Important Safety Instructions
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
• Read all instructionsand cautions printed on the
battery charger, battery, and vehicle or equipment
using battery.
• Use charger only on lead-acid type rechargeable
batteries, such as those used in cars, trucks,
tractors, airplanes, vans, RV's, trolling motors, etc.
This charger is not intended to supply power to a
low voltage electrical system other than in an
automotive application.
• Use only attachments recommended or sold by
manufacturer. The use of attachments not recom-
mended by the manufacturer may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury.
• Do not disassemble charger. Take itto a qualified
service professional ifservice or repair is required.
Incorrect assembly may result in fire or electrical
shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the
charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
• Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.
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 battades
that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause personal
injury.
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 ifneeded, 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.
• 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 itto a
qualified professional for inspection and repair.
• Be sure to position the charger power cord to
prevent itfrom 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.
• 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 shortcircuit current high enough to weld a
ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe bum.
• 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 explo-
sive gases.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking
soda before attempting to clean up.
