 Before disconnecting the battery, turn off the charger by pressing the stop button on the front
panel. The GSE SVS-100 is designed to automatically stop a charge event to prevent arcing
or burning of the charger connections in the event of a hot disconnect.
 The charging cables must be sized for the full rated current of the GSE SVS-100, and
inspected frequently for wear, cuts and abrasion. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or
poorly spliced cable.

The GSE SVS-100 power connector is subject to normal wear and tear, and may be
damaged by misuse or abuse. Frequently inspect the connector for cracking, pitting of
contacts, fraying of wires or signs of connector fatigue. A damaged charging connector
should be replaced immediately.
