1.6 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.7 An extension cord 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:
•
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.
1.8 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not
reduce this risk.
1.9 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
1.10 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person.
1.11 Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
1.12 WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS

EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
1.13 To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
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 on
these products and on the engine.
1.14 This charger employs parts, such as switches and circuit breakers, that tend to
