IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-- This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.

2. Before using this battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the battery charger, (2) the battery, (3) product using the battery.

3. CAUTION--To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid, maintenance free or flooded lead acid type rechargable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to person.

6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.

7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure: a. That pins on plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger. b. That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition

c. That the wire size is large enough for the A/C ampere rating of the charger as specified in the table below: LENGTH OF CORD (FEET) 25 50 100 150

AWG WIRE SIZE 18 18 16 14

9. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug.

REPLACE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

10. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; return it to a qualified service source.

11. Do not disassemble charger; Take it to a qualified service source when repair or service is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

12. To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug charger from

outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1. WORKING IN 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 YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these directions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manuf. of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

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

3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid

touching eyes while working near battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eyes

with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

10. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,

been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; return it to a qualified service source.

11. Do not disassemble charger; Take it to a qualified service

source when repair or service is required. Incorrect

reassembly may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.

12. To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug charger from

outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.

7. 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

8. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID BATTERY ONLY. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

9. NEVER charge a frozen battery. PREPARING TO CHARGE

1. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in vehicle are off so as not to cause an arc.

2. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.

3. Clean all battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.

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

6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car or equipment owner's manual and make sure it matches output rating of battery charger.
