2 PREPARING TO CHARGE
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle before charging, ensure that the vehicle is off before disconnecting the
2.1
battery. When disconnecting, always remove the negative battery connection first. Ensure that the environment around the
battery and charger is well ventilated.
Clean the battery terminals (Be careful to keep any dislodged corrosion away from your skin and eyes). If needed, add distilled
2.2
water to each battery cell until the acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas
from the cells. Do not overfill. Carefully read and follow the vehicle and battery manufacturer's recharging instructions. Specific
precautions, such as removing or not removing the cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge should be
followed.
Determine the voltage of the battery, according to the vehicle's or battery manufacturer and ensure it matches the output
2.3
characteristics of the battery charger.
3 CHARGER LOCATION AND CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Place the charger as far away from battery as the cables permit. Never place the charger directly above the battery being
3.1
charged, or vice versa. Gases from the battery will damage the charger, never allow battery acid to drip on the charger.
Do not operate the charger in a closed area or without adequate ventilation.
3.2
The charger must be disconnected from the AC supply before connecting or disconnecting from a battery.
3.3
Never allow the clamps or output terminals to touch each other creating a short circuit.
3.4
If problems arise connecting the output leads, solicit the aid of your Dealer to find a solution for your application.

4 STEPS WHEN A BATTERY IS INSTALLED INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR A BATTERY MAY BE DANGEROUS. HOW TO REDUCE THIS RISK:
Ensure that any cables are far from moving parts or pinch points when using the charger.
4.1
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and any other parts that could cause personal injury.
4.2
Ensure that the polarity of the connections is correct: the POSITIVE (Red, POS., P, +) post usually has a larger diameter than
4.3
the NEGATIVE (Black, NEG., N, -). If you are unsure, use a voltmeter to check the terminal polarities.
Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to chassis ; For negative-grounded vehicles, first connect the
4.4
POSITIVE clamp to the POSITIVE (POS., P, +) ungrounded terminal of battery. Then connect the NEGATIVE clamp to the
vehicle's chassis or engine block away from the battery.
Do not connect the charger to any part of the vehicle other than the battery terminals or negative ground post.
4.5
Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet
4.6
When disconnecting charger, turn the charger off, disconnect the charger from the AC power, remove the clamp from the chassis,
4.7
and then remove the clamp connected to the battery terminal. See operating instructions for duration of charge information.
