6.FOLLOW THESE precautions WHEN connecting the

BATTERY.

A spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion. To reduce the risk of a spark near the battery:

6.1Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.

6.2Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.

6.3When disconnecting the charger, turn the switch to off, disconnect the AC cord and then disconnect the charger from the battery.

6.4See CALCULATING CHARGE TIME for length of charge information.

6.5Do not face the battery when making the final connection.

6.6When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from the battery as practical.

7.BATTERY CHARGING – AC CONNECTIONS

Risk of electric shock or fire.

7.1This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated. The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.

NOTE: The INC-4825A intermittently draws more than 15 amps of current. We recommend that you either install a 20 amp circuit or do not run anything else on the same circuit as the INC-4825A or you may trip the breaker supplying the AC power.

7.2Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution. NOTE: The use of an adapter plug is not recommended.
