SOLAR PL3760

Operator’s Manual

WARNING

Read these instructions completely before using the 

SOLAR Battery Charger and save them for 

future reference. Before using the 

SOLAR Battery Charger to charge a battery, read these 

instructions and the instruction manual/safety information provided by the car, truck, boat or 
equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers’ instructions and safety procedures will 
reduce the risk of accident.

Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release explosive gases 
during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and follow these instructions for 
safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this manual and on the 

SOLAR Battery Charger 

each time you use the 

SOLAR Battery Charger.

All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in 
the presence of fire or sparks. 

Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near 

batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks 
are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the 

SOLAR Battery 

Charger and in the engine compartment.

Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when 
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.

Always store clamps away from each other or common conductors. Improper storage of clamps 
may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or a common conductor, which would 
be hazardous if the charger was plugged into an AC outlet.

Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause 
severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.

Batteries being charged with the 

SOLAR Battery Charger unit likely contain liquid acids which are 

hazardous if spilled.

Failure to follow instructions may cause 
damage or explosion, always shield eyes. 
Read entire instruction manual before use.
