Operator's Manual
Read these instructions completely before using the SOLAR Battery Charger and save them for
future reference. Before using the SOLAR Battery Charger to charge a battery, read these
instructions and the instruction manual/safety information provided by the car, truck, boat or
equipment manufacturer. Following all manufacturers' instructions and safety procedures will
reduce the risk of accident.
Working around lead-acid batteries may be dangerous. Lead-acid batteries release explosive gases
during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Carefully read and follow these instructions for
safe use. Always follow the specific instructions in this manual and on the SOLAR Battery Charger
each time you use the SOLAR Battery Charger.
All lead-acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in
the presence of fire or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigarette lighter while near
batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing because static electricity sparks
are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed. Review all cautionary material on the SOLAR Battery
Charger and in the engine compartment.
Always wear eye protection, appropriate protective clothing and other safety equipment when
working near lead-acid batteries. Do not touch eyes while working on or around lead-acid batteries.
Always store clamps away from each other or common conductors. Improper storage of clamps
may cause the clamps to come in contact with each other, or a common conductor, which would
be hazardous if the charger was plugged into an AC outlet.
Use extreme care while working within the engine compartment, because moving parts may cause
severe injury. Read and follow all safety instructions published in the vehicle's Owner's Manual.
Batteries being charged with the SOLAR Battery Charger unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled.
