Charger Location; Dc Connection Precautions; Follow These Steps When Battery Is Installed In Vehicle - DSR INDUSTRIAL Serie Manual Del Usuario

3.3 Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During cleaning,
keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose
and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize battery acid and help
eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
3.4 Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level
specified by the battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without
removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead-acid-batteries, carefully
follow the manufacturer's recharging instructions.
3.5 Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery,
vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of
the battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and recom-
mended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's
manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the
correct voltage.
3.7 Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.

CHARGER LOCATION

4.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.
4.2 Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases
from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
4.3 Do not set the battery on top of the charger.
4.4 Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electro-
lyte specific gravity or filling the battery.
4.5 Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in
any way.
5.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

5.1
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after turning the charger
off and removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the
clips to touch each other.
5.2 Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.6
and 7.2 through 7.4.
6. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLO-
SION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
6.1 Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,
door and moving or hot engine parts.
6.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause
injury.
