f) 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 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 batter-
ies may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.

PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
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 bat-
tery is being charged.
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 specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill.
For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufac-
turer’s recharging instruction.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s
manual and make sure it matches output rating of battery
charger.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as 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 read-
ing electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
