Personal Safety Precautions
Always read all instructions before using your charger!
1.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery. Have plenty of fresh water
and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. If
battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water
for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
2.
Dress properly.
Wear protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid
footwear. 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. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
3.
Avoid working alone.
Be sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough
to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
4.
Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any
charger when you are tired.
5.
Keep children away.
Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, battery chargers, or extension cords.
6.
Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
7.
Observe work area conditions.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of
battery or engine. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
8.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across electrical cables or frames.
9.
Avoid electrical shock.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
10.
Do not operate charger with damaged electrical cord or plug.
To reduce risk of
damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. If damaged, replace the electrical cord or plug immediately.
11.
Store idle equipment.
When not in use, store equipment in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and equipment and keep out of reach of children.
12.
Maintain charger with care.
Inspect periodically and, if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way, have repaired by an authorized
technician. Do not disassemble charger; contact the factory when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
13.
Check for damaged parts.
Before using any battery charger, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for any broken parts and any other condition that
may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the charger if any part does not operate
properly.
14.

intended for use with this charger. Approved accessories are available from Charging
