9
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9
Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
9
If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level before connecting the power clamps.
9
If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions (Apply the personal safety
precautions described in part 1.3).
9
If the charger receives a sharp knock or blow the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
9
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty clean them before attaching the power clamps.
9

DO NOT
dis-assemble the charger for any reason. The charger must only be checked by qualified service personnel.
8
DO NOT
try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
8
DO NOT
try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.
WARNING!
To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion
DO NOT
drop metal tools in the battery area, or
allow them to touch the battery terminals.
8
DO NOT
allow power clamps to touch each other or to make contact with any metallic part of the vehicle.
8
DO NOT
cross connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to
negative.
8
DO NOT
pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.

use the charger outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and
DO NOT
operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or
gases.

DO NOT
use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.
WARNING!
DO NOT
simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or discharge levels.
WARNING!
If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and rating. Use only Sealey genuine parts.
9
When not in use, store the charger carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.
9
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire
and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as specified.
9
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply
turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
9
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on-board requires equipment specially designed for
marine use.
