• Clean terminals before charging battery. Keep corrosive particles from eyes, nose and mouth.
Use baking soda and water to neutralize acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion.
• Never allow clamps on charger cables to touch each other.
• Do not expose tester or charger to rain, snow or wet conditions.
• Do not allow battery gases or acid to contact MUTT
®
cabinet. Do not place charger directly above
or below battery.
• Fill battery to level specified by battery manufacturer using distilled water.
• Do not remove cell caps while charging per manufacturer’s instructions.
• Make sure tester cable clamps make tight connections.
• Battery explosion can cause injury.
2.3 General Charger Use
Risk of Electric Shock and Fire
• Before connecting charger cable to tester, make sure controls are set to OFF.
• Do not remove or bypass the grounding pin.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Replace immediately if damage occurs.
• Position power cord and charger cables away from the hood, doors and hot or moving engine
parts where they could be damaged.
• Unplug power cord by grasping and pulling on the plug, rather than the cord when disconnecting
charger from outlet.
• Charger power cord uses an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug only into
a 120V AC outlet that is correctly installed and grounded in accordance with all ordinances and
local codes.
• Unplug power cord from outlet before cleaning or maintaining tester and charger. Turning off
controls does not reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate charger after a sharp impact, drop or any other damage. Do not disassemble.
• Use only recommended attachments.
• Do not charge a frozen battery. Do not overcharge a battery.
• Use charger only on lead-acid automotive batteries. Do not use charger to charge dry-cell
batteries.
• Electric shock or fire can cause injury.
Risk of Entanglement
• Keep yourself, clothing and battery charger leads clear of moving parts such as fan blades,
pulleys, hood and doors. Moving parts can cause injury.
Risk of Burns
• Batteries can produce a short circuit current that is high enough to weld jewelry such as rings,
bracelets and watches. You must remove them before working near batteries.
• Short circuits can cause injury.
