1. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to
charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off,
so as not to cause an arc.
2. 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
nonmetallic material as a fan.
3. Clean battery terminals with a mixture of baking soda
and hot water. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with eyes.

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

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric
shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. CAUTION: Connect and disconnect DC output
clips only after setting any switches with an OFF
position to OFF and removing ac power cord from
electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each
other.
2. When hooking up charger, attach one clip to battery
and the other to a point away from battery (see
sections G & H). Do not hook up charger until
reading sections A–J.

CHARGING A BATTERY THAT IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE
CAUTION: A MARINE (BOAT) BATTERY MUST BE
REMOVED AND CHARGED ON SHORE. TO CHARGE
IT ON BOARD REQUIRES EQUIPMENT SPECIALLY
DESIGNED FOR MARINE USE.
CAUTION: A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A
SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
PREPARING TO CHARGE BATTERY
LOCATING THE CHARGER
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid
reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow
manufacturer's recharging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions
such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to vehicle
owner's manual and make sure that output voltage
selector switch is set at correct voltage.
4. Do not operate the charger in a closed area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
6. Locate the charger at least 18" above the floor.
7. Do not place the charger where rain, snow, or other
moisture could drip on it.
DANGER – Never alter 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.
3. Always make battery connections prior to plugging
charger into AC outlet.
To reduce explosion risk, never connect both clips
directly to the battery. When making each connection,
twist or rock clip back and forth several times to make a
good connection and to reduce the risk of a clip slipping
off and creating a spark. Do not twist or rock clip on
the battery after the second clip connection is made.
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.
