GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY
1.
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 autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes,
vans, RV's, trolling, motors, etc. Charger is not intended to
supply power to low-voltage electrical system other than in
an automotive application.
WARNING:
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.
4.
When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug,
not by the cord. Pulling on the cord may cause damage to
cord or plug.
5.
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.
7.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
8.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified profes-
sional when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in electric shock or fire.
9.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
10. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely neces-
sary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire
or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger,
as specified below:
