required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR
THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING
YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery.
Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-
circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches, when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
8. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID 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 and damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
