Use the charger for charging only 6V and 12V LEAD-ACID (STD,
AGM or GEL) rechargeable batteries. It is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a start-
er-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging
dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and dam-

3. PREPARING TO CHARGE
3.1
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always
remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all acces-
sories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3.2
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being
charged.
3.3
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from com-
ing in contact with eyes.
3.4
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 manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
3.5
Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.6
Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual
and make sure that output voltage selector switch is set at cor-
rect voltage (if applicable). If charger has adjustable charge rate,
charge battery initially at lowest rate.
