A. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety

and operating instructions for battery charger models.

MODELS: SE-40MAP, SE-50MA-2 and SE-3004

A BATTERY CHARGER RECEIVES AC POWER FROM THE ELECTRIC OUTLET AND

DELIVERS DC CURRENT TO THE BATTERY.

2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery

charger, (2) battery and (3) product using battery.

3. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries.

Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may

result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when

disconnecting charger.

6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise

subjected to damage or stress.

7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper

extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be

used, make sure:

(a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of

plug on charger.

(b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and

8. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace them immediately.

9. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise dam-

aged in any way; take it to a qualified service man.

10. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is

required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any main-

tenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

B. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES

GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS

REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR

CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION EXACTLY.

2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by

battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of

battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.

C. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when

you work near a lead-acid battery.

. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. 3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery. 4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately. 5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. 6.

2. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons. 3. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P. +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N. -) post. 4. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see #5. If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see #6. 5.

FIGURE 1 GROUNDING METHODS J. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS This battery charger is equipped with a self-reseeing circuit breaker. This device protects the charger from tempory overloads. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker will trip open and after a short cooling off period will reset automatically. This process is known as cycling and can be recognized by an audible clicking sound. K. OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH Set output voltage selector switch to match voltage of battery to be charged.

4. The battery will continue to charge at this low rate and gradually shut off completely. The charger will turn back on automatically when the battery needs to be charged again. 5. At no time during the charge cycle should there be any sign of vigorous bubbling of the battery fluid. If that occurs, see Problem Checklist Item 4. N. CHARGE PERIOD The approximate required time to bring a battery to a full charge state depends upon the number of ampere-hours (AH) depleted from the battery.

d. The battery may already be fully charged. 2. If Ammeter pointer moves to extreme right, remains a short time, then returns to zero, accompanied by a clicking sound, check the following: a. A severly discharged, but otherwise good battery. In this situation, the circuit breaker will continue to cycle and the ammeter pointer will swing from one side to the other until the battery has recovered sufficiently to allow a normal charging. b. A defective battery may cause repeated circuit breaker cycling.

como el de la letra B, si no tiene un toma-corriente con tierra. El adaptador temporsl debe de usarse siempre hasta que puedan instalar en su lugar un toma-corriente con tierra de tres tomas. PELIGRO - Antes de usar el adaptador asegurese que el tornillo del centro del toma-corriente haga tierra. El taco verde que sobre-sale del adaptador debe de conectarse a un tomacorriente que haga tierra.

que el nivel de electrolisis sea revisado periodicamente, y la batería tiene acceso para adiciones de agua, la batería es probablémente de bajo mantenimiento/tipo convencional. BAJO MANTENIMIENTO/TIPO CONVENCIONAL: Las baterías requeriran peridicamente, una adición de agua, “capas para llenar” ya sea individuales ó de tipo removible, serán proveidas. Normelmente, (vea precaución-arriba-), Estas “capas para llenar” son visibles en la superficie de la batería.
