GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY
1. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low volt-
age electrical system other than in automotive applications. Do not use battery charger for other types
of batteries, these may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
4. 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 extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is AWG #10 (10 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG #8 for distances over 100 feet.
5. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord or plug immediately.
6. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way; take it to a qualified service technician.
7. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service technician when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
