Extension cords:
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the
pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

• Power Cord Safety: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a
safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
• This unit was designed for household use only.

• Do not operate the battery charger near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres.
Motors may spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
property. Use the unit for charging/boosting a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply
power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using
the battery maintainer you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used
in a garage or enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:
• Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
• Do not expose to extreme heat or flames.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between equipment and receiver.

• If the vehicle accessory outlet fuse opens (blows) when plugging in this battery charger, do not use
this battery charger with this vehicle accessory outlet:
– Do not repeatedly replace the fuse.
– Do not replace the vehicle accessory outlet fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.
– Never attempt to patch the fuse with tin foil or wire.
Any of these actions may cause serious electrical damage and/or a fire.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jumpstarted. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting
assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case
of accident or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause
blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with
battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or battery maintainer.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a
lead acid battery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring,
or similar metal object, to skin causing a severe burn.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical
attention.
EYES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15
minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
• Always turn the battery charger off by unplugging it when not in use.
• DO NOT OPEN THE BATTERY CHARGER — there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the
battery charger will void manufacturer’s warranty.
• Operate battery charger only as described in this Instruction Manual.
• Check battery charger and components periodically for wear and tear. Return to manufacturer for
replacement of worn or defective parts immediately.
Connection Precautions
• Connect and disconnect terminal rings, battery clamps or vehicle accessory plug only after removing
AC cord from electric outlet.
• Never allow terminal rings or clamps to touch each other.
• Attach clamps only as indicated in “Charging Using the Supplied Battery Clips.”
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN USING THE UNIT IN WET
ENVIRONMENTS:
