Preparing To Charge - Surtek CB50 Manual De Usuario Y Garantía

PREPARING TO CHARGE

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. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a
fan.
3. Clean battery terminals. Take special care the corrosion does not reach your eyes.
4. If required, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specified by
battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.
6. Make sure you have a 6 volt or a 12-volt lead-acid battery. Check your car owner manual
to make sure. If charger has adjustable charging range, charge the battery at first, using
the lower range.
7. Make sure all charger components are well placed and in good function conditions.
8. If the battery amperage rating is not specified or you are not sure of the classification, refer
the table below (guidance only).

Charging battery in vehicle
1. Position AC power cord and DC charging cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or
moving engine parts.

3. Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked by each post: POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -). NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger diameter
than the negative post.
4. Determine which post of battery is ground (connected) to chassis. NOTE: The negative post
is normally grounded.
5. NEGATIVE GROUNDED POST
5A. 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. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
