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.
g)
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.
h)
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.
i)
NEVER charge a frozen battery
2) PREPARING TO CHARGE
a)
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery fi rst.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b)
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 nonmetallic material as a fan.
c)
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d)
Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specifi ed by battery manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfi ll. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow
manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e)
Study all battery manufacturers' specifi c precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
f)
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that output selector switch
is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.
Exception: For a charger not having an output voltage selector switch, determine voltage of battery by referring
to car owner's manual and make sure it matches output ratings of battery charger.
3) CHARGER LOCATION
a)
Locate charger as a far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b)
Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage
charger
c)
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or fi lling battery
d)
Do not operate charger in a charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way
e)
Do not set a battery on top of charger.
4) DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a)
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.
b)
Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 5(e), 5(f), 6(b), and 6(d).
