3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while
working near a battery.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
battery acid enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part and cause an explosion.
7. 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.
8. Use the battery charger for charging gel-cell, AGM or flooded lead-acid batteries only.
Do not use the charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to prop-
erty.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
3. 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, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
4. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
GROUNDING AND a.c. POWER CORD CONNECTION
1. The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock.
