1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.1 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions.
1.2 This charger is not intended for use by children.
1.3 Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
1.4 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Schumacher®Electric
Corporation may result in a risk of re, electric shock or injury to persons.
1.5 To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than
the cord when disconnecting charger.
1.6 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those
of plug on charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition
• The wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger, as specied in
section 8.
1.7 Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug
immediately.
1.8 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualied serviceman.
1.9 Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualied serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.
1.10 To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
1.11 WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY

2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
2.4 If battery 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 get medical attention immediately.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.6 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.
2.7 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use charger for charging only 6V and 12V LEAD-ACID (STD or AGM)
rechargeable batteries with recommended rated capacities of 12Ah (6V) and
5-33Ah (12V). 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.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
2.10 WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
3. PREPARING TO CHARGE
3.1 If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded
terminal from battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as
not to cause an arc.
3.2 Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
3.3 Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
3.4 Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specied by battery
manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
