IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for this battery
charger Model (model see first page of this document).
2.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
25 ft (7.6 m)
AWG 16
4.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
5.
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 extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger as specified above.
6.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord or plug immediately.
7.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified serviceman.
8.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassemb-
ly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
9.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning
off controls will not reduce this risk
10. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE
GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE IN-
STRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-
acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or
other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) 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 the like to metal,
causing a severe burn
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away
by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's rechar-
ging instructions
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging
and recommended rates of charge.
