Warning - risk of explosive gases
a)
Working in vicinity of a lead-acid bat-
tery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal bat-
tery operation. For this reason, it is of
outmost 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 the battery manu-
facturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary
marking on these products and on engine.

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 protec-
tion. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immedi-
ately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, imme-
diately 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 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 elec-
trical system other than in a starter-motor application.
Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell bat-
teries that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons
and damage to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.

Preparing to charge
a) 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.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
