BATTERY HANDLING

WARNING
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
• Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away from
battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
• INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY - disconnect
negative cable from old battery first and
connect to new battery last.
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove battery
from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then
positive cable and battery clamp. When reinstalling,
connect negative cable last. Keep well ventilated.
• USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery first
then connect negative lead to engine foot.
BATTERY ACID CAN BURN EYES AND SKIN.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and be
careful when working near battery. Follow
instructions printed on battery.
PREVENTING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE
1. When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting the battery
to the battery cables, the proper polarity must be observed.
Failure to observe the proper polarity could result in damage to
the charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable has a red
terminal cover.
2. If the battery requires charging from an external charger,
disconnect the negative battery cable first and then the positive
battery cable before attaching the charger leads. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the internal charger components.
When reconnecting the cables, connect the positive cable first
and the negative cable last.
PREVENTING BATTERY DISCHARGE
Turn the RUN/STOP switch to stop when engine is not running.
PREVENTING BATTERY BUCKLING
Tighten nuts on battery clamp until snug.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise connect battery
cables to the battery, be sure the polarity is correct. Improper
polarity can damage the charging circuit. The AIR VANTAGE
(AU) CUMMINS positive (+) battery terminal has a red terminal
cover.
If you need to charge the battery with an external charger,
disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable before
you attach the charger leads.
After the battery is charged, reconnect the positive battery cable
first and the negative cable last. Failure to do so can result in
damage to the internal charger
components.
Follow the instructions of the battery charger manufacturer for
proper charger settings and charging time.
