C. BATTERY CHARGER
A battery charger produces a direct current (DC). When applied
to a discharged battery, this reverses the chemical reaction that
led to its discharge.
1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:
• Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte tempera-
ture, and; internal condition.
• The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if
the alternating current (AC) supply is higher or lower than
110 volts).
2. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Charger:
• Never place the charger on top of a battery during charging.
(Gases from the battery can damage the charger and may
lead to an explosion or fire).
• Never place a battery on top of the charger.
• Never expose charger to rain or snow.
• Never unplug charger by pulling on the electrical cord. This
will damage the cord.
• Never open a charger or attempt to repair it yourself.
Return charger to Sunrise or have repairs made only by a
qualified person.
• Keep cord out of the way, where it will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or damaged.
3. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Battery:
• Make sure you use the correct setting for sealed (gel) bat-
teries (located on the off-board charger).
• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will
rarely freeze, but the fluid in a discharged battery can freeze
at 16 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 9 degrees Centigrade). If
you suspect a battery is frozen, thaw it before charging.
D. CONNECTING BATTERIES IN THE BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
1. Batteries weigh up to 55 lbs. (25 kg). Take care to avoid
injury when lifting.
2. Keep batteries upright.
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you han-
dle batteries.
4. Before working around batteries, remove all metal personal
effects, such as necklaces, rings, watches, pins and other
metal jewelry that might contact battery terminal and cause
a short.
5. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution.
Connect the positive lead to the positive terminal and the
negative lead to the negative terminal. Do this for each
battery.
6. Tighten all terminal fasteners using two 1/2" box end
wrenches to 60 in-lbs (6.8 N.m).
7. Place the battery compartment lid on power base.
8. To charge batteries, use the off-board charger by plugging
off-board charger plug into the off-board charger socket.

1. Fire or sparks
a. Never smoke or hold an open flame near batteries.
2. Protect your skin and clothes
a. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you han-
dle batteries.
3. Corrosion:
Check battery terminals often for corrosion.
a. If corrosion is present, use a wire brush to clean the termi-
nals.
b. Use petroleum jelly to re-grease the terminals after connect-
ing cable to battery. (Completely cover the terminal nut and
bolt, cable clip and any exposed cable with jelly).
4. For Answers To Questions about batteries: Contact your
authorized dealer.
F. DISPOSING OF BATTERIES
1. All batteries once they have reached the end of their useful
life are deemed to be hazardous waste.
2. For further information on handling and recycling contact
your local recycling authority.
3. Always dispose of product through a recognized agent.
