Guest Trolling Charger 2607A Owner's Manual page 2

THIS CHARGER SHOULD BE USED TO CHARGE ONLY LEAD ACID, GEL CELL,
OR AGM BATTERIES. USE ON OTHER BATTERY TYPES MAY EXPLODE AND
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES! WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD ACID
BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THEREFORE IT IS OF THE UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
Personal Safety Precautions
Adhere to the following personal safety precautions when installing or working with the
chargers:
Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid when
1.
you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
2.
clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
3.
working near a battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and
4.
water. If acid enters the eye, flood the eye with cold, running water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention.
Never smoke or allow an open flame in the vicinity of the battery.
5.
Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It may spark, short circuit the battery and
6.
may cause an explosion.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
7.
when working near a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce short circuit currents
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Preparing to Charge Precautions
Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions:
Do NOT operate the charger if the cables or an LED is damaged.
1.
Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.
2.
If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the
3.
grounded terminal from the battery first.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being
4.
charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away using a piece of cardboard or other
non-metallic material as a "hand fan".
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with
5.
eyes.
