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 areaaround battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
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 such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended
rates of charge.
0 Determinevoltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual. Donot use the battery charger unless battery voltage matches the
output voltage rating of the charger.
CHARGER
LOCATION:
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b) Neverplace charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Donot operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
FOLLOW THESE STEPSWHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door,or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE ( NEG,N,-) post.
d) Determinewhich post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most
vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED)clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS,P,+) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect NEGATIVE ( BLACK) c lip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Donot connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or
sheet-metal body parts Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE ( BLACK)clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE ( NEG, N , -) ungrounded post of
battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED)Clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel
lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, disconnect ACcord, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal
FOLLOW
THESE STEPS WHEN
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N , -) post.
b)Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG)insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE ( NEG, N , -) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED)charger clip to POSITIVE (POS,P,+) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible —then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) c harger clip to
free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far
away from battery as practical.
g)A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. Tocharge it on board requires equipment specially designed
for marine use.
NOTE: THE OUTPUT CLIPS OR RING TERMINALS
PRODUCE AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE.
If the charger is hooked up backwards, the LEDindicator will not change. The alligator clips or accessory ring
terminals must be connected to the battery, with the proper polarity, Red to Positive (+ output to + battery post)
and Black to Negative (- output to - battery post), before the charger will generate any output voltage.

  • Page 2 BATTERY OR A BATTERY WITH A VERY LOW VOLTAGE: If you try to charge a dead battery having a voltage below 4 Volts, the MOTOPOWER@ charger will not start. An internal safety circuit prevents the charger from generating any output voltage unless it senses at least 4 Volts at the charger output.
