2.PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
2.1Remove 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.
2.2NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
2.3Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system. Do not use this 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.
2.4NEVER charge a frozen battery.
2.5NEVER overcharge a battery.
2.6Make sure that the charger cable connector makes a tight connection.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
2.7Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged.
2.8Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
•1 •
2.9If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
2.10If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
3.BATTERY CHARGING – AC CONNECTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
3.1This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). NOTE: Pursuant to Canadian Regulations, use of an adapter plug is not allowed in Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the United States is not recommended and should not be used.
3.2An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
•That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
•That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
•That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as specified below.
3.3Recommended minimum AWG size for extension cord:
•100 feet (30.5 meters) long or less – use an 18 gauge (0.82 mm2) extension cord.
•Over 100 feet (30.5 meters) long – use a 16 gauge (1.31 mm2) extension cord.
