IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
1.2 Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
1.3 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug
rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.4 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
an 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 the plug of the extension cord are the same number,
size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the
charger as specified in Section 8.2.
1.5 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the
controls will not reduce this risk.
1.6 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.
1.7 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; take it to a quali-
fied service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.8 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped
or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person.
(Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.9 Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
fire or electric shock. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
