Safety Guidelines
Non-rechargeable batteries may burst when
charging causing personal injury and damage.
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never alter the char-
ger’s original AC cord and plug. Disconnect plug from
outlet when charger is idle.
The charger is not intended to supply power to a
low-voltage electrical system other than applications
using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not
use the battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause personal injury and property
damage.
2.8 NEVER charge a frozen battery; thaw it out rst.
Preparing To Charge The Battery
3.1 If it is necessary to remove the battery from vehicle to
charge it, always remove the grounded terminal from the
battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are
o, so as not to cause an arc.
3.2 Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated
while the battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully
blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-
metallic material as a fan.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming into contact with your eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid
reaches the level specied by the manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from the cells. Do not overll.
For a battery without caps, carefully follow the manufac-
turer’s recharging instructions
3.5 Study all battery manufacturer’s specic precautions
such as removing or not removing cell caps while charg-
ing and recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the
car owner’s manual and make sure that the output volt-
age selector switch is set at the correct voltage. If the
charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the bat-
tery initially at lowest rate. If the charger has only one
voltage, verify that the battery voltage matches the volt-
age of charger.
For a charger not having an output voltage selector
switch, determine the voltage of the battery by referring
to car owner’s manual and make sure it matches the
output rating of the battery charger.
Grounding & Power Cord Connections
4.1 The charger must be grounded to reduce risk of
electric shock. The charger is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
To avoid electrical shock or burn, never alter
the charger’s original AC cord and plug. Dis-
connect plug from outlet when charger is idle.
IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE
A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
4.2 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 220-volt cir-
cuit.
Hazardous voltage.
An improper connection can result in
electric shock
Before using an adapter be certain the center
screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The rigid
ear or lug extending from the adapter must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet. Make
certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the
original screw that secures the adapter ear or
lug to the cover plate and make the ground
connection to the grounded outlet.
4.3 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could re-
sult in a risk of re and electric shock. If an extension
cord must be used, make sure:
a. that the pins on plugs of the extension cord are the
same number, size, and shape as those of the plug
on the charger;
b. that the extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition;
c. that the wire size is large enough for the AC
ampere rating of charger.
