IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 1.1 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. 1.2 Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. 1.3 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
1.11 Pursuant to California Proposition 65, this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. 1.12 Keep out of reach of children. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 2.1 Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
3.4 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. 3.5 Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
6.4 Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (6.5). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (6.6). 6.5 For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS 8.1 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
10. FEATURES 1. LED indicators: POWER (red) CHARGING (yellow/orange) CHARGED (green) 2. Battery clamp quick-connect 3. Ring terminal quick-connect 4. Quick-connect connector 11. CONTROL PANEL LED INDICATORS POWER (red) LED lit: There is AC power supplied to the battery charger. CHARGING (yellow/orange) LED lit: The charger is charging the battery.
