Anleitung Zusammenfassung
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the battery or engine. f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion. g. 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn. h. Use this charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in an automotive application. Do not use this battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property. i. NEVER charge a frozen battery. 14. PREPARING TO CHARGE a. If necessary to remove battery from 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. b. Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan. c. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. d. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow the manufacturer's recharging instructions. e. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing the cell caps while charging and the recommended rates of charge. f. Determine voltage of the battery by referring to the car owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set at the correct voltage. If the charger has adjustable charge rate, charge the battery initially at the lowest rate. 15. CHARGER LOCATION a. Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit. b. Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger. c. Never allow battery acid to drop on the charger when reading the specific gravity or filling 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. 16. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS a. Connect and disconnect the DC output clamps only after setting the charger switches to the OFF position and removing the AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow the clamps to touch each other. b. Attach the DC clamps to the battery post and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection. This tends to keep the clamps from slipping off the terminals and helps to reduce the risk of sparking. 17. STOP/GO LITE INSTRUCTIONSWhen used properly, the STOP/GO LITE will indicate whether clamp connections will be correct. Connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) battery post. Touch the contact button of the negative (black) clamp to the other battery post. Observe the L.E.D. lights in the STOP/GO LITE: GREEN LIGHT: The first connection is correct. Make the second clamp connection per instructions. RED LIGHT: The first connection made with the positive clamp to the battery is incorrect. Attach the positive clamp to the other battery post and retest. RED AND GREEN LIGHT: The battery charger is turned on. Turn the charger "OFF" and retest. NO LIGHT: Check for a shorted or open battery. Clean any corrosion from the clamp jaws and the battery post and retest. If still no light, use a voltmeter or other means to make certain you have properly identified the polarity of the battery post. Then attach the clamps per instructions, disregarding the STOP/GO LITE. 18. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: a. Read the section "STOP/GO LITE INSTRUCTIONS" before proceeding. b. Position the AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door, or moving engine parts. c. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons. d. Check the polarity of the battery post. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. e. Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see item "e". If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see item "f". f. For negative-grounded vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Touch the contact button of the STOP/GO LITE to the...
