
read the vehicle handbook to check for any specific battery charging information.
 Disconnect the battery from the vehicle and move it to a safe, dry, level area for charging. If the battery can not be removed from the
vehicle refer to manufacturer’s handbook.

check the electrolyte fluid level in the battery is above the plates. If not, add distilled water to cover them by 5-10mm. DO NOT touch
the battery fluid as it is corrosive.

clean the charger clamps and battery terminals, removing any oxidation before connecting the charger to the battery.

Ensure that the correct polarity clamp is attached to the correct terminal of the battery. PosItIVE is indicated by (+) and may be red,
nEGAtIVE is indicated by (-) and may be black. If there are no identifiable symbols, you can distinguish the nEGAtIVE battery terminal
as the one which is connected from the battery directly to the vehicle body.

remove the battery electrolyte cover or caps to allow the gases produced by charging to escape.

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

DO NOT attempt to charge a non-rechargeable battery.

DO NOT use the charger for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the charger.
 DO NOT allow the charger terminal clamps to touch each other when the power is on or the charger fuse will blow. remember that
gases are produced which may ignite if sparks occur.

DO NOT place the charger inside the vehicle. remove the battery to a safe distance for charging.

DO NOT get the charger wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

DO NOT operate the charger if it is damaged.

DO NOT attempt to open or modify the charger.

When not in use, unplug from the mains power supply and store in a safe, dry, child proof area.
 WARNING! Be vigilant and cautious during battery charging as the electrolyte is highly corrosive and the gases emitted are flammable
and harmful to health.

1.4. PERSONAL PREcAUTIONS

Ensure that there is another person within hearing of your voice and close enough to come to your aid,
should a problem arise when working near a lead-acid battery.

Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool,
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring to metal, which would cause severe burns.

Ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of the engine. remove ties and
contain long hair.

DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
this appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers and the manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
