Specific Safety Instructions for Power Cords

•Don’t abuse the cord. Protect the power cord from being walked

on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus. Don’t abuse the power
cord. Never carry the apparatus by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by
plug rather than cord when unplugging the unit.

•Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be

provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.

DANGER – Never alter AC Power Cord or plug provided. If it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.

EXTENSION CORDS

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk

of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty.
If an extension cord must be used, 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 gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Preparing to Charge

1. Be sure the area around battery is well ventilated while the battery
is being charged.

2. Remove the battery completely from a boat/airplane or any confined
area before charging.

3. If it is necessary to remove battery from a vehicle to charge or to
clean terminals, always remove the grounded terminal from the
battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are turned off,
so as not to cause an electrical arc.

4. Clean the battery terminals, taking care to avoid getting corrosive
material in your eyes.

5. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches the
level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell
caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer’s charging
instructions.

6. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions, such
as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, and
recommended rates of charge.

7. Determine the voltage of the battery to be charged by referring to
the vehicle manual. This unit is for charging a 12 volt battery only.

CHARGER LOCATION
