Do not set the battery on top of the charger.4.3
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading 4.4
the electrolyte specic gravity or lling the battery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the 4.5
ventilation in any way.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS5.
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting 5.1
all of the charger switches to the “off” position (if applicable) and
removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the
clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in 5.2
sections 6 and 7.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED 6.
IN VEHICLE
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY:
Position the AC and DC cables 6.1
to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot
engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the
charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal
part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can 6.2
cause injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, 6.3
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter then the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to 6.4
the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as
in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded
to the chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE 6.5
(RED) clip from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from
the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines
