• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• To reduce risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
the battery manufacturer and/or the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use
or have nearby. Review all the cautionary markings.
• Do not expose charger to rain, snow, or liquids. Never submerge in water, burn or throw
away in domestic waste.
• Safety equipment, such as fire extinguisher or water to rinse eyes, should always be
nearby. Also make sure someone else is nearby in case of emergency.
• If battery acid enters in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters in contact with your eyes, immediately flush them with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
• Remove personal metal items when working near engines/motors and batteries.
• Always read the vehicle's user manual before connecting any charger to the vehicle or
its battery.
• Do not 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 instructions must be followed exactly.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure that the pins on plug of the extension are the same as on the charger, and
that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. The wire size
must be large enough and related to the AC amperage rating of the charger.
• If this device has been dropped, is damaged or is leaking, please have it controlled right
away by an authorized agent.
• Appliances containing batteries which contain hazardous materials for the environment:
a) Batteries contain lead and dilute sulfuric acid. Dispose of the battery in accordance
with federal, state and local regulations. Do not dispose of the battery in a landfill,
lake or natural environment. It must be recycled properly.
b) Scrap and replace the VRLA battery at or before the time indicated on the battery
or in the user's manual. Usage beyond the required time of service can cause fluid
leakage due to damages to the container, or cause fire due to power leakage.
• Battery chargers for charging automobile batteries:
a) The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to be connected first. The
other connection is to be made to the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line.
The battery charger is then to be connected to the supply mains.
b) After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the supply mains. Then remove
the chassis connection and then the battery connection.
