for advice.
9. Do not disassemble charger; call
VDC Electronics Tech Support
Dept. 800.379.5579 x6 (ET)
for advice when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire.
10. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not
reduce this risk.
11. 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 YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE
CHARGER.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by manufacturer of any equipment you intend to
use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
12. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Consider having someone close enough by 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
