7.  Do not allow the Red and Black 

terminals of the Battery Charger or 

the vehicle battery cables to touch. 

Do not allow the Red cables to 

touch the frame or any metal part of 

the vehicle. Contact can cause an 

electrical short resulting in sparks, 

burn injury or damage to property.

8.  Only use in 12 VDC systems. Do not 

use in any other voltage system.

9.  Do not attempt to start or jump a 

vehicle with this Battery Charger 

plugged in. Do not use this Battery 

Charger to charge a dead, damaged 

or severely discharged battery. This 

charger is designed to “top off” and 

maintain a battery at or near 12 VDC.

10.  Do not leave the Charger unattended 

when it is plugged into an electrical 

outlet. Unplug the Charger from its 

electrical outlet before leaving.

11. 

The battery charger may 

get hot during use.  The 

charger’s heat can build 

up to unsafe levels and 

create a fire hazard if it does not 

receive adequate ventilation, due to 

an electrical fault, or if it is used in a 

hot environment. 

Do not place the charger on a 

flammable surface.  Do not obstruct 

any vents on the charger.  

Especially 

avoid placing the charger on 

carpets and rugs; they are not only 

flammable, but they also obstruct 

vents under the charger.

12.  This product is not a toy.  Keep it out 

of reach of children.

13.  People with pacemakers should 

consult their physician(s) before 

use.  Electromagnetic fields in close 

proximity to heart pacemaker could 

cause pacemaker interference or 

pacemaker failure.  In addition, 

people with pacemakers should: 

• Avoid operating alone. 

• Do not use with power switch locked 

on. 

• Properly maintain and inspect to 

avoid electrical shock. 

• Any power cord must be properly 

grounded.  Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter (GFCI) should also be 

implemented – it prevents sustained 

electrical shock.

14.  WARNING: The cord of this product 

contains lead, a chemical known 

to the State of California to cause 

cancer, and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. Wash hands 

after handling.  (California Health & 

Safety Code § 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

15.  WARNING: The brass components 

of this product contain lead, a 

chemical known to the State of 

California to cause cancer and birth 

defects or other reproductive harm.  

(California Health & Safety Code 

§ 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

16.  The warnings, precautions, 

and instructions discussed in 

this instruction manual cannot 

cover all possible conditions and 

situations that may occur.  It must 

be understood by the operator that 

common sense and caution are 

factors which cannot be built into this 

product, but must be supplied by the 

operator.

  SAVE THESE 

INSTRUCTIONS.
