SAFETY NOTICE:

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal operation. To avoid risk of injury always observe the following safety notices.

1. To reduce risk of a Battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the Battery or in
the vehicle manual.

2. Always ensure that charging takes place in a well ventilated area.

3. NEVER smoke or allow an open spark or flame to occur in the vicinity of the Battery or engine.

4. Always connect the output (DC) leads to the Battery BEFORE connecting the electric supply.

5. Always use KREE recommended accessories. The use of third party accessories may result in injury
to persons and damage to property.

6. To reduce risk of damage to the AC plug and lead remove the AC lead from the AC supply by
gripping the plug not the lead.

7. Ensure the Charger leads are located so that they cannot be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.

8. Check that the Battery voltage matches the 12V Battery Charger output voltage.

9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the Charger from the AC supply before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.

10. Use the Charger for charging rechargeable automotive batteries ONLY. It is not intended to supply
power to an electrical system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may result in
explosion and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

11. NEVER charge a frozen Battery.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

1. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

2. Wear complete eye and clothing protection.

3. Avoid touching eyes while working with batteries.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.

5. Take care not to drop metal objects onto the Battery terminals which could create sparks or a
short-circuit.

6. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. Batteries can deliver
a current sufficient to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.

PREPARING TO CHARGE:

1. Check that the Battery Charger output voltage matches the Battery voltage.

2. If necessary remove the Battery from the vehicle ensuring that all accessories on the vehicle are off in
order to prevent sparks.

3. Always remove the grounded terminal from the Battery first.

4. Be sure the area around the Battery is well ventilated while Battery is being charged.

5. Clean Battery terminals taking care to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

6. Follow the Battery manufacturer’s instructions closely. e.g. Topping up electrolyte, removing or not
removing cell caps while charging, recommended rates of charge, etc.

POSITIONING THE CHARGER:

1. Position the Charger as far away from Battery as the output cable permits.

2. Never place the Charger directly above or below the Battery being charged. Gases or fluids from the
Battery may corrode and damage the Charger.

3. Never allow battery acid to come into contact with the Charger.

4. Always ensure that charging takes place in a well ventilated area.

5. Position all leads to and from the charger to avoid risks of trips, falls or accidental damage.
