AND MANUAL 6 VOLT 15 AMPERE BATTERY CHARGE

WORKING IN 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 and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery.

GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY:

Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.

1. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage

electrical system other than in an automotive application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-

cell batteries that are commonly used with home and portable appliances. These batteries may burst and

cause injury to persons and damage to property.

2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk

of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

3. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting

charger.

4. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord

could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:

a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those

of plug on charger.

b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and

c. That wire size is AWG #16 (16 gauge) for up to 25 feet; AWG #12 (12 gauge) for up to 50 feet;

AWG # 10 (10 gauge) for up to 100 feet; and AWG # 8 (8 gauge) for up to 150 feet.

5. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord or plug immediately.

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

way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

7. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.

Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

8. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or

cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

9. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

10. Never charge a frozen battery
