is of utmost importance that prior to each use of your charger, you read this manual and follow the
instructions exactly.
Il est dangereux de travailler a proximité
d’une batterie au plomb. Les batteries produisent des gaz explosifs en service
normal. Il est aussi important de toujours relire les instructions avant d’utiliser le chargeur et de les suivre à la lettre.
Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
Ne pas faire fonctionner le chargeur dans un espace close et/ou ne pas gener la ventilation.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with eyes.
Add distilled water to each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive
gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
When using an extension cord, make sure:
• that pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as
those of the charger’s plug;
• that extension cord meets UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) acceptance;
• that wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger.
Always make your extension cord connection on the charger side before connecting to a nearby
GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Failure to use a GFCI outlet may result in
electrical shock. Note: The DC connection should always be made before connecting or
disconnecting the AC side.
Note: Extension cords should be industrial grade/heavy duty UL approved and grounded. Check extension cord before use
for damage, bent prongs and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Connect the extension cord to the charger; then proceed to plug the extension cord to the GFCI protected (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the GFCI protected outlet first when charging is completed, followed by unplugging
the charger.
GENERAL OPERATION
Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell and AGM) or Lithium
(LiFe) battery system only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst, causing personal injury and
damage to property.
Ut
iliser le chargeur pour charger une batterie au plomb uniquement. Ce chargeur n’est pas concu pour alimenter un réseau
électrique très basse tension ni pour charger des piles sè
ches. Le fait d’utiliser le charger des piles sèchespourait entrainer
l’éclatement des piles et causer des blessures ou des dommages.
DO NOT attempt to attach a charger to a battery pack if the output of the charger does not match the
battery pack voltage. Example: Model i-3625 is a 36 volt output charger and is only usable on 36
volt battery systems. Charger and battery damage can occur.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might cause a spark or
short-circuit a battery or other electrical part, possibly resulting in an explosion. If damaged, contact
PCS (800.742.2740).
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Ne jamais charger une batterie gelée.
Assure that the area around your charger and batteries is properly ventilated. Connect your extension cord, with no AC
Power present, to the battery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord into a 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
