IMPORTANT: READAND SAVE THIS SAFETYAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL. KEEP IT

WITH OR NEAR THE CHARGERATALL TIMES.

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1.1 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OFALEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES

GENERATEEXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMALBATTERY OPERATIONAND WHEN

DISCHARGED OR CHARGED. FOR THIS REASON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE

THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER,YOU RE-READ THIS MANUALAND

MAKE CERTAIN YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND ITAND FOLLOW THE SAFETYAND

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

1.2 Toreducetherisk ofabattery explosion,followthesesafety instructionsandthose publishedby

thebatterymanufacturerandthe manufacturerofanyequipment youintendtouse inthevicinity

ofabattery.Review cautionarymarkingsonthese productsandonthevehicleengine andonthe

vehicleorequipmentcontainingthebattery.

1.3 CAUTION:Toreducethe riskofinjury,chargeonly rechargeableLEAD-ACIDTYPE batteries

whichmayincludeMAINTENANCE-FREE, LOW-MAINTENANCE OR DEEP CYCLE batteries.

Othertypesof batteries mayburstcausing personalinjuryand damage.

Ifyouare uncertainasto thetypeof batteryyouare attemptingtocharge orthecorrect procedure

forcheckingthe battery’sstate ofcharge,contacttheseller orbattery manufacturer.

DANGER

Always wear complete eye protection: Explosive gases can

cause blindness or injury

Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid that can cause

blindness or severe burns

Never smoke or cause a spark or flame in the vicinity of the

battery or engine.

2.5 NEVERsmoke orallowa sparkorflame inthevicinity ofthebattery orengine.

2.6 Beextra cautioustoreduce therisk of droppinga metaltoolontothe battery.Itmight sparkor

shortcircuitthe batteryorother electricalpart thatmaycause anexplosion.

2.7 Beforeworking withalead acidbattery,remove personalmetalitems such asrings, bracelets,

necklaces,watches,etc. Aleadacidbattery canproducea short-circuitcurrent highenoughto

weldsuch itemscausing asevere burn.

2.8 Usethe chargerforchargingLEAD-ACID batteriesonly.Thecharger isnotintendedtosupply

powertoalow-voltageelectrical systemotherthanapplicationsusing rechargeable,lead-acid

typebatteries.Do notusethe chargerforcharging dry-cellbatteries commonlyusedwith home

appliances. Thesebatteriesmayburst andcausepersonalinjury andpropertydamage.

2.9 NEVERcharge afrozenbattery; thawitout first.

3. PREPARING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY

3.1 Ifnecessary toremovethe batteryfromthe vehicletocharge,always firstremovethe grounded

terminalfromthe battery.Makesure allaccessoriesin thevehicle areofftopreventan arc.

3.2 Besure theareaaround battery iswellventilated whilethebattery isbeingcharged.Gas canbe

forcefullyblownaway byusinga pieceofcardboard orothernonmetallic materialasa fan.

3.3 Cleanthe batteryterminals.Be carefulto keep corrosionfrom comingintocontact withyour

eyes.

3.4 Adddistilled waterineachcell untilthebattery acidreachesthe levelspecifiedbythe

manufacturer.Thishelpspurgeexcessivegas fromthe cells.Donot overfill.Fora batterywithout

caps,carefullyfollowthemanufacturer’srecharging instructions.

3.5 Studyallthe batterymanufacturer’sspecificprecautions suchasremoving ornotremoving cell

capswhilecharging andtherecommended ratesof charge.

3.6 Determinethe voltageofbatterybyreferring tothevehicle owner’smanual andmakesure that

theoutputvoltage menuselectionis set atthecorrect voltage.Thecharger hasadjustable

chargerates,socharge thebatteryinitially atlowestrate.If thechargerhas onlyonevoltage,

verifythatthebatteryvoltagematchesthe voltageof charger.

4. AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Thecharger mustbegrounded toreduce theriskof electricshock. Thechargeris equippedwith

anelectriccordhavingan equipmentgroundingconductorand agroundingplug.Theplug must

bepluggedintoan outletthatisproperly installedandgroundedin accordancewithalllocal codes

andordinances.

DANGER: NEVERALTER THEAC CORD OR PLUG PROVIDED. IF IT WILL NOT FIT

OUTLET, HAVEAPROPEROUTLETINSTALLEDBYAQUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.AN

IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OFAN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DANGER: BEFOREUSINGANADAPTERAS ILLUSTRATED, BECERTAINTHAT THE

CENTER SCREW OF THE OUTLET PLATE IS GROUNDED. THE GREEN-COLORED

RIGID EAR OR LUG EXTENDING FROM THEADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED TOA

PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET— MAKE CERTAIN IT IS GROUNDED. IF NECESSARY,

REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OUTLET COVER PLATE SCREW WITHALONGER SCREW

THAT WILLSECURE THEADAPTER EAR OR LUG TO THE COVER PLATEAND MAKE

THE GROUND CONNECTION TO THE GROUNDED OUTLET.

4.3 Anextensioncordshouldnotbeusedunlessabsolutelynecessary.Useofanimproperextension

cordcouldresultinariskoffireandelectricshock.Ifanextensioncordmustbeused,makesure

that:

a) The pins on plugs of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those

of the plug on the charger;

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

c) The wire size is large enough for theAC ampere rating of the charger as specified in the

followingtable:

5. CHARGERLOCATION

5.1 Locatethe chargeras farawayfrom thebattery asthe chargercables permit.

5.2 Neverplace thechargerdirectlyabove thebatterybeingcharged;gases fromthebatterywill

corrodeanddamagethecharger.

5.3 Neverallow batteryacidtodripon thechargerwhentakinggravityreadingsor fillingabattery.

5.4 Operatethe chargeronlyina well ventilatedarea,freeof dangerousvapors.

5.5 Storethecharger inasafe, drylocation.

5.6 Donot setthe batteryontop ofthe chargeror whereitsacid mightdrip ontocharger.

6. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

6.1 Turnthe powerswitchto theOFF position anddisconnect theACcordfromthe electricaloutlet

beforeyouconnect anddisconnectcharger clamps.Neverallowthe clampstotouch each other.

6.2 Whenattaching thecharger clamps,be certain tomake thebest possiblemechanical aswell as

electricalconnection.This willtendto preventtheclamps fromslippingoff theconnections,avoid

dangeroussparking,andassure saferandmore efficientcharging.Clamps shouldbekeptclean.

CAUTION:Settingthe powerswitchto OFF doesnot alwayseliminatean electricalchargein the

charger’scircuitryor clamps.

7. CHARGER CONNECTION FORABATTERY IN THE VEHICLE

7.1 Beforeworking onthevehicle,firmlyapply theemergencybrakeandplace themanual

transmissiongearshiftto NEUTRAL orshifttheautomatic transmissionto PARK.

7.2 Locatethe chargeras far awayfrom thebattery asthe chargercordspermit andposition theAC

andDCcordsto avoidsteppingon ortrippingover themandto prevent damagebythe hood,

doors,ormovingengineparts.

7.3 Stayclear offan blades,belts,pulleys,and anyotherpartsthecancause physicalinjury.

7.4 TurnOFF allvehicle loads,includingthedoor lights.

7.5 Checkthe polarityof thebattery posts.ThePOSITIVE (POS., P, +) postusually hasalarger

diameterthanthe NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) post.

7.6 Determinewhich postofbattery isgrounded (connected)tochassis. Ifthenegative postis

grounded(asin mostvehicles),see paragraph7.7.If thepositivepost isgrounded, see

paragraph7.8orcallMidtronicsat1-800-776-1995or1-630-323-2800.

GR1-120 SafetyInstructions

7.7 Fora negative-groundedvehicle,first connectthePOSITIVE (RED) chargerclamp tothe

POSITIVE (POS., P, +) ungroundedpost ofthebattery.Thenconnectthe NEGATIVE(black)

clampfrom thecharger tothe NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) post.Do notconnect theclamp tothe

carburetor,fuellines, orsheet-metalbodyparts.When disconnectingthecharger,turnall

switchestoOFF,disconnectAC cord,andremove theNEGATIVE clampand thenthe

POSITIVE clamp.

7.8 Fora positive-groundedvehicle,connectthe NEGATIVE(BLACK)chargerclampto the

NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) ungrounded postof battery.Thenconnect thePOSITIVE (RED) clamp

fromthe chargerto thePOSITIVE (POS., P, +) post. Donot connectthe clamp tothe carburetor,

fuellines,or sheet-metalbodyparts.When disconnectingthecharger,turnallswitches toOFF,

disconnectAC cord,andremove thePOSITIVE clamp andthenthe NEGATIVE clamp.

CAUTION: WHEN THE POSITIVE (+) POST OF THE VEHICLE BATTERYIS GROUNDED,

DOUBLE CHECK THE POLARITY.

8. CHARGER CONNECTION FORA BATTERY NOT IN THE VEHICLE

Ifnecessaryto removethebattery fromthevehicle orequipment,always firstremovethe

groundedterminalfromthebattery.

WARNING:To preventapossible arc,makesure allvehicleloadsare OFF.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ASPARK

NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSEAN EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK:

8.1 Checkthe polarityof thebattery posts.ThePOSITIVE (POS., P, +) postusually hasalarger

diameterthanthe NEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) post.

8.2 Connectthe POSITIVE (RED)charger clampto thePOSITIVE (POS., P, +) post ofthe battery.

Thenconnectthe NEGATIVE (BLACK) chargerclampto theNEGATIVE (NEG., N, –) postof the

battery.
