PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIOUS

Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working near lead-acid batteries.
Always have someone nearby for help.
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery
acid contacts your eyes, skins, or clothing. Wash immediately with soda and water
and seek medical attention.
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum
of 10 minutes and get medical attention.
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to cleanup.
Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a
ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove
the grounded terminal first.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 230 volt circuit.
Using an extension cord
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Preparing to Charge

1. Determine voltage of battery to be maintained by referring to the vehicle manual.
2. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminal,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in
the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
3. Clean battery terminals. Do not allow corrosion to come in contact with eyes.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's
charging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.
6. Remove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined area before
charging. Area around battery should be well ventilated while battery is being
charged. Do not operate while an enclosed area.
