SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – Shock Hazards
1. This battery charger is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. NEVER attempt to charge a marine (boat) battery while the boat is on or near the water. A boat must be
on a trailer and located indoors before attempting to charge its battery(s). The boat manufacturer’s battery
charging instructions must be followed exactly.
3. NEVER set the charger, output cable or clamps, or ac power cord plug in water or on wet surfaces.
4. NEVER use this charger on a pier or dock. Charger could fall in water, creating an electric shock hazard.
5. NEVER attempt to plug in or operate the battery charger with defective or damaged wires, power cord, or
power cord plug. Have any of these parts that are defective or damaged replaced by qualified personnel
IMMEDIATELY.
6. NEVER attempt to plug in the charger or operate its controls with wet hands or while standing in water.
7. NEVER alter the ac power cord or power cord plug provided with the battery charger.
8. NEVER use an attachment not recommended or sold by Clore Automotive for use with this specific model
battery charger. Use of such attachment may result in risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
9. NEVER operate this battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or similarly damaged,
until after being inspected and/or repaired by qualified service personnel.
10. NEVER disassemble this battery charger. Take the battery charger to qualified service personnel when
service or repair is needed.
11. ALWAYS plug in and unplug the AC power cord by grasping the power cord plug, NOT THE POWER
CORD, to reduce risk of damaging power cord.
12. ALWAYS unplug the battery charger from the ac outlet before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
Turning the charger’s control(s) OFF, alone, will not remove all electricity from the charger.
13. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on

WARNING – Risk of Explosive Gases
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gasses during
normal operations and, at an even higher level, during charging. If anything is allowed to ignite these
gasses, the battery may explode, sending pieces of the battery and extremely caustic battery acid out in
all directions and with extreme force. Since just the slightest spark is sufficient to ignite these gasses, it is
of UTMOST IMPORTANCE that you read this manual and follow the instructions exactly, before using your
battery charger.
2. NEVER operate this battery charger near any fuel tanks or gas cylinders. This charger can produce sparks
that could ignite gasses and cause an explosion.
3. NEVER attempt to permanently mount this battery charger on a marine or recreational vehicle.
4. NEVER attempt to connect this charger’s output cables directly to the battery(s) in the bilge or engine
compartment of a boat. Follow the boat manufacturer’s battery charging instructions exactly.

WARNING – Battery Explosion Hazards
1. NEVER connect both battery charger clamps directly to the two posts of the same battery. See Operation
Instructions for connection procedures.
2. NEVER allow the dc output clamps to touch each other.
3. ALWAYS be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal object, such as a tool, onto or near
the battery. Doing so could produce a spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical part that could
cause an explosion.
4. NEVER operate the battery charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
5. ALWAYS make sure the area around a battery is well ventilated while it is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
6. ALWAYS make sure that the AC power cord is unplugged from the ac outlet or extension cord BEFORE
connecting or disconnecting the battery charger clamps, to prevent arcing or burning.
7. ALWAYS locate the battery charger as far away from the battery as the DC output cables will permit.
8. ALWAYS twist or rock charger clamps back and forth several times on the battery post and the other
point of connection at the time of initial connection. This helps keep the clamps from slipping off their
points of connection which helps reduce the risk of sparking. DO NOT rock the clamp connected to the
battery post AFTER the second connection (at a point away from the battery) is made or sparking may
occur at the battery post.
9. ALWAYS check the cable and wire connections at the battery(s) for tightness BEFORE starting to charge.
A loose connection can cause sparks or excessive heating which could cause a battery explosion.
10. ALWAYS make sure the battery compartment is open and well ventilated before charging.
WARNING – Moving Parts Hazards
1. NEVER connect the battery charger clamps to a vehicle when the engine is running.
2. ALWAYS stay clear of fan blades, fan belts, pulleys and other moving engine parts when working near an
engine. Moving engine parts can cause severe personal injury, including dismemberment.
3. ALWAYS make sure that the battery charger cables and clamps are positioned so they will not come in
contact with any moving engine parts.
4. NEVER wear loose clothing or long hair around moving parts because they may get caught and cause
severe injury or death.
WARNING – Burn Hazards
1. NEVER lean on or rest against the engine or cooling system parts when the vehicle is running.
2. ALWAYS stay clear of the cooling system, engine, and engine manifold. These engine components get
very hot and retain heat for a long time. Touching any of these components can cause severe burns.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
4. 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.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-
acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other
jewelry to metal, causing a severe burn.
8. Use charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage
electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell
batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to
persons and damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery, as battery explosion can result.
