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

•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.

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 (electro-

lyte) 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.

•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.

•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 unplug-

ging 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:

•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.

Sch 517

•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.
