WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

1. 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 manufac-

turer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary mark-
ings on these products and on engine.

GENERAL SAFETY

1.

Use this charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical sys-
tem other than in a starter-motor application. DO not use this battery charger for dry-cell batteries that are commonly used
with home appliances. These batteries 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. Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
b. Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. Wire size is AWG#14 (14 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG#12 for distances over 100 feet.

5.

Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - take to a qualified service technician for replacement of the cord or
plug immediately.

6.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in anyway; take it to a qual-
ified service technician.

7.

Do not disassemble charger; contact a qualified service technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassem-
bly may result in 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
charger controls will not reduce this risk.

9.

Do not operate charger in rain or snow or use when wet.

10. Never charge a frozen battery.
