1.1 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

This manual contains important safety

and operating instructions.

1.2 Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

1.3 Use of an attachment not recommended

or sold by the battery charger

manufacturer may result in a risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons.

1.4 To reduce the risk of damage to electric

plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than

the cord when disconnecting charger.

1.5 An extension cord should not be used

unless absolutely necessary. Use of

improper extension cord could result

in a risk of re and electric shock. If an

extension cord must be used, make sure:

• That the pins on plug of extension cord

are the same number, size and shape as

those of plug on charger.

• That extension cord is properly wired and

in good electrical condition; and

• That wire size is large enough for AC

ampere rating of charger as specied in

the section 8.

1.6 Do not operate charger with damaged

cord or plug – replace the cord or plug

immediately.

1.7 Do not operate charger if it has received

a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise

damaged in any way; take it to a qualied

serviceman.

1.8 Do not disassemble charger; take it to

a qualied serviceman when service or

repair is required. Incorrect reassembly

may result in a risk of electric shock or re.

1.9 To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug

charger from outlet before attempting

any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off

controls will not reduce this risk.

1.10 WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE

GASES.

a. 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

YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS

EACH TIME YOU USE THE

CHARGER.

b. To reduce risk of battery explosion,

follow these instructions and those

published by battery manufacturer

and manufacturer of any equipment

you intend to use in vicinity of battery.

Review cautionary marking on these

products and on engine.

1.11 Pursuant to California Proposition 65, this

product contains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2.1 Consider having someone close enough

by to come to your aid when you work

near a lead-acid battery.

2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap

nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,

clothing, or eyes.

2.3 Wear complete eye protection and

clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes

while working near battery.

2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,

wash immediately with soap and water.

If acid enters eye, immediately ood

eye with running cold water for at least

10 minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame

in vicinity of battery or engine.

2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of

dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might

spark or short-circuit battery or other

electrical part that may cause explosion.

2.7 Remove personal metal items such as

rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches

when working with a lead-acid battery. A

lead-acid battery can produce a short-

circuit current high enough to weld a ring

or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

2.8 Use charger for charging LEAD-ACID and

AGM-type rechargeable batteries with

recommended rated capacities of 24 Ah

(6V) and 44-75Ah (12V). It is not intended

to supply power to a low voltage electrical

system other than in a starter-motor

application. Do not use battery charger

for charging dry-cell batteries that are

commonly used with home appliances.

These batteries may burst and cause

injury to persons and damage to property.

2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
