FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE
USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published
by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to

GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY
1. Use this charger for charging a 12 V LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended
to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in automotive
applications. Do not use this battery charger for other types of batteries, these
may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufac-
turer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
4. 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, and will
void warranty.
If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as
those of plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is AWG #18 (18 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG #16 for distances
over 100 feet.

ice or repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire, and will void warranty.
