Important Safety Instructions

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.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

A. 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 device using battery

2.Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable batteries only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes, vans, RVs, 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 manufacturer.

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.

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 the plug on the 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:

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.
