1.Install and ground the charger in accordance with the National Electric Code and your local electric code. Failure to properly ground the charger could result in a fatal electric shock.

2.To reduce the risk of fire, install chargers on a surface of non-combustible material, such as concrete, stone, brick or grounded metal.

3.This charger has been designed to only charge flooded, lead-acid batteries. It should not be used for charging other types of flooded batteries or sealed batteries.

4.Connect only batteries of the same number of cells and ampere-hour rating as listed on the charger nameplate. Damage to the battery could occur, particularly if the battery has fewer cells than the rating of the charger.

5.Do not touch uninsulated parts of the output connector or battery terminals. A possibility of serious electrical shock exists.

7.Do not connect or disconnect the battery plug while the charger is on. Doing so will cause arching and burning of the connector resulting in charger damage or battery explosion.

8.Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid, which is caustic and can cause chemical burns to the skin. Refer to the battery manufacturers instructions for safe handling of batteries. Use proper personnel protective equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. In cases of contact with eyes, flush immediately with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
