FRONT PANEL INSTRUCTIONS
RISKS OF EXPLOSIVE GASES !
1. 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 battery-
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review
cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
2. Never charge a frozen battery.
3. Never charge a damaged battery.
4. Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor.
This could create a sparking.
5. Make sure the area around the battery and charger is well ventilated. DO NOT use this product
in an enclosed space. The internal battery may vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be
ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
6. DO NOT use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks.
7. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the engine or batteries.
8. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously
touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit
the battery and cause an explosion.
9. If you need to remove the clip from the battery terminal, ALWAYS remove the clip from the
positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause an
arc.
10. The battery terminals exposed at the clamps have enough energy present to cause a spark,
creating an explosion hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object contacts both terminals.
NEVER allow the red and black clips to touch each other or a common metal conductor.
11. DO NOT expose this product to water, rain, snow, condensation, or spray.
12. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling
battery.
