• Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not remov-
ing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
• Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure it
matches output rating of battery charger.
• If the battery and terminals have a white or bluish crust on them, the charging system
may be having problem. These problems should be corrected before the battery is
replaced after charging.
CHARGER/ MAINTAINER LOCATION
• Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
• Never place charger directly above battery being charged. Gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
• Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
• Do not operate charger in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• Do not set athe charger on top of battery.
SETTING UP & OPERATIONS
• Make sure the room has plenty of ventilation.
• Mount BHFB 05 Chargers away from any vehicle repair or service. Make sure never
to start or run an engine near the batteries being charged.
• Be sure the total amperage used by BHFB 05 Chargers should not exceed the amper-
age capacity of the supply source. If you do not know how to determine this, have a
qualified electrician determine the capacity for you.
• 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.
• Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp
the black lead to the negative battery terminal. Clamp the red lead to the positive
battery terminal.
• Connect BHFB 05 Chargers to a grounded power receptacle that is wired in compli-
ance with local electrical codes. Side mounted batteries will require the insertion of a
lead post adapter. Plain bolts are not safe. They will not allow for accurate reading and
should not be used.
• DANGER – Never alter 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.
• When BHFB 05 Charger is being used, it will show LED lights as follows:
