This MotoMaster

®

 battery charger features 

advanced microprocessor technology making 
battery charging faster, easier, and safer than ever 
before. This manual will explain how to use the 
charger safely and effectively. 
Please read and follow these instructions and 
precautions carefully. 

SAFETY INFORMATION

•  Read all instructions, warnings, and cautions 

printed on the battery charger, battery and 
vehicle or equipment using battery. 

•  Use the charger for charging lead-acid 

batteries only (such as those used in cars, 
trucks, motorcycles, boats, etc.).

•  Battery chargers are not intended to supply 

power to a low-voltage electrical system or 
to charge dry-cell batteries commonly used 
in household appliances such as radios, toys, 
cameras, etc. Charging dry-cell batteries 
may cause them to burst and cause injury to 
persons and damage to property. 

•  Use of an attachment not recommended by 

the battery charger manufacturer may result 
in the risk of fire or electric shock. 

• 

DO NOT

 disassemble the charger. Take it to 

a qualified service professional if service or 
repair is required. Incorrect assembly may 
result in fire or electrical shock. 

•  To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the 

charger from the outlet before attempting 
any maintenance or cleaning.

• 

DO NOT 

expose charger to rain or snow. 

• 

NEVER

 

charge a frozen battery. If battery 

acid becomes frozen, bring battery to a warm 
area and allow it to thaw before you begin 
charging. 

• 

NEVER

 

touch battery clamps together when 

the charger is on. This may cause a spark

• 

NEVER 

operate a charger if it has received 

a hard blow, been dropped or otherwise 
damaged. Take it to a qualified professional 
for inspection. 

• 

NEVER

 

pull out the plug by the cord when 

unplugging the charger, as this may cause 
damage to the cord or plug.

PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•  Make sure that someone is within range of 

your voice to come to your aid if needed while 
you work with or are near a lead-acid battery. 

•  Wear complete eye and clothing protection 

when working with lead-acid batteries. 

•  Avoid touching your eyes while working with 

a battery. Have plenty of fresh water and 
soap nearby for use in case battery acid 
contacts your eyes, skin or clothing. If this 
happens, wash immediately with soap and 
water, then get medical attention.

WARNING!

Handling the cord on this product or objects associated with the use of this product may expose you to lead. 
Wash hands after handling.

 

WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal 
battery operation. For this reason it is of the utmost importance that each time before using your charger, you 
read and follow the instructions provided exactly. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions 
and those published by the battery manufacturer.
