4.3 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result
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 char-
ger;
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 as specied in the following table.

5.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the
charger cables permit.
5.2 Never place the charger directly above the battery being
charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage
the charger.
5.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when tak-
ing gravity readings or lling a battery.
5.4 Operate the charger only in a well-ventilated area that is
free of dangerous vapors.
5.5 Store the charger in safe, dry location and maintain it in
perfect condition.
5.6 Do not set the battery on top of the charger or where its
acid might drip onto the charger.

6.1 All switches should be set in the OFF position and AC cord
should be DISCONNECTED from electrical outlet before
you connect and disconnect the charger clamps. Never al-
low the clamps to touch each other.
6.2 When attaching the charger clamps, be certain to make
the best possible mechanical as well as electrical connec-
tion. This will tend to prevent the clamps from slipping o
the connections, avoid dangerous sparking, and assure
safer and more ecient charging. The clamps should be
kept clean.

Setting the switches to “OFF” does
not always disconnect the charger
electrical circuit from the AC power
cord or the DC charger clamps.

7.1 Before working on the vehicle, rmly apply the emergency
brake and place the gear shift to NEUTRAL—shift an auto-
matic transmission to PARK.
7.2 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the
charger cords permit and position the AC and DC cords to
avoid stepping on or tripping over them and to prevent
damage by hood, doors, or moving engine parts.
7.3 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts
that can cause physical injury.
