Personal Safety Instructions

• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
• 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.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or
short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
• Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low
voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. DO NOT use this 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.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery.
• NEVER overcharge a battery.
• Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing or eyes.
• Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective clothing. Avoid
touching your eyes while working near the battery.
• If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid
enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 15 minutes and get
medical attention right away.
• If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT induce
vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
