IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions. You may need to refer to these instructions at a later date.
2. CAUTION.
To reduce risk of injury, charge only wet cell, lead-acid, automotive type
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
property damage.
3.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
6.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
7.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure:
a.
That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of
plug on charger;
b.
That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;
c.
If the length of the extension cord is less than 15 meter, use a 0.75mm

.
8.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug, replace the cord or plug immediately.
9.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
10.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
11.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
12. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
a.
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY EACH TIME BEFORE USING CHARGER.
b.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of
battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
2.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.
3.
Wear complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.
4.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enter eyes, immediately flood eyes with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
5.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
7.
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.
8.
Use the 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. Do not use 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.
9.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
