Using an extension cord

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If you must use an extension cord, please make sure that you follow these guidelines:

•Make sure the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of the plug on the charger.

•Use only 3-conductor (grounded) extension cord when necessary.

•Check that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

•Use the recommended minimum AWG (American Wire Gauge) to be sure that wire size is large enough for the rating of the charger.

Preparing your battery to be charged

It is important that you read and follow these guide- lines while you are preparing to charge your battery.

•Make sure that you have a 12 volt or 6 volt lead-acid battery.

•Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from getting in or around your eyes or on your hands.

•If you have a battery with removable cell caps, if required, add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level indicated by the manufacturer. This will help purge excessive gases from the cells. Be careful not to overfill. If you have a sealed battery without cell caps, no action is neces- sary. Continue to the next step listed below.

•Take time to read all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.

•Wear safety glasses. See additional "Personal Safety Precautions" on page 2.

•Be sure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while it is being charged. If ventilation is poor, any gases emitted from the battery can be manually blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.

•If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. A spark may be caused if all accessories in the vehicle are not completely turned off.

NOTE: A marine battery installed in a boat must be removed and charged on shore.

Maintenance and care

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery charger working properly for years.

1.Clean the clamps each time you are finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may have come in contact with the clamps to prevent corrosion.

2.Coil the input and output cords neatly when storing the charger. The cords can be wrapped around the handle of the charger. This will help prevent accidental damage to the cords and charger.

3.Occasional cleaning of the case of the charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.
