BATTERY HANDLING
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
•Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
•INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY - disconnect negative cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last.
•CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove battery from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well ventilated.
•USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery first then connect negative lead to engine foot.
BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.
•Wear gloves and eye protection and be careful when working near battery. Follow instructions printed on battery.
PREVENTING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
1.When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting the battery to the battery cables, the proper polarity must be observed. Failure to observe the proper polarity could result in damage to the charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable has a red terminal cover.
2.If the battery requires charging from an external charger, disconnect the negative battery cable first and then the positive battery cable before attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so can result in damage to the internal charger components. When reconnecting the cables, connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.
PREVENTING BATTERY DISCHARGE
Turn off the RUN/STOP to stop when engine is not running.
PREVENTING BATTERY BUCKLING
Tighten nuts on battery clamp until snug.
