Operating Instruction

2. Personal Precautions

WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
2.1 Remove 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 cir-
cuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.2 Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of
dropping a metal tool onto the battery.
It might spark or short-circuit the battery
or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
2.3 Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID
batteries only. It is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system.
Do not use this battery charger for char-
ging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batte-
ries may burst and cause injury to per-
sons and damage to property.
2.4 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
2.5 Consider having someone nearby to
come to your aid when you work near
a lead-acid battery. Have plenty of fresh
water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts your skin, clothing or eyes.
2.6 If battery acid contacts your skin or
clothing, immediately wash the area
with soap and water. If acid enters your
eye, immediately flood the eye with cold
running water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention right away. If
25
battery acid is accidentally swallowed,
drink milk, the whites of eggs or water.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical
attention immediately.

3. Preparing to Charge

WARNING
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE
SULFURIC ACID.
3.1 Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the
cables prior to using the battery charger.
3.2 If it is necessary to remove the battery
from the vehicle to charge it, always re-
move the grounded terminal first. Make
sure all of the accessories in the vehicle
are off, to prevent arcing.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals before char-
ging the battery. During cleaning, keep
airborne corrosion from coming into
contact with your eyes, nose and mouth.
Use baking soda and water to neutralize
the battery acid and help eliminate air-
borne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes,
nose or mouth.
3.4 Add distilled water to each cell until the
battery acid reaches the level specified
by the battery manufacturer. Do not
overfill. For a battery without removab-
le cell caps, such as valve regulated lead
acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the
manufacturer's recharging instructions.
3.5 Read, understand and follow all instruc-
tions for the charger, battery, vehicle
