SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This document contains important safety and operating
instructions for Model PSC-12-10A Battery Chargers. Before using the battery charger,
please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, the battery,
and the product using the battery.
CAUTION!
- To reduce the risk of electric shock:
•
Do not expose unit to rain or moisture - use indoors only.
•
Do not remove cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to
qualified service personnel.
•
Connect the battery charger directly to a grounding receptacle. An adaptor should
not be used with this unit. This unit is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug (3-prong). The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local and national codes and ordinances.
•
Disconnect charger from AC power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off controls may not reduce this risk.
WARNING!
- Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only sealed or
valve regulated, lead-acid, non-automotive, maintenance free rechargeable batteries.
Attempting to charge other types of batteries may result in personal injury and battery
damage.
•
The heat sink and enclosure will become hot during the charge cycle -
DO NOT
TOUCH!
•
Connect or disconnect the output connectors only when the unit is disconnected from
AC power or arcing and burning may result (due to the possible presence of
explosive gases).
DANGER!
- Never alter power cord or plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, replace the
power cord with the proper type of cord or have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection will result in the risk of an electric shock or fire.
Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate this unit with a damaged cord or plug -
replace them immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug, pull by plug rather
than cord when disconnecting unit.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way. Do not disassemble charger; incorrect reassembly will result in the risk of an
electric shock or fire. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
Recharge batteries in well ventilated areas to prevent build-up of explosive gases. Allow
space around the charger and adequate air circulation to reduce internal heat buildup.
