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.

Personal Safety Precautions

• Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead-acid batteries.

• Be sure that someone iswithin 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 cloth-

ing. 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.
