IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE1.

INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and

operating instructions

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.

Keep out of reach of children.1.1

Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.1.2

Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment1.3

not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer

may result in a risk of re, electric shock or injury to persons or

damage to property.

To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by1.4

the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely1.5

necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a

risk of re and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used,

make sure:

That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same•

number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.

That the extension cord is properly wired and in good•

electrical condition.

That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of•

the charger as specied in section 8.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the1.6

outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply

turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have1.7

the cord or plug replaced immediately by a qualied service

person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-732-7764.)

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been1.8

dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualied

service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-732-7764.)

Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualied service 1.9

person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly

may result in a risk of re or electric shock. (Call customer

service at: 1-800-732-7764.)

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS1.10

DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES

DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS

REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE

THE CHARGER.

To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these1.11

instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer

and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the

vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these

products and on the engine.

This charger employs parts, such as switches and circuit1.12

breakers, that tend to produce arcs and sparks. If used in a

garage, locate this charger 18 inches or more above oor level.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS2.

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of a 2.1

battery or engine.

Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,2.2

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.

Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool2.3

onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or

other electrical part that may cause an explosion.

Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is2.4

not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system

other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use this battery

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 property.

NEVER charge a frozen battery.2.5

NEVER overcharge a battery.2.6

Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid2.7

when you work near a lead-acid battery.

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid2.8

contacts your skin, clothing or eyes.

Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety2.9

goggles and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while

working near the battery.

If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately2.10

wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye,

immediately ood the eye with cold running water for at least 10

minutes and get medical attention right away.

If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of2.11

eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical

attention immediately.

PREPARING TO CHARGE3.

RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.

BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE

SULFURIC ACID.

If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to3.1

charge it, always remove the grounded terminal rst. Make sure

all of the accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent arcing.

Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the3.2

battery is being charged.

Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During3.3

cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact

with your eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to

neutralize the battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion.

Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the3.4

level specied by the battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For

a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated

lead acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer’s

recharging instructions.

Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger,3.5

battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery

and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturer’s specic

precautions while charging and recommended rates

of charge.

Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle3.6

owner’s manual and make sure that the output voltage selector

switch is set to the correct voltage. If the charger has an

adjustable charge rate, charge the battery in the lowest rate rst.

Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.3.7

CHARGER LOCATION4.

RISK OF EXPLOSION

AND CONTACT WITH

BATTERY ACID.

Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC4.1

cables permit.

Never place the charger directly above the battery being4.2

charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage

the charger.

Do not set the battery on top of the charger.4.3

Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading4.4

the electrolyte specic gravity or lling the battery.

Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the4.5

ventilation in any way.

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS5.

Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting5.1

all of the charger switches to the “off” position (if applicable) and

removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet. Never allow the

clips to touch each other.

Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in5.2

sections 6 and 7.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED6.

IN VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY

MAY CAUSE A BATTERY

EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE

RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE

BATTERY:

NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM

Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage6.1

by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it

is necessary to close the hood during the charging process,

ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery

clips or cut the insulation of the cables.

Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can6.2

cause injury.

Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS,6.3

P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter then the

NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to6.4

the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as

in most vehicles), see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded

to the chassis, see step 6.6.

For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE6.5

(RED) clip from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS,

P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE

(BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from

the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines

or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part

of the frame or engine block.

For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE6.6

(BLACK) clip from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG,

N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE

(RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the

battery. Do not connect the clip to the carburetor, fuel lines or

sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of

the frame or engine block.

Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet.6.7

When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off (if6.8

applicable), disconnect the AC cord, remove the clip from the

vehicle chassis and then remove the clip from the

battery terminal.
