PreParatIon before chargIng
The appliance must only be connected to a 6V or 12V lead-acid battery. Before
charging, confirm that the voltage of the battery is 6V or 12V by referring to the label
on the battery or from the information available relating to its application e.g. car
user manual.
Do not use the appliance for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with
home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
WARNING: explosive gas may be vented from lead acid batteries when charging. Make
sure that the area is well ventilated and remove any sources of ignition when conducting
charging procedures.
• Position the battery charger as far away from the battery as the leads will allow. The
battery charger contains switches that may create a spark.
• Do not place the battery charger above or stand the battery charger on top of the battery.
• explosive gases may collect near the ground. locate the battery charger as high as
possible above ground level.
• Do not use power tools in the charging area.
• Do not smoke or have a naked flame in the charging area.
• Follow the instructions for connecting and disconnecting the battery charger leads or
battery terminals.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use. This appliance is noT designed for
such use.

Vehicles may have electrical and electronic systems (e.g. engine management systems,
mobile phones) that may be damaged if subjected to high starting voltages and voltage
peaks. Before connecting the appliance to the vehicle, read the vehicle's owner's manual
to confirm that external charging is allowed.
• Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and vehicle
manufacturer.
• only connect and disconnect the dc output clamps after removing the supply cord from
the electric outlet. never allow clamps to touch each other.
• Check the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals before connecting the appliance.
Always disconnect the negative (black) cable first: followed by the positive (red) cable.
When charging a battery installed in the circuit, follow the manufacturers instructions for
accessing the battery and the following:
• Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
• Be aware that engine components e.g. the coolant fan may start automatically. Keep
hands and body away from engine components and position the battery charger and
cables to prevent contact.
• Make sure that the battery charger and the cables are located to prevent damage from
closure of doors and engine compartment covers.
• Make sure that the connections can be made without touching the metal body or
components adjacent to the battery.
• When using this appliance in proximity to the vehicle's battery and engine, place the
appliance on a flat, stable surface and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and
body parts away from moving parts of the vehicle.
• If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge or to clean the
terminals, make sure that all accessories in the vehicle are switched off, so as not to
cause a spark.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the appliance from any power source
before attempting maintenance or cleaning.

connectIng the battery charger

When all the preparations for charging and personal safety have been completed, proceed
as follows:
• For most automotive and similar applications the battery charger may be connected
to the battery while it is connected to the dc circuit. If this is acceptable follow the
instructions given in "Charging a battery installed in the circuit."
• If the battery must be disconnected from the circuit before charging, follow the
instructions given in "Charging a battery disconnected from the circuit."
