Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gases b. can be forcefully blown away, by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material such as a fan. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with c. eyes. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery d. manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not e. removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge. Determinate voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure f. that output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate. CHARGER LOCATION13. Locate charger as far away from battery as the DC cable permits.a. Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will b. corrode and damage charger. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.c. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.d. Do not set a battery on top of charger.e. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS14. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting any charger switches to a. off position and removing AC cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other. Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15 (e), 15 (f), 16 (b), and 16 b. (d). Follow these steps when battery is installed in vehicle. A spark near battery may cause 15. battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near battery: Position AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by hood, door, or moving a. engine parts. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to b. persons. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has c. larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. Determine which battery post is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative d. post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f). For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger e. to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect 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 positive-grounded vehicle, only connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery f. 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 the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block. When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip g. from vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal. See operating instructions for length of charge information.h. Follow these steps when battery is outside vehicle. A spark near battery may cause 16. battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near battery: Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a. larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE b. (NEG, N, -) battery post. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.c. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible- then d. connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of the cable. Do not face battery when making final connection. e. When disconnecting charger, always do so in the reverse sequence of connecting f. procedure and break first connection while as far away from the battery as practical. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on g. board requires equipment specially designed for marine use. Save these Instructions Specific Safety Rules for the Battery Charger Maintain labels and nameplates on the Battery Charger. These carry important information. 1. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. 2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the Battery Charger. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight Tools. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there 3. is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this pr...
