Personal Precautions

1. Wear complete eye protection and clothing

protection. Avoid touching eyes when working near
batteries.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby, in

case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

3. Someone should be within range of your voice or

close enough to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash

immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for
15—30 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.

5. Batteries generate explosive gases! NEVER smoke

or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or
engine. Always operate battery charger in an open,
well ventilated area.

6. Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It might

spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
part that may cause an explosion.

7. Remove personal metal items such as rings,

bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
near a lead-acid battery.

8. Use the battery charger for charging LEAD-ACID

batteries only. The charger is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system other than
in a starter-motor application. Do not use the
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons or
damage to property.

9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

10. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when

reading specific gravity or filling battery.

11. Never set battery on top of battery charger.

Battery Charger Connection Precautions

CAUTION: Connect and disconnect DC
clamps only after removing AC cord from

Never allow battery charger clamps to touch
each other.

Do not connect both battery charger clamps
directly to the battery.

1. Locate battery charger as far from battery as cables

permit.

2. When connecting battery charger, attach one clamp

to battery and the other clamp to a grounding point
away from the battery.

3. Read the Controls and Operation section before

connecting the battery charger.

4. When connecting each clamp, rock or twist the

clamp back and forth several times to make a good
connection. Do not twist or rock the first clamp after
the second clamp has been connected.
