GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY

1. Use this charger for charging a 12 V LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage

electrical system other than in automotive applications. DO not use this battery charger for anything other than 12

volt rechargeable types of batteries. Charging batteries with other voltage ratings or “non-rechargeable” 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. Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.

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

c. Wire size is AWG#12 (12 gauge) to 100 feet and AWG#10 for distances over 100 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 anyway; take it to

a qualified service technician.

7. Do not disassemble charger; contact a qualified service technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect

reassembly may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
