PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY

1.WARNING: Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection, when working with lead-acid batteries.

2.Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a lead-acid battery. '

3.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

4.Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

5.Remove all 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.

6.Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or another electrical devise. Sparking may cause an explosion.

7.Always operate battery charger in an open well ventilated area.

8.NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!

GROUND AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS

Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This battery charger is designed for use on a nominal 120volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated FIGURE 1 (A). This plug should be used in a grounded outlet. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet).

ADAPTER: A temporary adapter, as shown in FIGURE 1

(B)and (C), may be used to connect the charger plug to a two pole receptacle (outlet) as shown FIGURE 1 (B).

NOTE: The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. DANGER: NEVER alter the AC cord or plug provided. If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. DANGER: Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. Make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1.If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.

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

3.Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. Use terminal protectors to prevent corrosion.

4.If battery has removable filler vents, check periodically to make sure battery electrolyte (liquid) covers the plates. If liquid is down, add water to bring level up. This also helps purge excessive gas from the cells.

NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL (OVERFILLING COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE).

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

6.DO NOT use for parallel charging. Charger is designed to charge / maintain one 12 volt battery.

CHARGER LOCATION PRECAUTION

Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery could damage charger.

Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.

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

Do not set battery on top of charger.
