A. WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
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 THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON (1) BATTERY
CHARGER, (2) BATTERY AND (3) PRODUCT USING BATTERY EACH
TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
1. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
2. To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by VDC Electronics 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 by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
6. 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. Not to operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or
plug immediately.
c. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
d. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified
in
Recommended Minimum AWG Size Table
