• 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
• 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.
• 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
IMPORTANT SPECIFICATION NOTE: Battery capacity: lead acid type, maximum 12VDC, 80Ah.
The following symbols are marked on the appliance:
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Read all of this instruction manual carefully.
• 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 this equipment when you are tired or impaired.
• Check for damaged parts. A part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by manufacturer
before further use unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
• Do not operate the battery charger near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors
may spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
