CAUTION
-
The dual AC input charger may be equipped with an AC voltage select switch located
on the front of the unit which will allow you to connect the charger to one of two AC supply
voltages. You must be absolutely sure that the switch matches the supply voltage to which the
charger will be connected.
In most cases, chargers having an external AC voltage select switch will also have a detachable
power supply cord. This cord/plug assembly must match the wall receptacle to which it will be
connected. If the detachable power cord is not proper for your application
DO NOT
modify. You
must secure the cord that is required or call the factory for guidance. Some models may be
equipped with a fixed power cord.
Installation of a charger consists of providing a proper AC power source and selecting a proper
location. Even though the charger is portable, a permanent location for operation is strongly
recommended. The permanent location must have enough room to bring in equipment for charging.
Always set the charger on a flat hard surface to insure proper air circulation under and around it.
The area must be well ventilated, because explosive hydrogen gas is generated while charging the
batteries. Exercise caution to avoid possible open flame or electrical sparks near the operation.
For general safety, do not place the charger on the floor. Make sure that the AC line cord and DC
output cables do not obstruct traffic.

Pre-operating Procedure
!
CAUTION
-
Impurities in tap water will damage battery plates.
If you have a wet battery system, check fluid level in each cell and, if necessary, add enough
filtered or distilled water to cover the battery plates, but do not allow fluid to rise into the cell
filler necks. IF LOW, ALWAYS FILL CELL, ONLY TO PROPER LEVEL, AFTER CHARGE CYCLE. SEE
BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS. SVR Battery systems are sealed and should not be opened. The addition of
water is not required.

WARNING
-
Hydrogen gas, formed while charging, is explosive. Avoid open flame or electrical
spark near battery. To avoid accumulation of gas, be sure batteries are charged in a well-ventilated
area.

DANGER
-
Visually and manually inspect to verify the DC output cord set, plug and battery
charging receptacle are in good working condition before each and every use and do not use the
charger if:
