IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
1.
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
Keep out of reach of children.
1.1
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
1.2
Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended
1.3
or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather
1.4
than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
1.5
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size
•
and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
•
That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger
•
as specified in section 8.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before
1.6
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not
reduce this risk.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have the cord or plug
1.7
replaced immediately by a qualified service person. (Call customer service at:
1-800-621-5485.)
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
1.8
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person. (Call
customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when
1.9
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)

To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
1.11
published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings
