Before you use your battery charger, be sure to read all
instructions and cautions printed on:
• Battery Charger
• Battery
• Vehicle or unit using battery
2.
Use battery charger on LEAD ACID type rechargeable bat-
teries only, such as used in trucks, autos, tractors, airplanes,
trolling motors, vans, RV's, etc. Charger is not intended to
supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than

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.
3.
Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufac-
turer. Use of non-recommended attachments may result in
fire, electric shock, or injury.

When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug
not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to
cord or plug.

Locate battery power cord so it cannot be stepped on,
tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
6.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. Have
cord replaced immediately.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to a

sional when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in electric shock or fire.
