable. Remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis and thorn,
remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
2. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE
VEHICLE. A SPARK CLOSE TO THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION
a) Check polarity in the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P +)
battery post OF THE BATTERY, USUALLY HAS A LARGER DIAMETER
THAN THE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Set an insulated battery cable 24" long and 6 AWG gauge to the
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
c) Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp, to the POSITIVE (POS, P +)
post of the battery.
