Model:
Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or
electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure
that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger,
as specified below:
Length of cord (feet):
AWG size of cord:
(American Wire Gauge)
11. Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.
NEVER operate in a closed-in or restricted area without
adequate ventilation because of risk of explosive gases.
WARNING: Risk of explosive gas.
12. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger
cables permit.
13. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
14. NEVER charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte)
is frozen, bring into a warm area to thaw before charging.
15. NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
specific gravity or filling battery.
16. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.
17. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING BATTERY IN VEHICLE When charging battery in the vehicle, take care to determine the battery type and which post is grounded (connected to vehicle chas- sis). To reduce risk of a spark near battery, follow these steps when battery is installed in vehicle. WARNING: A spark near battery may cause battery explosion. 1. Position AC power cord and DC charging cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts. 2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury. 3. 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. -

Antes de usar su cargador de acumuladores, lea todas las instrucciones y precauciones impresas en: • el cargador de acumuladores • el acumulador • el vehículo o la unidad usando el acumulador. 2. Use el cargador de acumuladores únicamente con acumuladores recargables de ACIDO DE PLOMO, tales como los de automóviles, ca- miones, tractores, aviones, camionetas, vehículos recreativos, motores de embarcaciones de pesca con anzuelos remolcados, etc. El cargador no está diseñado para alimentar corriente a sistemas eléctricos de baja tensión que no sean de usos automotrices. ADVERTENCIA: No use el cargador de acumuladores para cargar pilas secas comúnmente usadas en aparatos hogareños. Estas pilas pueden reventar y causar lesiones a personas y daños a propiedades. 3. Unicamente use accesorios recomendados o vendidos por el fabri- cante. El uso de accesorios no recomendados puede causar incendios, choques eléctricos o lesiones.
- Page 8 de chispas cerca del acumulador, siga estos pasos cuando el acumulador está instalado en el vehículo. ADVERTENCIA: Una chispa cerca del acumulador puede causar la explosión del acumulador. 1. Coloque el cordón de corriente alterna y los cables de carga de corriente continua de manera que se reduzcan los riesgos de dañar el cofre, las puertas o piezas movibles del motor. 2. Manténgase alejado del ventilador, las bandas, las poleas y otras partes que puedan causar lesiones. 3. Verifique la polaridad de los terminales del acumulador. La caja estará marcada junto a cada terminal: POSITIVO (POS, P, +) y NEGATIVO (NEG, N, -). NOTA: El terminal positivo del acumulador normalmente es de mayor diámetro que el negativo. 4. Determine cuál terminal es el de tierra (conectado al chasis). NOTA: El terminal negativo normalmente está puesto a tierra. TERMINAL NEGATIVO A TIERRA 5A. Para vehículos con tierra negativa, conecte la pinza POSITIVA (ROJA) desde el cargador de acumuladores al terminal POSITIVO (POS, P, +) que no está conectado a tierra. Conecte la pinza NEGATIVA (NEGRA)
