To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by

battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough 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 skin, clothing,

or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while

working near battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid

enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or

short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
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 circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power

to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter motor application. Do not use
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.


PREPARING TO CHARGE

If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded

terminal from 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. Gas can be

forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a
fan.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery

manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
Study all the battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not

removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that

output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage.
If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.
