Preparing To Charge - Power Fist 8959850 Manuel De L'utilisateur

•
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a
minimum of 10 minutes and get medical attention.
•
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to
clean up. Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.
•
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always
remove the grounded terminal first.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. Determine voltage of battery to be maintained by referring to the vehicle
manual.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean
terminal, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Clean battery terminals. Do not allow corrosion to come in contact with
eyes.
4. 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 (maintenance free), carefully follow
manufacturer's charging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or
not removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.
