1.1 Safety Instructions
Save these instructions. These sheets contain important safety
and operating instructions for the Isco Model 965 Five-Station
Battery Charger.
1. Before using the charger read all of the instructions and
cautionary markings on (1) the Model 965 battery charger,
(2) the battery, and (3) the product using the battery.
WARNING
Charge only Isco 4 ampere-hour nickel-cadmium batteries
or Isco 6.5 ampere-hour lead-acid batteries. Other types of
batteries could vent or burst, resulting in personal injury or
property damage.
2. The Model 965 is for indoor use only. Do not expose the bat-
tery charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of attachments or appliances with this unit that are
not sold or recommended by Isco may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
4. To reduce the risk of damage to the Model 965 cord and
plug, always grasp the plug when disconnecting the unit,
rather than pulling on the cord.
5. When the Model 965 is in use, make sure the cord is
located so it will not be crushed, stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6. Do not use an extension cord with the Model 965 charger
unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of an improper exten-
sion cord could result in the risk of fire or electric shock. If
you must use an extension cord, please make sure of the
following:
a. The pins on the extension cord plugs are the same size,
number, and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
b. The extension cord is properly wired and is in good
mechanical and electrical condition (no frayed wires or
exposed connections, and firm retention of the plug
when inserted).
c. The wire size of the extension cord is adequate for the
AC ampere rating of the charger as specified below:
