If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, al-

ways remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all of 

the accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is 

being charged.
Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into 

contact with your eyes.
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, carefully 

follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Study all of the battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging 

and recommended rates of charge.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s 

manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the 

correct voltage. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the 

battery at the lowest rate first.

Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.

Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases 

from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electro-

lyte specific gravity or filling the battery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in 

any way.
Do not set a battery on top of the charger.

Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the 

charger switches to the “off” position and removing the AC plug from the 

electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.6, 

and 7.2 thru 7.4.
