THIS CHARGER SHOULD BE USED TO CHARGE ONLY 12 VOLT DC LEAD ACID
OR GEL CELL TYPE BATTERIES. USE ON OTHER BATTERY TYPES MAY
EXPLODE AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES! WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD ACID
BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THEREFORE IT IS OF THE UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
Personal Safety Precautions
Adhere to the following personal safety precautions when installing or working with the
chargers:
Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid when
1.
you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
2.
clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
3.
working near a battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and
4.
water. If acid enters the eye, flood the eye with cold, running water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention.
Never smoke or allow an open flame in the vicinity of the battery.
5.
Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It may spark, short circuit the battery and
6.
may cause an explosion.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
7.
when working near a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce short circuit currents
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
8. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID or GEL Battery only. It is not intended to supply power
to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter motor application. Do not use battery
charger for charging dry cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons or damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
