WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.

BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY

OPERATION. 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 use in vicinity of battery. Review 

cautionary markings on these products and on engine.

GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY

1. Use this charger for charging a 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 manufacturer 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.

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 #16 (16 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG #14 for distances over 100 feet.

5. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace immediately.
6. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take 

it to a qualified service technician.

7. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect

reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

8. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning

off controls will not reduce this risk.

9. Do not expose charger to rain, snow or use when wet.
10. Never charge a frozen battery.
