OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING TO CHARGE
a. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause
an arc.
b. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
c. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e. Study all the battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure that output
voltage is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially
at lowest rate.
CHARGER LOCATION
a. Locate charger as far away from battery as output cables permit.
b. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode
and damage charger.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery,
d. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area, or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
f. Locate the charger at least 18" above the floor.
g. Do not place the charger where rain, snow, or other moisture could drip on it.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a. Connect and disconnect DC output clamps only after setting any charger switches to off
position and removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never allow clamps to touch each other.
b. Attach clamps to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a
good connection. This tends to keep the clamps from slipping off terminals and helps to
reduce risk of sparking.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
a. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
d. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see item "e". If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see item "f".
e. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp from battery charger to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp to
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clamp to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine
block.
g. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
h. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
a. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
c. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to free end of cable.
d. Do not face battery when making final connection.
e. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break the first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
f. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER. Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric
shock.
LENGTH OF CHARGE
The following instruction will allow you to determine how long it will take to bring a specific
battery to full charge.
a. Test the battery for state of charger with a hydrometer or electronic percent-of-charge tester.
