Important Safety Instructions
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
Working in the 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.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer
of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and
on engine.

A.
GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY
1. Before you use your battery charger, read and follow all
instructions and cautions printed on:
• Battery Charger
• Battery
• Unit using battery
2. Use battery charger on Flooded Wet Cell, Maintenance Free
and Starved Electrolyte batteries only. Charger is not intended
to supply power to low-voltage electrical system other than for
charging and maintaining batteries.
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 manufacturer.
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 qua-
lified professional for inspection and repair.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified professional
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly 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 necessary.
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:
Length of cord (feet):
25
50
100
AWG size of cord:
16
14
12
11. Always charge battery in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER
operate in a closed-in or restricted area without
adequate ventilation.
12. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger cables
permit.
13.
NEVER
charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) is
frozen, bring into a warm area to thaw before charging.
14.
NEVER
allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
specific gravity or filling battery.
WARNING:
Battery chargers get hot during operation and
must have proper ventilation. Air needs to flow around
the charger. Do not set on flammable items like carpeting,
upholstery, paper, cardboard, etc. Will damage leather and
melt plastic and rubber.
