and explosive. Therefore, observe the following before recharging:
● If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
● Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and discon-
necting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
