OPERATIONS MANUAL:
6 AMP PORTABLE BATTERY CHARGER
4) Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug.
5) Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way.
6) Do not attempt to disassemble the charger.
7) To reduce the risk of injury unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls alone will not reduce the risk.
8) Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Personal Safety Precautions
Adhere to the following personal safety precautions when installing or working with
the chargers:
1) Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
2) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near a battery.
4) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with cold, running water for
at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
6) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
7) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a 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.
8) Use battery charger for charging a lead-acid, AGM or gel battery only. It is not
intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter
motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries will burst and cause
injury to persons and damage to property.
9) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Preparing to Charge Precautions
Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions:
1) Do NOT operate the charger if the cables or an LED is damaged.
2) Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.
3) If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the
grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the product
are off, so as not to cause an electrical arc.
