3.4Add 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 (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

3.5Read, 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 recommended rates of charge.

3.6Determine 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. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery in the lowest rate first.

3.7Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.

4.CHARGER LOCATION

RISK OF EXPLOSION AND

CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.

4.1Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.

4.2Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

4.3Do not set the battery on top of the charger.

4.4Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electrolyte specific gravity or filling the battery.

4.5Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in any way.

5.DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

5.1Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the charger switches to the “off” position (if applicable) and removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.

5.2Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in sections 6 and 7.

6.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY

MAY CAUSE A BATTERY

EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE

BATTERY:

6.1Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.

6.2Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.

6.3Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
