Do not mount the DLS in a zero clearance compartment or
in compartments with flammable items such as gasoline
or batteries.
Do not mount the DLS in an area with the potential of
dust, debris, or other foreign materials entering the vents
of the DLS.
Use of an attachment or device with the DLS not recom-
mended by IOTA Engineering will void the warranty and
may result in a risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to
persons.
To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord,
always pull by the plug and not the cord when disconnect-
ing the unit.
DO NOT operate the DLS with a damaged cord or plug.
DO NOT operate the DLS if it has been dropped, received
a sharp blow, or has been otherwise damaged in any way.
Take the DLS unit to a qualified service location.
DO NOT disassemble the DLS unit. Take the DLS to
a qualified service location when service or repair is
required.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, DISCONNECT the
DLS charger from ALL power sources before attempt-
ing any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off any electri-
cal supply or load to the unit is not sufficient and will not
reduce this risk.
DO NOT use extension cords. Using an improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock, and may result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD-
ACID BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE

OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS
OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN
USING THE BATTERY CHARGER.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow
these instructions and those published by the
