PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear complete eye and clothing
protection when working with lead-
acid batteries.
• Make sure that someone is within
range of your voice to come to your
aid if needed while you work with or
are near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby for use in case battery acid
contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. If
this happens, wash immediately with
soap and water. Then get medical at-
tention.
• Avoid touching your eyes while
working with a battery. Acid particles
(corrosion) may get into your eyes. If
this occurs, ush eyes immediately
with running cold water for at least 10
minutes. Then immediately get medi-
cal attention.
• Remove all personal metal items
from your body such as rings, brace-
lets, necklaces and watches, while
working with a lead-acid battery. A bat-
tery can produce a short circuit current
high enough to weld a ring (or the like)
to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Take care not to drop any metal tool
or metal object onto the battery. This
may spark or short circuit the battery
or another electrical device that may
cause an explosion.
• Always operate the battery charger in
an open, well-ventilated area.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or ame
in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
Batteries generate explosive gases.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly
with baking soda before attempting to
clean up.
BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER
It is important to understand your charger's requirements. This section will tell you about
your charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.
PLUGGING IT IN
Your charger requires a 120V AC 2-prong
wall outlet receptacle installed according
to all local codes and ordinances.
ASSEMBLING YOUR CHARGER
Included with your battery charger are two
cord wrap cleats for storage of the clamp
cables.
To install, align the two tabs to correspond
with the two receptacles and push until you
hear a snap.
Wrap clamp cables after unplugging the
power cord from the AC wall outlet and
store your charger in a dry location.
