With wet cell batteries, maintain the proper electrolyte level by 
adding water when necessary. Never allow the electrolyte level to 
fall below the top of the battery plates. Electrolyte levels fall 
during discharge and rise during charging. Therefore, to prevent 
the overflow of electrolyte when charging, add water only after 
the batteries have been fully charged, or just enough to cover 
the plates if discharged. Old batteries require more frequent 
additions of water than do new batteries. 
 
Do not over discharge batteries. Excessive discharge can cause 
polarity reversal of individual cells resulting in complete battery 
failure. Re-charge batteries as soon as possible after a deep 
discharge, but not if they are warm, allow a cooling down period. 
 
Provide adequate ventilation when charging batteries. Chargers can 
ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, 
grain, dust, solvents, or other flammables. 
 
Do not charge batteries in excessively hot temperatures; wait till 
the cool of the evening. 
 
PRE CHARGE INFORMATION
Before connecting the charger to the batteries, make sure the 
battery pack is of the same voltage rating of the charger. If you are 
unsure, count the number of cells on the battery pack and multiply 
by two. This figure should be the same as the DC voltage rating of 
the charger. (see ratings label on charger) 
 
Make sure the AC cord, DC output leads, terminals,
connectors, or clamps are all in good working condition. Do not 
use the charger if there are any signs of stress or damage, or if 
wires are cut or have damaged insulation. Using this charger with 
any of these symptoms could result in a fire, property damage, or 
personal injury. Have a qualified service person make the 
necessary repairs. Repairs should not be made by people who are 
not qualified.
