PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear complete eye protecon and clothing protecon. Avoid touching eyes while working near baery. Have
plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case baery acid contacts skin, clothing, eyes, or other surfaces. If
baery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
ood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical aenon promptly.
• Dress properly. Wear protecve, electrically nonconducve clothes, and nonskid footwear. Remove personal
metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid baery. A lead-
acid baery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a se-
vere burn. Wear restricve hair covering to contain long hair.
• Avoid Working Alone. Be sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid baery.
• Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do Not operate any PCS product when you are
red.
• Keep Children Away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines,
tools, baery chargers, or extension cords.
• Observe Work Area Condions. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of a baery or engine.
Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
• Do Not Overreach. Keep proper foong and balance at all mes. Do not reach over or across electrical cables
or frames.
• Avoid Electrical Shock. To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug charger from outlet before aempng any
maintenance or cleaning.
• Do Not Operate PCS Product With Damaged Electrical Cord or Plug. To reduce risk of damage to the electrical
plug and cord, pull by plug rather than by the cord when disconnecng charger. If damaged, replace the elec-
trical cord or plug immediately.
• Store Idle Equipment. When not in use, store equipment in a dry locaon to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools
and equipment and keep out of reach of children.
• Maintain PCS Product Care. Inspect periodically and, if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or other-
wise damaged in any way, have it repaired by an authorized technician. Do not disassemble charger; contact
PCS technical support when service or repair is required (800.742.2740). Incorrect reassembly may result in
risk of electrical shock or re.
• Check for Damaged Parts. Before using any PCS product, carefully check any part that appears damaged to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended funcon. Check for broken parts and any oth-
er condion that may aect proper operaon. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or re-
placed by a qualied technician. Do not use the charger if any part does not operate properly.
• Replacement Parts and Accessories. When maintaining, only use accessories intended for use with this PCS
product. Approved accessories are available from Pro Charging Systems (800.742.2740).

To reduce risk of baery explosion, follow these instrucons, those published by the
baery manufacturer, and by the manufacturer of any equipment that you intend to use in
the vicinity of baery. Review all cauonary markings on these products and on the
engine.
Pour réduire le risque d’explosion, lire ces instrucons et celles qui gurent sur la baerie.
If it is necessary to relocate the baery for charging, rst remove the grounded terminal from the baery.
Then make sure all accessories are o, so as not to cause baery arcing.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGER-
OUS. Baeries generate explosive gases during normal baery operaon. For this reason, it
is of utmost importance that prior to each use of your charger, you read this manual and follow the instruc-
ons exactly. Il est dangereux de travailler a proximité d’une baerie au plomb. Les baeries produisent des gaz
explosifs en service normal. Il est aussi important de toujours relire les instrucons avant d’uliser le chargeur et
de les suivre à la lere.
Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict venlaon in any way.
Ne pas faire fonconner le chargeur dans un espace close et/ou ne pas gener la venlaon.
Clean baery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with eyes. Add dislled water to
each cell unl baery acid reaches level specied by baery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from
cells. Do not overll. For a baery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instrucons.
Study all baery manufacturers’ specic precauons such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging
and recommended rates of charge.
When using an extension cord, make sure:
• that pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of the charger’s
plug;
• that extension cord meets UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) acceptance;
• that wire size is large enough for AC ampere rang of charger.
Always make your extension cord connecon on the charger side before connecng to a near-
by 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Failure to use a GFCI out-
let may result in electrical shock. Note: U(Universal) chargers should be connected to a 110, 115 or 230VAC
GFCI protected outlet. The DC connecon should always be made before connecng or disconnecng the AC
side.
Note: Extension cords should be industrial grade/heavy duty UL approved and grounded. Check extension cord
before use for damage, bent prongs and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Connect the extension cord to the charger; then proceed to plug the extension cord to the GFCI protected
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the GFCI protected outlet rst when charging is completed, followed by
unplugging the charger.

Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID (lead acid, sealed lead acid, gel cell and AGM) baery
only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a
starter-motor applicaon. Do not use baery charger for charging dry-cell baeries that are
commonly used with home
appliances. These baeries may burst, causing personal injury and damage to property.
Uliser le chargeur pour charger une baerie au plomb uniquement. Ce chargeur n’est pas concu pour alimenter
un réseau électrique très basse tension ni pour charger des piles sèches. Le fait d’uliser le charger des piles sèch-
espourait entrainer l’éclatement des piles et causer des blessures ou des dommages.
DO NOT aempt to aach a charger to a baery pack if the output of the charger does not match the baery
pack voltage. Example: Model i-3625 is a 36 volt output charger and is only usable on 36 volt baery systems.
NEVER connect to just one baery (ie. 6V) in the pack. Damage can occur.
Be extra cauous to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto baery. It might cause a spark or short-circuit a
baery or other electrical part, possibly resulng in an explosion. If damaged, contact PCS
(615.471.5300).
NEVER charge a frozen baery.
Ne jamais charger une baerie gelée.
Assure that the area around your charger and baeries is properly venlated. Connect your extension cord, with
no AC Power present, to the baery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord into a
120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Risk of electrical shock! Do not touch uninsulated parts of the baery charger output
connector, baery connector, or baery terminals.
Once you plug in your PCS baery charging system, the charge cycle will begin automacally.
State of charge will be displayed by illuminaon of the Light Eming Diodes (LEDS) on the
baery status indicator located on the front of the unit.
DO NOT connect or disconnect the DC output electrical cord to or from the baery
receptacle when the charger is on. Arcing and / or burning of the plug and receptacle could result and could
cause the baeries to explode. If the charger must be stopped, rst
disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet, then disconnect the charger DC output
plug from the baery receptacle.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in. This will reduce sulfaon on the lead
plates of the baeries and allow your PCS charging system to keep your baeries fully main-
tained and ready to perform at their best.
Study all baery manufacturers’ specic precauons such as removing or not removing cell caps while charg-
ing and recommended rates of charge.
Prendre connaissance des measures de précauon spéciés par le fabricant de la baerie, p. ex., vérier s’il faut
enlever les bouchons des cellules lors du chargement de la baerie, et les taux de chargement recommandés.
