General Safety Instructions

Before connecting your batteries or AC power, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on the battery charger and batteries.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of injury; charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries
(lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell and AGM). Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury. The ProSport is factory set for lead acid batteries.

Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Professional Mariner, LLC may result in
a risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way.

Do not disassemble the charger. Call the factory directly when service or repair is required.
Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove AC power from the charger prior to any
maintenance or cleaning.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON IT IS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR
CHARGER YOU FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer, and of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery.
Review all cautionary markings and labels.

Personal Safety Precautions

Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when working near a lead acid battery.

Have plenty of water and soap nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin,
clothes or eyes.

Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
with a battery.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters the eye(s) flood eye(s) with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.

We are committed to customer satisfaction and value your business. If at any time
during the warranty period you experience a problem with your new ProSport
Marine Battery Charger simply call us at 1-800-824-0524 for technical support.
