PLACEMENT OF THE CHARGER
a) Set the charger as far away as the c.c. battery cables allow.
b) Never set the charger directly on top of the battery that is been
charged. Gasses in the battery may corrode and damage the
charger.
c) Do not let the battery acid drip over the charger when checking
gravity or when filling up.
d) Do not operate the charger in a closed area. Do not block
ventilation by no means.
e) Do not place the battery on top of the charger. The device produce
heat in the machine while functioning. To allow heat to go out, do
not cover the ventilation slot with any object.
CAUTION MEASURES
a) Connection and disconnection of the direct current output clamps
can only be carried out with the charger switches in the OFF
position, and the power cable disconnected from the power
supply. NEVER let the clamps touch one to the other.
b) Set the clamps in the battery and chassis as indicated in 1 (e), 1 (f),
1 (b) and 1 (d).
1. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN THE
VEHICLE. A SPARK CLOSE TO THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK NEAR THE BATTERY:
a) To reduce the risk of damage, place the current cables on the hood,
door or any place in the motor.
b) Keep away from the fan blades, bands, pulleys and other parts that
could injure people.
c) Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P +)
battery post, usually is of a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
d) Determine which of the battery posts is grounded (connected) to
the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as it is
in most vehicles, see item (e). If the positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see item (f).
e) In vehicles grounded with the negative, connect the POSITIVE (red)
of the charger to the post that is not grounded POSITIVE (POS, P +)
post of the battery. Do not connect the clamp in the carburetor,
fuel lines or body metal sheets. Connect into a metal part with tick
caliber or a block in the motor.
f) In vehicles grounded with the positive, connect the NEGATIVE (black)
clamp to the post that is not grounded to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (red) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or to a block in the motor away from the battery.
g) When disconnecting the charger, also disconnect the power cable.
Remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis and thorn, remove the
clamp from the battery terminal.
2. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE
VEHICLE. A SPARK CLOSE TO THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SPARKS GENERATING NEAR
THE BATTERY:
a) Check polarity in the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P +) battery
post OF THE BATTERY, USUALLY HAS A LARGER DIAMETER THAN THE
(NEG, N, -) post.
b) Set an insulated battery cable 24" long and 6 AWG gauge to the
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
c) Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp, to the POSITIVE (POS, P +) post
of the battery.
d) Your body as well as the free end of the cable shall be set as far
away as possible from the battery. Then, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the free end of the cable.

e) Do not stand in front of the battery when making the final connection.
f) When disconnecting the charger, do it in a sequence that is reverse
from the connection procedure. Disconnect the first connection
standing as far away as possible.
g) A sea boat battery shall be removed and charged on ground. Charging
on board, require equipment especially designed to marine use.
INSTRUCTIONS TO GROUND AND CONNECT AN ALTERNATE
CURRENT CABLE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger shall be grounded. The
charger is equipped with an electric cable with a grounded conductor
and a grounded plug. The plug shall be connected into power supply
dully installed and grounded complying with the local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING
NEVER modify the cable or the alternate
current plug installed in the equipment. If it cannot be
plugged in the power supply, call a certified electrician to
connect the suitable power supply. A connection if not
adequate may cause an electric shock.
This battery charger is manufactured to be used in a 127 V rated power
circuit and a grounded plug that looks like indicated in figure A.
A temporary adapter similar to the adapter shown in figures B and C
can be used if an adequate power supply is not available. The adapter
can be plugged into a two-pole power supply as shown in figure B. This
temporary adapter shall only be used until a certified electrician will
install a duly grounded power supply.

WARNING
Before using the adapter as shown, double
check the screw in the center of the power supply plate (if
existing) is grounded. The rigid ring or green connection lug
coming out from the adapter shall be connected into a
grounded power supply. If necessary, replace the plate screw
with a longer screw to fasten the rigid ring or lug and to make a
grounded connection with the grounded power supply.
When the battery charger is connected and the switch is in the ON
position, be careful not to touch together the connection grippers.
Never charge a battery in the ON position. Do not charge a 6 V battery
in the 12 V position.
