BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not expose the battery charger to rain or snow unless it is a sealed model.

result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. Do not disassemble the battery charger; return it to the manufacturer or an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire. Voltages in excess of 350 volts are present inside the charger any
time it is plugged into a power source, even if it is switched off.

damage battery charger.
6. Never allow battery acid to drip on to the battery charger.
