The tool may spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion. 6. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other metal item, causing a severe burn. 7. Use the Battery Charger for charging lead-acid batteries only. This Battery Charger is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter motor application. Do not use this Battery Charger for charging dry-cell batteries. Dry-cell batteries may burst and cause serious personal injury and/or property damage. NEVER charge a frozen battery. Preparing To Charge: 1. If it is necessary to remove the battery from a vehicle to charge, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc. 2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. 3. Clean the battery terminals prior to charging the battery. 4. Add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from the cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow the battery manufacturer’s recharging instruc tions. 5. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual, confirm it is 12 volt. Charger Location: 1. Always locate the Battery Charger as far away from the battery as the Charger’s DC cables permit. 2. Never place the Battery Charger directly above the battery being charged. Gases from the battery will corrode and damage the Battery Charger. 3. Never allow battery acid to drip on the Battery Charger. 4. Do not operate the Battery Charger in a closed-in area, or restrict ventilation in any way. 5. Do not set a battery on top of the Battery Charger. DC Connection Precautions: 1. Connect and disconnect DC output clamps only after removing the AC power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Never allow the DC output clamps to touch each other. 3. Attach the DC output clamps to the battery posts and twist or rock the clamps back and forth several times to make a good connection. This helps keep the clamps from slipping off the terminals, and helps to reduce the risk of sparking. To Reduce Risk Of Sparking - When The Battery Is In The Vehicle: 1. Carefully position the AC input and DC output cords to reduce the risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts. 2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other moving parts that can cause personal injury and/or property damage. 3. Check the polarity of the battery posts. A POSITIVE (+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than a NEGATIVE (–) battery post. 4. To reduce explosion risk, never connect both Battery Charger DC output clamps directly to the battery. Symbology WARNING! The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. Unpacking When unpacking the Automatic Battery Charger, check to make sure parts on page 11 are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS at 1-800-444-3353. Operation 1. Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis of the vehicle. If the NEGATIVE (–) post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), attach the POSITIVE (+) DC output clamp to the POSITIVE (+) battery post and connect the NEGATIVE (–) DC output clamp to a clean, thick, metal area on the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the NEGATIVE (–) DC output clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin sheet metal body parts. If the POSITIVE (+) post is grounded to the chassis, attach the NEGATIVE (–) DC output clamp to the NEGATIVE (–) battery post and connect the POSITIVE (+) DC output clamp to a clean, thick, metal area on the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the POSITIVE (+) DC output clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin sheet metal body parts. 2. When disconnecting the Battery Charge from the battery, turn all switches of the Battery Charger to their “OFF” position. Unplug the AC input power cord from its electrical outlet. Remove the DC output clamp from the vehicle chassis. Then, remove the DC output clamp from the battery. To Reduce Risk Of Sparking - When The Battery Is Outside The Vehicle: 1. Check the polarity of the battery posts. A POSITIVE (+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than a NEGATIVE (–) battery post. 2. Attach at least a 24 inch long, 6 gauge (AWG), insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE (–) battery post-see Figure A below. 3. Connect the POSITIVE (+) DC output clam...
