11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters eye, immediately fl ood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or fl ame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, 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.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to
a low or extra low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do
not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries (NiCad, NiMh or Li-Ion batteries) that
are commonly used with home appliances. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. HOW TO CONNECT THE OXIMISER 601 TO A BATTERY
PREPARING TO CHARGE:
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal
from battery fi rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) STUDY ALL BATTERY MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS
REMOVING OR NOT REMOVING CELL CAPS WHILE CHARGING AND
RECOMMENDED RATES OF CHARGE. If necessary, add distilled water in each cell
until battery acid reaches level specifi ed by battery manufacturer. Do not overfi ll. For a
battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully
follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
c) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
d) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specifi c precautions while charging and recommended
rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure it matches
output rating of battery charger.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
b) NEVER PLACE THE CHARGER DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW THE BATTERY BEING
CHARGED; GASES OR FLUIDS FROM THE
BATTERY WILL CORRODE AND DAMAGE THE CHARGER. LOCATE THE CHARGER
AS FAR AWAY FROM THE BATTERY AS DC
CABLES PERMIT
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specifi c gravity or fi lling
battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. A suitable
location should be selected for the Oximiser 601. This should be away from any moisture
and with suffi cient ventilation to allow for cooling and battery gas discharge.
Do not cover the Oximiser 601 during use. The wall bracket supplied ensures optimum
airfl ow when placed in a well-ventilated position.
