• Battery
• Vehicle or unit using battery
2.
Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable bat-
teries only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes,
vans, RV's, trolling motors, etc. Charger is not intended to
supply power to low-voltage electrical system other than in
an automotive application.
WARNING: 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.
3.
Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufac-
turer. Use of non-recommended attachments may result in
fire, electric shock, or injury.
4.
When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug
not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to
cord or plug.
5.
Locate battery power cord so it cannot be stepped on,
tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
6.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Have
cord replaced immediately.
7.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
8.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified profes-

10. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely neces-
sary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire
or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger,
as specified below:
_____________________________________________
Length of cord (feet): 25
AWG size of cord:

11. Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.
NEVER operate in a closed-in or restricted area without
adequate ventilation.
WARNING: Risk of explosive gas.
12. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger
cables permit.
13. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
14. NEVER charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) is
frozen, bring into a warm area to thaw before charging.
15. NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
specific gravity or filling battery.
16. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.
17. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged.
Gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
18. NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger is
energized.
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.
6.
Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the
battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery
or another electrical devise. Sparking may cause an
explosion.
7.
Always operate battery charger in an open well ventilated
area.
8.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!
