Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using your new battery charger.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
2. Remove battery completely from boat/airplane or any confined area before charging.
3. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always
remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off,
so as not to cause an arc.
4. Clean battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive material in eyes.
5. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without
cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's charging instructions.
6. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging, and recommended rates of charge.
7. Determine voltage of battery to be charged by referring to the vehicle manual. The unit is for
