Safety Warnings and Precautions WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment. [. . . ] If liquid is not present or if liquid appears to be frozen, do not attempt to charge battery. Do not use this Charger Engine Starter as a low voltage system power supply except in automotive applications. Do not try to start the automobile engine when the battery is still charging. Do not use this Charger Engine Starter to charge household dry cell batteries. Dry cell batteries may explode causing personal injury and property damage. Always charge lead acid batteries in well ventilated areas as explosive gases may be produced during charging. Place the Charger Engine Starter as far away as possible from the battery you are charging. Never attempt to charge a battery with frozen fluid. Be careful not to drip any fluids in or around the Charger Engine Starter. Damage to the Charger Engine Starter can occur. Never touch the Charger Engine Starter cable clamps together when the charger is plugged in; touching the cables together will cause sparking and possible personal injury and/or property damage. Pound on the Axle Caps with a rubber mallet. Make sure the Hubs are facing in on each wheel. Line up the Axle Brackets with the holes on the bottom of the Charger and screw the Axle Bracket to the bottom of the Charger Engine Starter. Remove the two top screws on each side of the Charger Engine Starter. Place the Handle so it lines up with the screw holes, and replace the screws, securing the Handle. Mount the six Cord Cleats using the remaining six screws. Handle Operation Place the Charger Engine Starter at least five feet from the battery to be charged. If the battery is to be charged in a vehicle, make sure the ignition is off and the key is removed. Then, connect the positive (red with + sign) cable clamp to the positive (P or +) terminal of the battery. Connect the negative (Black with the - sign) to an unpainted solid metal portion of the vehicle. Set the Charger Engine Starter Switch to the proper setting for the type of battery being charged. [. . . ] Ammeter: The ammeter indicates the amount of current measured in amperes that's drawn from the battery. For example, in the 40 amp charge rate a typical discharged battery will initially draw approximately 40 amps. As the battery continues to charge, current will taper to 15 to 20 amps at full charge. When cranking an engine, the starter motor draws upward to 200 amps. [. . . ]
