Keep out of reach of children.
1.2
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
1.3
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
1.4
of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when
1.5
disconnecting charger.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord

could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• The wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified in section 8.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug immediately.
1.7

1.8
take it to a qualified serviceman.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
1.9
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or
1.10
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
1.11
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
a.
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery
b.
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review

2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2.1
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
2.2
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
2.3
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
2.4
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.5
2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-
2.7
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.
Use charger for charging 6V and 12V LEAD-ACID (STD, AGM or GEL) rechargeable batteries. It is not
2.8
intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. 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.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
