PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Wear complete eye protection and
protective clothing when working near
lead-acid batteries. Always have someone
nearby for help.
•
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking
soda nearby for use, in case battery acid
contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash
immediately with soap and water and seek
medical attention.
•
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes,
flush eyes immediately for a minimum 10
minutes and get medical attention.
•
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with
baking soda before attempting to clean up.
•
Remove all personal metal items from your
body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
and watches. A battery can produce a short
circuit current high enough to weld a ring to
metal, causing a severe burn.
•
Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.
•
If it is necessary to remove the battery from
the vehicle to charge it, always remove the
grounded terminal first.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all cord wraps and uncoil the cables prior to using the battery charger.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
This battery charger is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the
receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an
ungrounded system.
NOTE:
Pursuant to Canadian Regulations,
use of an adapter plug is not allowed in
Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the
United States is not recommended and
should not be used.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, follow these guidelines:
•
Pins on plug of extension cord must be the
same number, size, and shape as those of
plug on charger.
•
Ensure that the extension cord is properly
wired and in good electrical condition.
•
