Dc Connection Precautions - CEN-TECH 59000 Owner's Manual

d. If battery acid contacts skin or
clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running
cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
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 lead-
acid battery. A lead-acid battery can
produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
h. Use Maintainer for charging Gel,
LEAD-ACID or
Mat (AGM)
intended to supply power to a low
voltage electrical system other than
in a starter-motor application. Do not
use battery Maintainer 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.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
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 manufacturer's
specific precautions while charging
and recommended rates of charge.
f. Determine voltage of battery by
referring to vehicle owner's manual
and make sure it matches output
rating of battery Maintainer.
g. Do not place Maintainer or electrical
connections on ground or floor.
13. MAINTAINER LOCATION
a. Locate Maintainer as far away from
battery as DC cables permit.
b. Never place Maintainer directly
above battery being charged;
gases from battery will corrode
and damage Maintainer.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on
Maintainer when reading electrolyte
specific gravity or filling battery.
d. Do not operate Maintainer in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on
top of Maintainer.

14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

a. Connect and disconnect DC output
clips only after 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).
