Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being charged. Force gas vapors away by using a fan.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
contacting eyes.

recommended charge rates.
Determine condition of battery, by referring to instructions
herein, before ever attempting to charge or desulfate any /
all batteries.
Make sure unit is as far away from battery as output cables
permit.
Never place unit directly above battery being charged; gases

DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Note: Steps to be done in a well-ventilated area.

after removing unit power cord from outlet.

several times to make good contact. This tends to keep clips
from slipping off terminals and reduces risk of sparking.
