SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – Shock Hazards
1. This battery charger is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. NEVER attempt to charge a marine (boat) battery while the boat is on or near the water. A boat must be
on a trailer and located indoors before attempting to charge its battery(s). The boat manufacturer's battery
charging instructions must be followed exactly.
3. NEVER set the charger, output cable or clamps, or ac power cord plug in water or on wet surfaces.
4. NEVER use this charger on a pier or dock. Charger could fall in water, creating an electric shock hazard.
5. NEVER attempt to plug in or operate the battery charger with defective or damaged wires, power cord, or
power cord plug. Have any of these parts that are defective or damaged replaced by qualified personnel
IMMEDIATELY.
6. NEVER attempt to plug in the charger or operate its controls with wet hands or while standing in water.
7. NEVER alter the ac power cord or power cord plug provided with the battery charger.

could result in a fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
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 the wire size is large enough for the length of cord as specified below:
Length of cord in feet:
AWG size of cord:
WARNING – Risk of Explosive Gases
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gasses during
normal operations and, at an even higher level, during charging. If anything is allowed to ignite these
gasses, the battery may explode, sending pieces of the battery and extremely caustic battery acid out in
all directions and with extreme force. Since just the slightest spark is sufficient to ignite these gasses, it is
of UTMOST IMPORTANCE that you read this manual and follow the instructions exactly, before using your
battery charger.
2. NEVER operate this battery charger near any fuel tanks or gas cylinders. This charger can produce sparks
that could ignite gasses and cause an explosion.
3. NEVER attempt to permanently mount this battery charger on a marine or recreational vehicle.
4. NEVER attempt to connect this charger's output cables directly to the battery(s) in the bilge or engine
compartment of a boat. Follow the boat manufacturer's battery charging instructions exactly.
