 Disconnect battery charger from input power and battery connections before installing or
servicing. Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147.

Do not expose to rain or perform installation/service/repair work when in standing water.
 A Charge can be stopped by disconnecting the output cable connector or by pressing the stop
button on the front panel. The SVS-300 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 SVS-300, and inspected
frequently for wear, cuts and abrasion. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly
spliced cable.

The SVS-300 charging 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.
