Charger Location; Dc Connection Precautions - Fronius Acctiva easy 1202 Mode D'emploi

e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.

13. CHARGER LOCATION

a) Locate charger as far away from battery as do 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.

14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

a) Connect and disconnect do output clips only after setting any charger switches to off position and
removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection.
This tends to keep clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking
15. 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 (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block
away from battery. Do not connect clip 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) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Con-
nect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chas-
sis, and then remove clip from battery terminal
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information
16. 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) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery
post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first
connection while as far away from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equip-
ment specially designed for marine use.
