IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and operating

instructions for Model HPX150 Battery Chargers. Before using the battery charger,
please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, the battery,
and the product using the battery.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electric shock:

o Do not expose unit to rain or moisture - use indoors only.
o Do not remove cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to

qualified service personnel.

o Connect the battery charger directly to a grounding receptacle. An adaptor should

not be used with this unit. This unit is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug (3-prong). The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local and national codes and ordinances.

o Disconnect charger from AC power and battery before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls may not reduce this risk.

WARNING

o Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only sealed or

valve regulated, lead-acid, non-automotive, maintenance free rechargeable
batteries. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may result in personal
injury and battery damage.

o The enclosure will become hot during the charge cycle - DO NOT TOUCH!
o Connect or disconnect the output connectors only when the unit is disconnected

from AC power or arcing and burning may result (due to the possible presence of
explosive gases).

DANGER - Never alter power cord or plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, replace
the power cord with one having the correct plug or have a proper outlet installed by an
electrician. Improper connection will result in the risk of an electric shock or fire.

Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate this unit with a damaged cord or plug ­replace them immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting unit.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Do not disassemble charger; incorrect reassembly will result in the
risk of an electric shock or fire. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Recharge batteries in well ventilated areas to prevent build-up of explosive gases.

Allow space around the unit and adequate air circulation to reduce internal heat buildup.
Do not block vents or operate in a small, enclosed space.
