IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safet and operating instructions for
batter charger Models
2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold b the batter charger manufacturer ma result in a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injur to persons.
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull b plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
5. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutel necessar . Use of 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 properl wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger as specified in Table 47.1.
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord or plug immediatel .
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in an wa ;
take it to a qualified serviceman.
8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembl ma result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting an maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off controls will not reduce this risk
10. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
a) 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.
b) To reduce risk of batter explosion, follow these instructions and those published b batter manufactu-
rer and manufacturer of an equipment ou intend to use in vicinit of batter . Review cautionar mar-
king on these products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Someone should be within range of our voice or close enough to come to our aid when ou work near
a lead-acid batter .
b) Have plent of fresh water and soap nearb in case batter acid contacts skin, clothing, or e es.
c) Wear complete e e protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching e es while working near batter .
d) If batter acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediatel with soap and water. If acid enters e e,
immediatel flood e e with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immedi-
atel .
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinit of batter or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto batter . It might spark or short-circuit
batter or other electrical part that ma cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
lead-acid batter . A lead-acid batter can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID batter onl . It is not intended to suppl power to a low voltage
electrical s stem other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use batter charger for charging dr -
cell batteries that are commonl used with home appliances. These batteries ma burst and cause
injur to persons and damage to propert .
i) NEVER charge a frozen batter .
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessar to remove batter from vehicle to charge, alwa s remove grounded terminal from batter
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around batter is well ventilated while batter is being charged. Gas can be forcefull
blown awa b using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.
c) Clean batter terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with e es.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until batter acid reaches level specified b batter manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a batter without cell caps, carefull follow
manufacturer’s recharging instructions
