eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level 3.4
specied by the battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without
removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead-acid-batteries, carefully
follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, 3.5
vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of
the battery manufacturer’s specic precautions while charging and recom-
mended rates of charge.
Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.3.6
CHARGER LOCATION4.
Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.4.1
Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases 4.2
from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Do not set the battery on top of the charger.4.3
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electro-4.4
lyte specic gravity or lling the battery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in 4.5
any way.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS5.
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after pressing the 5.1
START/STOP ( ) button to turn the output off and removing the AC plug
from the electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.6 5.2
and 7.2 through 7.4.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN 6.
VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLO-
SION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, 6.1
door and moving or hot engine parts.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause 6.2
injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery 6.3
post usually has a larger diameter then the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chas-6.4
sis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles),
see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
