GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY

1. Before you use your battery charger, be sure to read all

instructions and cautions printed on:

• Battery Charger

• Battery

• Vehicle or unit using battery

2. Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable bat-

teries only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes,

vans, RV's, trolling, motors, etc. Charger is not intended to

supply power to low-voltage electrical system other than in

an automotive application.

WARNING: Do not use 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.

3. Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufac-

turer. Use of non-recommended attachments may result in

fire, electric shock, or injury.

4. When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug,

not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to

cord or plug.

5. Locate battery power cord so it cannot be stepped on, tripped

over, or subjected to damage or stress.

6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Have

cord replaced immediately.

7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to a

qualified professional for inspection and repair.

8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified profes-

sional when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-

sembly may result in electric shock or fire.

9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet

before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

10. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.

Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or

electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make

sure that:

• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number,

size, and shape as those of plug on charger.

• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical

condition.

• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger,

as specified below:

_____________________________________________

Length of cord (feet): 25 50 100 150

AWG size of cord: 16 14 10

_____________________________________________

11. Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.

NEVER operate in a closed-in or restricted area without

adequate ventilation.

WARNING: Risk of explosive gas.

12. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger

cables permit.

13. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

14. NEVER charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte)

is frozen, bring into a warm area to thaw before charging.

15. NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading

specific gravity or filling battery.

16. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.

17. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged.

Gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.

18. NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger

is energized.

WARNING: Battery chargers get hot during operation and must

have proper ventilation. Air needs to flow around entire

charger. Do not set on flammable items like carpeting, up-

holstery, paper, cardboard, etc. Charger

will damage leather

and melt plastic and rubber.

Read Rules for Safe Operation and Instructions Carefully

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 instructions exactly.

Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a lead-acid battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

E. OPERATING INSTRUCTION: CHARGING BATTERY IN VEHICLE When charging battery in the vehicle, take care to determine the battery type and which post i s grounded. To reduce risk of a spark near battery, follow these steps when battery is installed in vehicle. WARNING: A spark near battery may cause battery explosion. 1. Position AC power cord and DC charging cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine parts. 2.

G. METER FUNCTIONS PERCENT OF CHARGE The percent of charge scale is intended as a visual aid to help simplify detemmining the state of charge. It is scaled for use with the 6 or 10 amp charge rates only. For the 2 amp charge rate, use the red triangle.The percent of charge is based on current draw by the battery. For this reason accuracy will vary with the size and battery type. Typically a 28 ampere hour battery will draw less current at end charge than a 140 ampere hour wet cell battery.

H. BATTERY CHARGER CONTROLS SWITCHES The SE-1012D has one charge rate only . The switch on this unit is for selecting the charging voltage, either 6 volt or 12 volt. Match the charging voltage to the battery being charged. The SE-1052, SE-1010-2 and the SE-1250 models are 12 volt only and must not be used on 6 volt batteries. The switches on these chargers are for selecting the charging rates (amps) desired for your application.

K. BATTERY CHARGING 1. Before charging any battery, make sure the electrolyte (battery fluid) in each cell is at correct level. This is not required on maintenance free batteries. Read instructions on battery. 2. Set switches and or timers to Off, if the position is available. If no Off position is on your charger, set in the lowest charge rate featured usually, 2 amp. 3. If the battery is being charged inside the vehicle, use connection procedures outlined in Section E.

MANUAL DEL PROPIETARIO EL TRABAJAR CERCA DE BATERIAS DE PLOMO-ACIDO ES PELIGROSO. LAS BATERIAS GENERAN GASES EXPLOSIVOS DURANTE LA OPERACION NORMAL DE LA BATERIA. POR ESTA RAZON ES SUMAMENTE IMPORTANTE QUE LEA ESTE MANUAL Y OBSERVE EXACTAMENTE LAS INSTRUCCIONES CADA VEZ QUE SE USE EL CARGADOR. A. SEGURIDAD GENERAL DE LA BATERIA 1.

solamente con un régimen de carga de 6 ó 10 amperios. Para el régimen de carga de 2 amperios, use el triángulo rojo. El porcentaje de carga está basado en la extracción actual de la batería. Por esta razón, la exactitud variará dependiendo del tamaño y el tipo de batería. Normalmente una batería de 28 amperio-hora extraerá menos corriente en la carga final que una batería de 140 amperio-hora de pila hidroeléctrica.
