d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill.
For a battery without cell caps, such as valve regulated
lead acid batteries, carefully follow the charging
instructions of the manufacturer.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine the nominal voltage of the battery by referring
to the owner's manual of the vehicle and make sure it
matches the output rating of the battery charger.
12. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate the charger as far away from the battery as DC cables
permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged;
gases from battery will corrode and damage the charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading
gravity or filling the battery.
d) Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
13. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect the DC output terminals only after
removing the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow
terminals to touch each other.
b) Attach terminals to battery and chassis as indicated in 14(e),

14.
A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position AC and DC cords 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 the negative post is grounded to the chassis
