Help us help you
Remember:
•Place charger as far away from battery being charged as the charger cables will permit.
•Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
•Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring battery into a warm area to thaw before you begin charging.
•Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.
•Never set a battery on top of the charger.
•Never place charger directly above battery being charged. The gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
•Never use charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury.
•Never touch the battery clamps together when the charger is energized.
•Never operate charger if it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
•Be sure to position the charger power cord to prevent it from being stepped on, tripped over, or damaged.
•Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to the cord or the plug.
•Do not operate the charger if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Have the cord replaced.
Personal Safety Precautions
For your own personal safety, please follow the following precautions:
•Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead-acid batteries.
•Be sure that someone is within range of your voice to come to your aid if needed while you work with or are near a lead-acid battery.
•Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and water. Then get medical attention.
•Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes. If this occurs, flush eyes immediately with running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Then immediately get medical attention.
•Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while working with a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.
•Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object onto the battery. This may spark or short circuit the battery or another electrical device that may cause an explosion.
•Always operate your battery charger in an open, well ventilated area.
•Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.
•Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
•WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will 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.
