NOTE:
• Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
• Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the
battery quickly and can cause battery
overheating and battery plate damage.
• If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not
to overcharge the battery.
• When charging a battery, be sure to
remove
it from the vehicle. (If charging has to be
done with the battery mounted on the
vehicle, disconnect the negative battery
lead from the battery terminal.)
• To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the
battery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
• Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
• Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery terminal
and that they are not shorted. A corroded
battery
charger lead clip may generate heat in the
contact area and a weak clip spring may
cause sparks.
• If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process,
disconnect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
