IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Keep out of reach of children.
1.2
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
1.3 Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
1.4 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug
rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.5 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 an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same size and shape
as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as
specified in Section 8.
1.6 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
1.7 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.
1.8 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; take it to a qualified
service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.9 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person. (Call
customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.10 Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
