SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS UNIT

1. Batteries can generate explosive gases during normal operation. 

ALWAYS

 

use in well ventilated area.

2.

DO NOT

 smoke, strike a match or cause a spark in the vicinity of the battery 

or engine. Avoid explosive gas, flames and sparks.

3. Remove all personal jewellery, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and 

watches while working with a vehicle battery. These items may produce a 
short circuit and could cause severe burns.

4. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the 

battery. It may spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical 
hardware which may cause an explosion or fire.

5. Wear complete eye protection, hand and clothing protection. 

AVOID

 

touching eyes while working near a battery.

6. Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions, such as removing or 

not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of 
charge.

7. Clean battery terminals before connection with the charger. Be careful to 

keep corrosion from coming in to contact with eyes.

8. When it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge, 

always remove grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all 
accessories in the vehicle are switched off in order to prevent an arc.

9. This charger is 

NOT

 intended to supply power to an extra low voltage 

electrical system or to charge dry cell batteries. Charging dry cell batteries 
may cause the battery to burst and cause injury to person or property.

10.

NEVER

 charge a frozen, damaged, leaking or non rechargeable battery.

11. If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap 

and water. If electrolyte enters your eye, immediately flood eye with 
running clean cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical 
attention immediately.

12.

DO NOT

 place the charger in the engine compartment, near moving parts 

or near the battery. Place as far away from them as the cable permits. 

WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE CHARGER WHEN CONNECTING OR 
DISCONNECTING LEADS TO AVOID SPARKING AS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE 
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE RELEASED IN THE PROCESS OF BATTERY 
CHARGING
