Facilité d'utilisation
If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f". e. For negative-grounded vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis, heavy gauge metal part of the frame, or engine block, away from the battery. Do not connect to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts. f. For positive-grounded vehicles, Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of the battery. Attach the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. g. When disconnecting the charger, turn the switch to OFF, disconnect the AC cord, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal. h. See the operating instructions for length of charge information. 18. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: a. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. b. Attach at least a 24 inch long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post. c. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clamp to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery. d. Position yourself and the free end of the cable as far away from the battery as possible, then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of cable. e. Do not face the battery when making the final connection. f. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure, and break the first connection while standing as far away from the battery as practical. g. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use. 19. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. This charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in FIGURE (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in FIGURE (C), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in FIGURE (B), until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. DANGER. Before using an adapter as illustrated, be certain that the center screw of the outlet plate is grounded. The green- colored rigid ear or lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to the outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet. NOTE: USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. 2 3 20. LENGTH OF CHARGE a. Test the battery for state of charge. Do not charge if it is over 75% charged or the battery is determined to be defective. b. Set beginning amps charge rate for size of battery and state of charge per charts c. Charge for length of time per charge, d. Discontinue charge when the specific gravity of electrolyte reaches 1.260 or above. A temperature compensating hydrometer should be used for this reading. Discontinue charge if the battery begins to gas excessively or when the temperature of the electrolyte reaches approximately 120EF. Do not overcharge batteries. Overcharging results in excessive water loss and eventual damage to the battery. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove the four screws from the back of charger and attach the handle in an upright position. 2. Remove the three screws on the bottom toward the front of the charger and attach the leg with the screws provided. 3. Put one of the axle nut on one side of the axle by tapping the nut on with a hammer. Then slide the axle through one of the wheels and then through the hole in the charger until it comes out the other end. Put the other wheel and axle nut on. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION - This battery charger must be fully assembled before operating. Failure to do so may result in risk of injury. TO CHARGE BATTERIES Set the switch to the OFF po...
