frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

WARNING: RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY
CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from
3.1
battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
3.2
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
3.3
If applicable, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer.
3.4
Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully
follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.5
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that output voltage selector
3.6
switch is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.
4.

CHARGER LOCATION

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit.
4.1
Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
4.2
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
4.3
Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
4.4
Do not set a battery on top of charger.
4.5
5.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to "off" position and
5.1
removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
5.2 Attach clips to battery and chassis, as indicated in sections 6 and 7.
