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 upmost
importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the charger.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings
on these products and on the engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
• Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your
skin, clothing or eyes.
• Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and
protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
• If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters your eye, immediately
fl
ood the eye with cold running water for at least
10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
fl
ame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that
may cause an explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a
short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing
a severe burn.
• Use this charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended
to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a
starter-motor
application.
•
Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery.
Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery or another electrical
devise. Sparking may cause an explosion.
• Do not use this battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to
persons and damage to property.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery.
• NEVER overcharge a battery.
