Important Safety Instructions

Read instructions and rules for safe operation carefully.

before using the charger.

The battery charger is ideal for recharging batteries in snowmobiles, ATVs, garden tractors and motorcycles. It

structions written in the manual, on the charger and carton.

2. Do not expose to rain or snow.

3. The use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the

charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric

shock, or injury to persons.

4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by

plug rather than by the cord when disconnecting charger.

5. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely

necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a

risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be

used, make sure:

size and shape as those of plug on charger.

b) the extension cord is property wired and in good electri-

cal condition; and

charger as specified in the following chart.

6. Do not operate the charger with damaged cord or plug; re-

place them 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 quali-

fied service person.

8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service

person when service or repair is necessary. Incorrect as-

sembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

9. To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the charger from

outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
