GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY

1.

Before you use your battery charger, be sure to read all
instructions and cautions printed on:

Battery Charger

Battery

Vehicle or unit using battery

2.

Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable bat-
teries only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes,
vans, RV's trolling motors, etc. Charger is not intended to
supply power to low-voltage electrical system other than in
an automotive application.

 Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell

batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.

Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufac-
turer. Use of non-recommended attachments may result in
fire, electric shock, or injury.

When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug
not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to
cord or plug.

been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
a qualified professional for inspection and repair.

sional when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in electric shock or fire.
