Safety Information - Solar Charge IT! 4745 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety information. DO NOT OPERATE this equipment UNTIL YOU HAVE READ this safety summary!
Read these instructions completely before using the Battery Charger and save them for future
reference. Before using the 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 Battery Charger each
time you use the 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 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 Battery Charger unit likely contain liquid acids which are
hazardous if spilled.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or
dispose of in fire or water.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
