1.
WARNING: Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection, when working with lead-acid batteries.
2.
Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a
lead-acid battery.
3.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery
acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts
skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
4.
Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid
particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters
your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
5.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
GROUND AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock.
Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This battery charger is designed for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated FIGURE 1 (A). This plug should be used in a grounded
outlet. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet).
ADAPTER: A temporary adaptor, as shown in FIGURE 1 (B)
and (C), may be used to connect the charger plug to a two-pole
receptacle (outlet) as shown FIGURE 1 (B).
NOTE: The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: NEVER alter the AC cord or plug provided. If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. DANGER: Before using an adaptor as illustrated, be certain that center
screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from adaptor must be connected to a properly grounded
outlet. Make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear
or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.
1.
Make sure you have either a 12 volt or a 6 volt lead-acid
battery and select battery charger switch accordingly.
2.
Clean battery terminals. Take care to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with your eyes.
3.
If required, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid
reaches levels specified by battery manufacturer. This helps
purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a bat-
tery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's re-
charging instructions.
4.
Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such
as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and
recommended rates of charge.
5.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery
is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by
using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material
as a fan.
6.
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, al-
ways remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to
cause an arc.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY

PREPARING TO CHARGE

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.
6.
Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the
battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery
or another electrical devise. Sparking may cause an
explosion.
7.
Always operate battery charger in an open well ventilated
area.
8.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!
