IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for your SC-12 SuitCase Charger.

2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by PulseTech Products may result

in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.

3. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord

when disconnecting charger.

4. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper

extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure:

a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as

those of plug on charger;

b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and

c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of the charger as

specied:

Length of cord (ft): 25 50 100
AWG size of cord: 16 12 10

5. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug
immediately.

6. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualied serviceman.

7. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualied serviceman when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.

8. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

9. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.

BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASSES DURING NORMAL BATTERY

OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH
TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW

THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those

published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products
and on engine.

10. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to

your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts

skin, clothing, or eyes.

c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes

while working near battery.

d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and

water. If acid enters eye, immediately ood eye with running cold water for at

least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of battery or engine.

f) 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.

g) 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.
