Important Safety Instructions

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

WARNING

• Read all instructions and cautions printed on the battery charger, battery, and vehicle or equipment using battery.

• Use charger only on lead-acid type rechargeable batteries, such as those used in cars, trucks, tractors, airplanes, vans, RV’s, trolling motors, etc. This charger is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in an automotive application.

• Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer. The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

To reduce the risk of explosion, explosive gases, or injury while using your battery charger, follow the precautions listed below:

Help us help you

Remember:

• Place charger as far away from battery being charged as the charger cables will permit.

• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

• Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring battery into a warm area to thaw before you begin charging.

• Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.

• Never set a battery on top of the charger.

• Never place charger directly above battery being charged. The gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

• Never use charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause personal injury.

• Never touch the battery clamps together when the charger is energized.

• Never operate charger if it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.

• Be sure to position the charger power cord to prevent it from being stepped on, tripped over, or damaged.

• Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to the cord or the plug.

• Do not operate the charger if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Have the cord replaced.

Personal Safety Precautions

For your own personal safety, please follow the following precautions:

• Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified service professional if service or repair is required. Incorrect assembly may result in fire or electrical shock.

• To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

• Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.

• 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 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.

• 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 clean up.

• WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
