4. PREPARING TO CHARGE
CHARGER LOCATION
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Locate the charger as far away from the battery being charged as the
cables will permit.
Be sure to position the power cord to prevent it from being stepped on,
tripped over or damaged.
Never place charger directly above battery being charged. Gases from
the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Never set a battery on top of a charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip on charger.
Always charge a battery in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING: Battery chargers may get hot during operation. Do not set
charger on flammable materials like carpeting, upholstery, paper, cardboard,
etc. Charger may damage leather, plastic and rubber.
BATTERY PREPARATION

remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories
in the vehicle are OFF in order to prevent sparks.
Be sure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while being
charged.
Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion or battery acid
from getting in or around your eyes.
