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

(c) That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:

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 MANUALAND 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.
