Charger Location; Dc Connection Precautions; Follow These Steps When Battery Is Installed In Vehicle - Forney 52750 Manual Del Propietário

CHARGER LOCATION

1. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC
cables permit.
2. Never place charger directly above battery being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and
damage charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when
measuring specific gravity or filling the battery.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

1. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after
setting any charger switches to off position and
removing AC cord from electric outlet.
Never allow clips to touch each other.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
1. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage
by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other
parts that can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see item
"5". If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see
item "6".
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE
(RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) ungrounded post of battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area, or
restrict ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
2. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back
and forth several times to make a good connection.
This tends to keep the clips from slipping off
terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis
or engine block away from battery. Do not connect
clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body
parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the
frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do not connect clip to
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame
or engine block.
7. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to
off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle
chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
8. See page 5 for length of charge information.
