IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This product or its power cord contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Don’t use battery chargers in damp or wet locations.

• Keep children away. Keep away from children. This is not a toy!

• Store indoors. When not in use, battery chargers should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up places

– out of reach of children.

• Unplug the battery charger when not in use.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER CORDS

• Don’t abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,

oil, and sharp edges. Pull cord by plug rather than cord when unplugging the unit.

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used.

Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.

• Extension cords:
WARNING: An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension

cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the pins of the
extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger.

3

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

• Power Cord Safety:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS

• This unit was designed for household use only.

• Use of accessories and attachments: The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended by

manufacturer for use with this battery charger could be hazardous.

• Stay alert. Use common sense. Do not operate battery charger when you are tired.

• Check for damaged parts. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized

service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual before further use.

• Do not operate the battery charger near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors may

spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

• Never immerse the battery charger in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.

WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES:

• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the battery
maintainer you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.

• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer
and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings
on these products and on the engine.

• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or
enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.

• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:

• Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes or gases.

• Do not expose to extreme heat or flames.

• If the vehicle accessory outlet fuse opens (blows) when plugging in this battery charger, do not use this battery
charger with this vehicle accessory outlet:
Do not repeatedly replace the fuse.
Do not replace the vehicle accessory outlet fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.
Never attempt to patch the fuse with tin foil or wire.

Any of these actions may cause serious electrical damage and/or a fire.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.

• Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.

• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.

• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before
jump-starting, read the vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.

• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or
emergency.

• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or
severe burns. Be aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.

• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.

• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.

• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or battery maintainer.

• 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 similar metal
object, to skin causing a severe burn.

• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.

• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
