2.7Before working with a lead acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld such items, causing a severe burn.

2.8CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable LEAD ACID TYPE batteries which may include MAINTENANCE FREE, LOW MAINTENANCE, OR DEEP CYCLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

The charger is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than applications using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not use the battery charger to charge dry-cell batteries used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury or property damage.

2.9NEVER charge a frozen battery. Thaw it out first. Charging will then be safer and more efficient.

3.PREPARING TO CHARGE BATTERY

3.1If necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent a possible arc.

3.2Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.

3.3Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes.

3.4Add distilled water in each cell until the battery electrolyte reaches the level specified by manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

3.5Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.

3.6Determine voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual, and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set at the correct voltage. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially at lowest rate. If the charger has only one voltage, verify that the battery voltage matches the voltage of charger. For a charger not having an output voltage selector switch, determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure it matches the output rating of the battery charger.
