POWER CORD CARE:
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; replace them immediate- ly. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric
plug and cord, please pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting. Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped or tripped on or otherwise subjected to damage or unnecessary wear.
EXTENSION CORDS:
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. An improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
If you find that an extension cord must be used, please make sure that:
a) Extension cords must be grounded 110V AC cords of the proper gauge wire for the length of the extension cords (see graph in
charger lid).
b) The cord is properly wired and is in good electrical condition.
c) The wire size conforms to the guidelines printed in the lid.
MAINTENANCE:
Do not disassemble this charger. Incorrect assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug the charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not reduce this risk. Do
not operate charger if it has been damaged in any way. Contact Pulse Tech Products Corp. at 800-580-7554 for repairs.
!WARNING!
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. THUS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EACH OPERATOR OF THIS CHARGER READS AND UNDERSTANDS
THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOWS THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY.
To reduce the risk of battery explosions, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manu-
facturer of any other equipment used in the vicinity of batteries. Also review the cautionary messages on this charger, on the battery
and on the vehicle.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you are working near a lead-acid
battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes.
Always wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working with batteries. If battery acid contacts skin or
clothing, wash immediately with soap and plenty of water. If acid gets in your eye, immediately flood the eye with running water for
at least 10 minutes and get medical attention as soon as possible.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or vehicle engine. Be extra careful not to drop any metal tool or
battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or some other electrical part that may cause an explosion. Use this charger for
charging lead-acid batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to any low voltage electrical system other than in an automotive
application. Do not use this charger on common household dry cell batteries. These batteries may burst and cause serious injuries
and property damage.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with an automotive lead acid battery.
The battery can produce a short circuit current large enough to weld a ring or other jewelry, causing a severe burn.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
