important safety and operating instructions for battery charger 

Model 091-165-12.

2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the 

battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, 

electric shock, or injury to persons.

4. Wire Battery Charger; 115VAC, 50/60Hz Input Power per 

Figure 1 of this manual in accordance with ALL; National, Local 

and/or Underwriter requirements for a NEMA, 115VAC, 15 

Ampere appliance.

5. Portable extension cords on 115VAC Input or 12VDC 

Output should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use 

of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and 

electric shock. If extension cord must be used;

  a) 115VAC input power cord shall comply with UL 1236 Edition 

7, Table 11.1 “Acceptable Flexible Cords for Battery Chargers”.

  b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical 

condition.

  c) That wire size is large enough for ampere rating of charger 

as specified in Table 52.1 of UL 1236 Edition 7, “Recommended 

Minimum AWG Size for Extension Cords for Battery Chargers”.

6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace 

the cord or plug immediately.

7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been 

dropped, or otherwise

damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman 

when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may 

result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet 

before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

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 EACH TIME 

BEFORE USING THE CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL 

AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

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.

11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close 

enough 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 protection. 

Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

d) 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 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 a lead-acid battery. 

A lead-acid battery can produce a shortcircuit current high 

enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe

burn.
