(For 6 & 12 Volt Batteries)
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. KEEP IT WITH
OR NEAR CHARGER AT ALL TIMES.
1. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
b. For this reason it is of the utmost importance that each time before using your charger, you read and follow the instructions provided exactly.
c. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the battery.
3. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
4. CAUTION – To reduce the risk of injury, use the charger for charging a rechargeable lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to supply power to an
low-voltage electrical system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to burst and cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
5. Do not expose charger to moisture, rain or snow. For indoor use only.
6. Use of any attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
7. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug, pull by plug housing when disconnecting the charger.
8. Study all the battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of
charge.
9. Do not use the battery charger unless the battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger.
10. Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
11. An extension cord 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, make sure:
a. That pins on the plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical condition.
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of the charger as specified below.

MOTOBATT dealer.
14. Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to a qualified repair station or MOTOBATT dealer when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
15. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from an outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
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 an 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 an explosion.
g. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-battery can
produce a short-circuited current high enough to weld a ring or like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h. Use the charger for charging a lead-acid battery ONLY. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system or to charge
dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to burst and cause injury to persons and/or damage to property.
i.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in
the vehicle are off in order to prevent an arc.
