PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For your own personal safety, please
follow the following precautions:
Wear complete eye and clothing
protection when working with lead-
acid batteries.
Be sure that someone is within range
of your voice to come to your aid if
needed while you work with or are
near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby for use in case battery acid
contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. If
this happens, wash immediately with

soap and water. Then get medical
attention.
Avoid touching your eyes while
working with a battery. Acid particles
(corrosion) may get into your eyes. If
this occurs, flush eyes immediately
with running cold water for at least 10
minutes. Then immediately get
medical attention.
Remove all personal metal items
MAINTENANCEPARTS
from your body, such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches
while working with a lead-acid battery.
A battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld
a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a
severe burn.
Take care not to drop any metal tool
or metal object onto the battery. This
may spark or short circuit the battery or
another electrical device that may
cause an explosion.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Always operate your battery charger
in an open, well ventilated area.
Never smoke or allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of the battery or
engine. Batteries generate explosive
gases.
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly
with baking soda before attempting to

BEFORE USING YOUR BATTERY CHARGER
It is important to prepare your charger for use. This section will tell you about your
charger's electrical requirements and how to prepare a battery for charging.
PLUGGING IT IN
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Be sure that power cord fits properly
into outlet. If not, have a qualified
technician install a proper outlet. Never
alter the AC cord or plug provided.
Improper connection can result in electtrical shock.
Your charger should be grounded to reduce
the risk of electical shock.
Your charger is equipped with an
electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding lplug desinged to be used
on a 120 volt circuit. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that has been
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Before using an adapter as
illustrated, be certain that the center
screw of the outlet plate is grounded.
The green colored grounding clip of the
adapter must be attached by a screw to
a properly grounded outlet. If unsure
whether outlet is properly grounded,
contact a professional electrician. If
necessary, replace the original outlet
cover screw with a longer one that will
secure the grounding clip to the outlet
cover and make a ground connection to
the grounded outlet.
USING AN EXTENSION
CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, please make sure
that you follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the pins on the plug of the
extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of the plug on
the charger.
• Use only 3-conductor (grounded)
extension cord when necessary.
• Check that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Make sure that the wire size is large
enough for its length and for the AC
ampere rating as specified in the
accompanying chart.
