f)
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g)
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h)
Use charger for charging a Lead-Acid/AGM/Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)
battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell
batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst
and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i)
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12) PREPARING TO CHARGE
a)
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove 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.
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. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
e)
Study all battery manufacturers 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 selector switch is set at correct voltage. Do not use the battery charger
unless battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger.
13) CHARGER LOCATION
a)
Locate charger as far away from battery as dc 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 electrolyte specific 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 dc 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 and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through
16(d).
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.
