IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery
charger Models BEX-1500, BEX-3000, and BEX-5000.
2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
5. 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:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and
shape as those of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger as
specified in Table 1.
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug, replace the cord or plug
immediately.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not
reduce this risk.
10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a) 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 YOU FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
b) 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
marking on these products and on engine
.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
d) 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.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
MOUNTING
Mounting holes are provided on both ends of the unit. It is recommended that
you mount the Battery Extender to a wall or other secure surface. This will keep
it out of the way and prevent damage due to accidents.
IMPORTANT!
A clean battery and battery terminals insure proper operation of the Battery
Extender and the vehicle charging system. Dirty terminals may put a constant
slow drain on the battery. If your battery and terminals have a white or blueish
crust on them, your charging system may be having problems. Have the vehicle
electrical system checked by a qualified automotive service technician.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Always keep your Battery Extender clean and looking like new! Unplug the
Battery Extender, and use a slightly dampened cloth to clean the housing and
lead sets. Use no solvents or soaps.
OVERLOAD AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES
The Battery Extender is equipped with two overload protectors.
In the event of minor overloads, power will be reduced to a safe level to allow
continued use in maintenance mode only. The second protector will activate
in the event of major overload and completely turn the unit off. The second
protector is temporary and will reset automatically in a short amount of time.
