Preparing To Charge - NORAUTO 2223453 Mode D'emploi

PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, 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. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming 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, carefully follow manufacturers recharging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
6. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be force fully blown away by using a
piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material such as a fan.
7. Make sure the initial charging rate is not over battery manufacture suggestion.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING BATTERY IN VEHICLE
1. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,-)
post.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), 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 heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block
If positive post is grounded to the chassis, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEq 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. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine
block.
5. When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord first, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from
battery terminal.
6. Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
When charging battery out of vehicle, take care to determine the battery type. To reduce risk of a spark near battery, follow these
steps when battery is outside vehicle.
WARNING: A spark near the battery may cause battery explosion.
WARNING: When removing battery from vehicle or boat, disconnect grounded pole first. When disconnecting, make sure all
accessories are off, so as not to cause an arc.
NOTE: A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge on board requires special equipment
designed for marine use.)
WARNING: When reinstalling battery, attach the ground post first.
1. Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked by each post: POSITIVE (POS, P, +) and NEGATIVE (NEG; N, -).
NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger diameter than the negative post.
