Battery Explosion; Moving Parts Hazards; Burn Hazards - Solar Charge it 4735 Manual De Propietario

WARNING – Battery Explosion Hazards
1. NEVER connect both battery charger clamps directly to the two posts of the same battery. See Operation
Instructions for connection procedures.
2. NEVER allow the dc output clamps to touch each other.
3. ALWAYS be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal object, such as a tool, onto or near
the battery. Doing so could produce a spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical part that could
cause an explosion.
4. NEVER operate the battery charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
5. ALWAYS make sure the area around a battery is well ventilated while it is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
6. ALWAYS make sure that the AC power cord is unplugged from the ac outlet or extension cord BEFORE
connecting or disconnecting the battery charger clamps, to prevent arcing or burning.
7. ALWAYS locate the battery charger as far away from the battery as the DC output cables will permit.
8. ALWAYS twist or rock charger clamps back and forth several times on the battery post and the other
point of connection at the time of initial connection. This helps keep the clamps from slipping off their
points of connection which helps reduce the risk of sparking. DO NOT rock the clamp connected to the
battery post AFTER the second connection (at a point away from the battery) is made or sparking may
occur at the battery post.
9. ALWAYS check the cable and wire connections at the battery(s) for tightness BEFORE starting to charge.
A loose connection can cause sparks or excessive heating which could cause a battery explosion.
10. ALWAYS make sure the battery compartment is open and well ventilated before charging.
WARNING – Moving Parts Hazards
1. NEVER connect the battery charger clamps to a vehicle when the engine is running.
2. ALWAYS stay clear of fan blades, fan belts, pulleys and other moving engine parts when working near an
engine. Moving engine parts can cause severe personal injury, including dismemberment.
3. ALWAYS make sure that the battery charger cables and clamps are positioned so they will not come in
contact with any moving engine parts.
4. NEVER wear loose clothing or long hair around moving parts because they may get caught and cause
severe injury or death.
WARNING – Burn Hazards
1. NEVER lean on or rest against the engine or cooling system parts when the vehicle is running.
2. ALWAYS stay clear of the cooling system, engine, and engine manifold. These engine components get
very hot and retain heat for a long time. Touching any of these components can cause severe burns.
