IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

13. CHARGER LOCATION

a. Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables
permit.
b. Never place charger directly above battery being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when
reading electrolyte specifi c gravity or fi lling battery.
d. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.

14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

a. Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after
setting any charger switches to "off" position and
removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips
to touch each other.
b. Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e),
15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door, or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts
that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N ) post.
d. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded
to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is
grounded to the chassis, see (f).
