1. Important Safety Instructions
To get the most out of your battery charger, it must be installed and used properly.
Please read the instructions in this manual before installing and using your battery
charger.
1.1 General Safety Precautions
1.
Do not expose the GP Battery Charger to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To
reduce risk of hazard do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
2.
Do not install the GP Battery Charger in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result.
3.
To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in
good electrical condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the
GP Battery Charger with damaged or substandard wiring.
4.
The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The
other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel
line. The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains.
5.
After charging, disconnect the battery charger from supply mains. Then remove
the chassis connection and battery connection, in this order.
6.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
7.
During charging the battery must be placed in a well-ventilated area.
8.
The battery charger must only be plugged-in to a grounded outlet.
9.
If the power supply cord is damaged, the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similar qualified person must replace it in order to avoid a hazard.
1.2 Precautions When Working with Batteries
1.
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 20
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
2.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
3.
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the
battery or other electrical part may cause an explosion.
4.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring, or the like, to metal, causing a severe burn.
