Charger Location; Follow These Steps When Battery Is Installed In Vehicle - Schumacher Electric INC100 El Manual Del Propietario

3.2 If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always remove the grounded
terminal first. Make sure all of the accessories in the vehicle are off, to prevent arcing.
3.3 Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During 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.
3.4 Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery
manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead
acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer's recharging instructions.
3.5 Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment
used near the battery and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.6 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual.
3.7 Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.

total rated power greater than 1 kW. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
4.1 Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.
4.2 Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases from the battery will
corrode and damage the charger.
4.3 Do not set the battery on top of the charger.
4.4 Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electrolyte specific gravity or
filling the battery.

5. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE

A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
/!\ WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY :
5.1 Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage 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.
5.2 Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
5.3 Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
5.4 Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis.
5.5 For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (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.
5.6 For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (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.
5.7 Connect charger AC supply cord to electrical outlet and press to turn the output on.
