Important Safety Instructions
5. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
6. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by ProMariner may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
7. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
8. Extension cords should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used make sure:
a. Pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those
on the plug of the charger.
b. Use only a properly wired extension cord in good electrical condition.
c. Use an industrial grade / heavy duty UL or CSA approved and grounded extension cord.
Check extension cord before use for damage, bent prongs, and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Always make your extension cord connection on the charger side first.
After connecting
the extension cord to the charger proceed to plug the extension cord into a
nearby GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet
. Below are
manufacturer recommendations for the right size UL or CSA Approved grounded extension cord.
i. Up to 50 feet in length use a 3 conductor 14 AWG extension cord.
ii. 50 to 100 feet in length use a 3 conductor 12 AWG extension cord.
iii. 100 to 150 feet in length use a 3 conductor 10 AWG extension cord.
9. Do not operate charger if any protective AC and DC cable insulation, charging clamps, DC fuse
holders and/or maintainer ring terminals have been damaged or compromised. Return the charger
for service and repair to ProMariner immediately.
10. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Return the charger for service and repair to ProMariner immediately.
11. Do not disassemble charger. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
If service or repair is required please call ProMariner customer service at 800-824-0524
between 8:30am-5pm (EST) Monday through Friday, or via www.promariner.com. Unauthorized
attempts to service, repair or modify may result in a risk of electrical shock, fire or explosion
and will void warranty.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
13. Do not expose AC power cord connection to rain or snow.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
a. Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with
an electric cord having in equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into
a GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet
that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Never alter AC cord or plug provided - If it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
b. This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle
as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded GFCI protected outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER
Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded.
The green-colored rigid ear or leg extending from adapter must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet - make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate
screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make
ground connection to grounded GFCI protected outlet.
Use of an adapter is not allowed in Canada. If a grounding type receptacle is not available,
do not use this appliance until the proper GFCI protected outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.
