3.9Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of the bat- tery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.10Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage of the charger is the correct voltage.
3.11Make 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 electro- lyte specific gravity or filling the battery.
4.5Do not operate the charger in a
5.DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the charger switches to the “off” position 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 steps 6.5, 6.6,
7.2, 7.3 and 7.4.
6.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE.
7.4Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N,
7.5Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
7.6When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from the battery as practical.
7.7A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
8.BATTERY CHARGING – AC CONNECTIONS
Risk of electric shock or fire.
8.1This battery charger is for use on a nominal
8.2Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connec- tion can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution. NOTE: The use of an adapter plug is not recommended.
8.3Recommended minimum AWG size for extension cord:
•100 feet long or less - use an 18 gauge extension cord.
•Over 100 feet long - use a 16 gauge extension cord.

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,
6.4Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.

6.7When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the battery terminal.
6.8See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.
7.FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.
A spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion. To reduce the risk of a spark near the battery:
7.1Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N,
7.2Attach at least a
7.3Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery.
