Page 2 of 12

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the La Marche Power
Conversion Equipment.

Before using this equipment, read all instructions and cautionary markings on  (1) unit, (2) battery,

and (3) product using the battery.

CAUTION:  To reduce risk of injury and/or damage to the batteries, use

only the type of batteries specified on the charger.

Do not

 expose equipment to rain or snow.

Do not 

operate equipment if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in

any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

Do not

 disassemble this unit; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.

Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect this unit from the a.c.   supply, or batteries  and  loads
before  attempting  any maintenance or cleaning.  Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

WARNING – THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASSES AND WORKING IN
THE VICINITY OF A BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.  SOME BATTERIES

GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.

FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME
BEFORE USING THIS UNIT, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery

manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.

Review cautionary marking on all products.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

1.

 

Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you

work near a battery.

2.

 

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case the battery electrolyte contacts skin,

clothing, or eyes.

3.

 

Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near a battery.

4.

 

If the battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.  If

the electrolyte enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least

ten (10) minutes and get medical attention immediately.

5.

 

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.

6.

 

Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery.  It might spark or
short circuit the battery or other electric part that may cause an explosion.

7.

 

Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working

with a battery.  A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or

the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

8.

 

NEVER charge a frozen battery.
