Vehicle or unit using battery

2.Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable bat- teries only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes, vans, RV's 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 manufac- turer. 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.

Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on 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:
