10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY IS 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.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow
these instructions and those published by
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary marking
on these products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Consider having someone close
enough by to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c. Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame
in vicinity of battery or engine.
f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping
a metal tool onto battery. It might spark
or short-circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion.
g. Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, 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.

Sometimes conditions such as a cold battery, a sulfated battery, or a deeply discharged lead calcium
battery may cause Charge Meter to read near a full charge when charging process is only beginning.
M&$*- The Charge Meter shows the amount of current being drawn from the charger. It does not show what the
charger is capable of delivering. When the battery is fully charged and registering 100% on the Charge Meter,
a small charge will continue to move from the charger to the battery. If the charger is not disconnected from the
battery, eventually heat build up will cause the battery acid to boil and overcharge the battery causing damage to
the battery. Monitor battery charging progress constantly and if battery gets warm, stop charging it immediately.

10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY IS 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.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow
these instructions and those published by
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary marking
on these products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Consider having someone close
enough by to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c. Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame
in vicinity of battery or engine.
f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping
a metal tool onto battery. It might spark
or short-circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion.
g. Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, 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.
Page 4 <&(%$*4.8"4,7%H'*#$"&8#I%/7*,#*%4,77%JKLLLKLMMKNOPO1 Item 60653
?@<6AQ RS6;@ACRE D@CEA6E@ET6?S6TC<CT@ACRE?
h. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery
only. It is not intended to supply power to a
low voltage electrical system other than in a
starter-motor application. Do not use 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.
i. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. 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 area around 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 while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
f. Charge battery initially at lowest rate.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a. Locate charger as far away from
battery as DC cables permit.
b. Never place 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. Do not operate charger in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a. Connect and disconnect DC output clips only
after removing AC cord from electric outlet.
Never allow clips to touch each other.
b. Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated
in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY
IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR

TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a. Position AC and DC cables 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. Determine which 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)
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.
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 AC cord,
remove clip from vehicle chassis, and
then remove clip from battery terminal.
h. See operating instructions for
length of charge information.
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY
IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY 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.

Sometimes conditions such as a cold battery, a sulfated battery, or a deeply discharged lead calcium
battery may cause Charge Meter to read near a full charge when charging process is only beginning.
E&$*- The Charge Meter shows the amount of current being drawn from the charger. It does not show what the
charger is capable of delivering. When the battery is fully charged and registering 100% on the Charge Meter,
a small charge will continue to move from the charger to the battery. If the charger is not disconnected from the
battery, eventually heat build up will cause the battery acid to boil and overcharge the battery causing damage to
the battery. Monitor battery charging progress constantly and if battery gets warm, stop charging it immediately.

1. 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.
2. Make sure area around battery is well
ventilated while battery is being charged.
3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep
corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
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.
5. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
6. Charge battery initially at lowest rate.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and
charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use.

1. Locate charger as far away from
battery as DC cables permit.
2. Never place charger directly above
battery being charged; gases from battery
will corrode and damage charger.
3. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when
reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
4. Do not operate charger in a closed-in
area or restrict ventilation in any way.
5. Do not set a battery on top of charger.

1. Position AC and DC cables to reduce risk of
damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and
other parts that can cause injury to persons.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
4. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see 5.
If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see 6.
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect
POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery.
Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery.

Note: The Charge Meter shows the amount of
current being drawn from the charger. It does not
show what the charger is capable of delivering.
When the battery is fully charged and registering 100%
on the Charge Meter, a small charge will continue to
move from the charger to the battery. If the charger
is not disconnected from the battery, eventually
heat build up will cause the battery acid to boil and
overcharge the battery causing damage to the battery.
Monitor battery charging progress constantly and
if battery gets warm, stop charging it immediately.

1. De ser necesario extraer la batería del vehículo
para cargarla, siempre quite primero de la batería
el terminal con conexión a tierra. Asegúrese
de que todos los accesorios del vehículo estén
apagados, para no generar un arco voltaico.
2. Asegúrese de que el área que rodea a la batería
esté bien ventilada mientras carga la batería.
3. Limpie las terminales de la batería. Sea cuidadoso y
evite que la corrosión entre en contacto con los ojos.
4. Agregue agua destilada en cada celda hasta que
el ácido de la batería llegue al nivel especificado por
el fabricante de la batería.
No supere el límite máximo. En el caso de
las baterías cuyas celdas no poseen tapones
extraíbles, como las baterías de plomo-ácido
reguladas por válvula, siga cuidadosamente las
instrucciones del fabricante para la recarga.
5. Analice todas las precauciones específicas
indicadas por el fabricante de la batería
relativas al proceso de carga, y no supere
las tasas de carga recomendadas.
6. Inicialmente, cargue la batería a
la tasa más baja de carga.
7. Las baterías náuticas (embarcaciones)
deben extraerse y cargarse en tierra firme.

g. Quítese cualquier artículo personal de metal,
como anillos, brazaletes, collares y relojes
cuando trabaje con una batería de plomo-ácido.
Una batería de plomo-ácido puede generar una
corriente de cortocircuito lo suficientemente alta
como para soldar un anillo o elemento similar
al metal, y causar, así, una grave quemadura.
h. Utilice el cargador para cargar únicamente
baterías de PLOMO-ÁCIDO. El cargador no debe
utilizarse para suministrar energía eléctrica a un
sistema eléctrico de bajo voltaje que se utilice
para aplicaciones que no sean las de un motor
de arranque. No utilice el cargador de baterías
para cargar las baterías secas que generalmente
se utilizan con los electrodomésticos. Esas
baterías pueden estallar y causar lesiones
a las personas y daños a la propiedad.
i. NUNCA cargue una batería helada.
12. PREPARATIVOS PARA LA CARGA
a. De ser necesario extraer la batería del vehículo
para cargarla, siempre quite primero de la batería
el terminal con conexión a tierra. Asegúrese
de que todos los accesorios del vehículo estén
apagados, para no generar un arco voltaico.
b. Asegúrese de que el área que rodea a la batería
esté bien ventilada mientras carga la batería.
c. Limpie los terminales de la batería.
Sea cuidadoso y evite que la corrosión
entre en contacto con los ojos.
d. Agregue agua destilada en cada celda hasta
que el ácido de la batería llegue al nivel
especificado por el fabricante de la batería.
No supere el límite máximo. En el caso de
las baterías cuyas celdas no poseen tapones
extraíbles, como las baterías de plomo-ácido
reguladas por válvula, siga cuidadosamente las
instrucciones del fabricante para la recarga.
e. Analice todas las precauciones específicas
indicadas por el fabricante de la batería
relativas al proceso de carga, y no supere
las tasas de carga recomendadas.
f. Inicialmente, cargue la batería a
la tasa más baja de carga.
13. UBICACIÓN DEL CARGADOR
a. Coloque el cargador tan lejos de la batería
como los cables de CC lo permitan.
b. Nunca coloque el cargador directamente
encima de la batería que está siendo
cargada; de lo contrario, los gases de la
batería corroerán y dañarán el cargador.
c. Nunca permita que el ácido de la batería
gotee sobre el cargador mientras realiza
la lectura de la gravedad específica
del electrolito o llena la batería.
d. No opere el cargador en áreas
cerradas ni restrinja la ventilación.
e. No coloque la batería encima del cargador.
14. PRECAUCIONES PARA LA CONEXIÓN A CC
a. Conecte y desconecte las pinzas de salida
de CC únicamente después de quitar el
cable de CA del enchufe. Nunca permita
que las pinzas entren en contacto.
b. Conecte las pinzas a la batería y al chasis como
se indica en 15(e), 15(f), y 16(b) a 16(d).
15. SIGA ESTOS PASOS CUANDO LA BATERÍA
ESTÉ INSTALADA EN EL VEHÍCULO. UNA
CHISPA CERCA DE LA BATERÍA PODRÍA
HACER QUE ÉSTA EXPLOTE. PARA
REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE QUE SE GENEREN
CHISPAS CERCA DE LA BATERÍA:
a. Coloque los cables de CA y CC de modo tal
de reducir el riesgo de daños causados por el
capó, la puerta o alguna pieza móvil del motor.
b. Manténgase alejado de aspas de ventilador,
correas, poleas y otras piezas que puedan
causar lesiones a las personas.
c. Verifique la polaridad de los bornes de la
batería. El borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) de la
batería generalmente tiene un diámetro mayor
que el del borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N,–).
d. Determine qué borne de la batería posee
conexión a tierra (está conectado) al chasis. Si el
borne negativo está conectado al chasis (como
sucede en la mayoría de los vehículos), vea (e). Si
el borne positivo está conectado al chasis, vea (f).
e. En el caso de un vehículo que tenga el borne
negativo conectado a tierra, conecte la pinza
POSITIVA (ROJA) del cargador de baterías
al borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) no conectado
a tierra de la batería. Conecte la pinza
NEGATIVA (NEGRA) al chasis o al bloque
del motor del vehículo, lejos de la batería.
No conecte la pinza al carburador, a tuberías
de combustible o a piezas de chapa de la
carrocería. Conecte a una pieza de metal de
alto calibre del bastidor o del bloque del motor.
f. En el caso de un vehículo que tenga el
borne positivo conectado a tierra, conecte la
pinza NEGATIVA (NEGRA) del cargador de
baterías al borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, –) no
conectado a tierra de la batería. Conecte la
pinza POSITIVA (ROJA) al chasis o al bloque
del motor del vehículo, lejos de la batería.
No conecte la pinza al carburador, a tuberías
de combustible o a piezas de chapa de la
carrocería. Conecte a una pieza de metal de
alto calibre del bastidor o del bloque del motor.
g. Al desconectar el cargador, desconecte el cable
de CA, quite la pinza del chasis del vehículo y
luego retire la pinza de la terminal de la batería.
h. Para obtener información sobre
el tiempo de carga, consulte las
instrucciones para la operación.
16. SIGA ESTOS PASOS CUANDO LA BATERÍA ESTÉ
FUERA DEL VEHÍCULO. UNA CHISPA CERCA
DE LA BATERÍA PODRÍA HACER QUE ÉSTA
EXPLOTE. PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE QUE
SE GENEREN CHISPAS CERCA DE LA BATERÍA:
a. Verifique la polaridad de los bornes de la
batería. El borne POSITIVO (POS, P, +) de la
batería generalmente tiene un diámetro mayor
que el del borne NEGATIVO (NEG, N, –).
b. Conecte un cable de batería con aislante
que tenga al menos 24 pulgadas de
longitud y calibre americano 6 al borne
NEGATIVO (NEG, N, –) de la batería.

* Si la potencia nominal de entrada de un cargador está indicada
en vatios y no en amperios, la potencia nominal correspondiente
en amperios debe determinarse dividiendo la potencia nominal de
vatios por la potencia nominal de voltaje – por ejemplo:
1250 vatios/125 voltios= 10 amperios
6. No opere el cargador si el cable o el enchufe
están dañados; reemplace el cable o el enchufe
de inmediato.
7. No opere el cargador si éste ha recibido un golpe
fuerte, si se ha caído o ha sufrido algún otro
daño; hágalo revisar por un técnico calificado.
8. No desarme el cargador; cuando sea
necesario repararlo o hacerle tareas de
