IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANADA & USA (cont.)
13. CHARGER LOCATION:
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables permit. b) Never place charger directly
above batterv being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger. c) Never allow battery acid to drip on
charger when reading gravity or filling battery. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
d) Do not set a battery on top of charger. IMPORTANT : Place charger on a hard flat surface or mount onto a vertical surface. Do
not place on plastic, leather or textile surface.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS:
a) Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing AC cord from electric
outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other, however should this happen no damage will result to the charger circuit & the
automatic charging programme will just reset to «start». b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and
16(b) through 16(d).
NOTE : This battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if
the battery has been inversely connected.
Remove AC cord from electrical outlet, disconnect the battery clips, then reconnect correctly according to the instructions below.
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR A
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY :
a) Position AC and DC cords so as to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part. b) Stay clear of fan -blades,
belts,pulleys,and other parts that can cause injury to persons. c) Check polarity of battery posts.POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post. d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to
the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles),see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis,see
(f). e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, + ) ungrounded post
of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block. f) For
positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG. N , -) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block. g) When disconnecting
charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord,remove clip from vehicle chassis,and then remove clip from battery terminal.
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information.
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY :
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG,N, -) post.
b) This battery charger has an automatic safety feature that will prevent it from operating if the battery has been
inversely connected. The charger does allow charge current unless a voltage of at least 0.5V is sensed.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery. d) Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post of the battery. e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure & break first connection while as far
away from battery as practical. g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed & charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use.
