1.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

1.2To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these safety instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine, and on vehicle or equipment containing the battery.

1.3CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only rechargeable LEAD-ACID-TYPE batteries which may include MAINTENANCE- FREE, LOW-MAINTENANCE OR DEEP CYCLE batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

If you are uncertain as to the type of battery you are attempting to charge, or the correct procedure for checking the battery’s state of charge, contact the seller or battery manufacturer.

1.4Use 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.

1.5To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.

1.6Position the AC and DC leads to avoid tripping over them and to prevent damage by the vehicle hood, doors, or moving engine parts; protect the leads from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

1.7Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service center.
