Charger Placement; Provide Required Power; Battery Preparation - Pro-Logix SOLAR PL3760 Manual Del Operador

Charger Placement

Place the charger in a clean, dry, stable, well-ventilated spot as far from the battery as the DC output cables
permit.
NEVER place the charger directly above the battery being charged - gasses from the battery will corrode and
damage the charger.
NEVER allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading specific gravity or filling the battery.
NEVER place a battery on top of the charger.
NEVER attempt to permanently mount this battery charger on a marine or recreational vehicle.
ALWAYS position the charger on the outside of a boat or recreational vehicle.

Provide Required Power

This battery charger requires a nominal 120V 60Hz alternating current (AC) power source. The power source must
be fused at an amperage greater than or equal to the input amps rating of this charger - see back of unit for input
power requirements.
Do not plug the charger into the AC power source until told to do so in the operating instructions.
NOTE: Engine starting performance may be reduced when extension cords are used.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
See Safety Summary, pages 2-5.
To reduce risk of electric shock, never alter AC power cord or power cord plug provided on the charger. If it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Never use an adapter.
The charger must be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electric cord
that has an equipment grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an AC outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Extension Cords
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken to select an
extension cord suitable for use with your specific battery charger (see Shock Hazards in Safety Summary).
WARNING: Fire can kill, injure and cause property damage!
See Safety Summary, pages 2-5.
To reduce risk of electric shock and fire, never alter the AC power cord or power cord plug provided on the
charger. Never alter extension cords or extension cord plugs. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition. Make sure the wire size (American Wire Gauge or AWG) of the extension cord is large
enough to handle your specific charger's amperage requirements. This battery charger features protection against
abnormally low input voltage and will safely shut the charger down if input voltage is too low.

Battery Preparation

WARNING: Battery explosion can injure and cause property damage! Never smoke or allow a spark
or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
See Safety Summary, pages 2-5.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off
and always remove the grounded cable from the battery first.
If needed, add distilled water to each cell of the battery until battery acid reaches the manufacturer's specified
level. DO NOT OVERFILL! This helps remove excessive explosive gasses from the battery. For maintenance free
batteries without caps, carefully follow the battery manufacturer's recharging instructions.
