IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
Model No. 9002A
KEEP IT WITH OR NEAR CHARGER AT ALL TIMES.
1.
WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. EXPLOSIVE GASES DEVELOP
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING
YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
1.1
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.
1.2
Do not expose charger to rain, snow, or liquids.
1.3
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.
1.4
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from AC
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
1.5
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
1.6
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 that pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on charger and that
the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition and that the wire size is large enough for A.C.
ampere rating of charger as specified in the following table:

1.7
If charger is equipped with an input power cord, do not
operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord
or plug immediately.
1.8
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.
1.9
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service
center when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
1.10
Appliances incorporating batteries which contain materials
hazardous to the environment:
1.10.1 Batteries contain lead and dilute sulfuric acid.
Dispose of the battery in accordance with federal,
state and local regulations. Do not dispose of the
battery in a landfill, lake or other
1.10.2 Scrap and replace the VRLA battery at or before the
time indicated on the battery or in the user's manual.
Usage beyond the required time of service can
cause fluid leakage due to damages to the
container, or cause fire due to power leakage.
2. PERSONAL
PRECAUTIONS
2.1 The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision; young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
2.2 When the battery charger is charging for automobile batteries,
the following steps should be done:
2.2.1 The battery terminal is not connected to the chassis has to
be connected first. The other connection is to be made to
the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. The
battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains.
2.2.2 After charging, disconnect the battery charger from supply
mains, and then remove the chassis connection and the
battery connection, in this order.
2.3 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
2.4 Someone should be within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. Wear complete
eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near batteries.
2.5 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flush
eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
2.6 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery
or engine.
2.7 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.
2.8 When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal
metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, etc.
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.
2.9 Use charger for charging a 12 Volt Lead-Acid Battery. The
rated capacity of the battery should be 30AH maximum.
The charger can charge LEAD ACID battery only. It is not
intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system
other than in a power supply application. Do not use battery
charger for recharging dry-cell or non-rechargeable batteries
that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
to property. While charging an impropriety type of battery, it
will cause battery serious damage.
2.10 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
2.11 NEVER charge the impropriety type of battery.
2.12 NEVER charge the impropriety Voltage of battery.
3. PREPARING TO CHARGE
3.1 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.
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 non-metallic material as a fan.
3.2 Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
