GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY:
1. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufac-
turer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary mark-
ing on these products and on engine.
2. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage
electrical system other than in an automotive application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-
cell batteries that are commonly used with home and portable appliances. These batteries may burst and
cause injury to persons and damage to property.
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 an improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If 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 AWG #18 (18 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG #16 for distances over 100 feet.
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. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
11. Never charge a frozen battery
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 EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS
MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
