GENERIC SAFETY GUIDELINES

DANGER

The charger must be connected to a properly grounded AC receptacle. Improper

connection will increase the risk of electric shock and can cause severe personal injury

or death.

WARNING

• Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells at all times. Do not

work with or charge a battery in an area where open flames (including gas furnace or

water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present.

Always provide ample ventilation in rooms where batteries are being charged. Failure

to do so may result in severe bodily injury and/or property damage.

• DO NOT disassemble the charger. There are no user serviceable components in the

charger. Refer all repairs to a qualified technician. Incorrect repair or reassembly of

the charger can result in an explosion, electric shock, or fire.

• Use of extension cords is not recommended. Improper use of an extension cord may

result in fire.

• The Signet, Lester, and Delta-Q chargers are for lead acid batteries only. Charging

other types of batteries may cause the battery to burst or explode causing severe

personal injury and/or property damage.

• Do not attempt to operate the vehicle while charging the battery. Operating the charger

and vehicle at the same time may lead to damage to the charger and/or the vehicle

resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• This charger requires a standard household 15 Amp electrical circuit. Before plugging

the charger in, confirm that your charging station is configured correctly. DO NOT

attempt to charge two vehicles on one standard household 15A circuit. Failure to

confirm the proper charging station configuration or attempting to charge two vehicles

may result in fire.

• Do not charge any battery that is, or is suspected to be frozen. Charging a frozen battery

may result in explosive rupturing of the case due to a build up of internal pressure.

This may causing severe bodily injury and will cause property damage.

• The charger should not be used by children or any personnel with mental or sensory

disabilities. Incorrect usage due to inability to understand operation may cause severe

personal injury and/or property damage.

NOTICE

The Start switch must be in the "OFF"

position when charging the batteries.

Failure to turn the Start switch "OFF"

may result in damage to the vehicle's

electrical system.
