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

batteries 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

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

qualified professional for inspection and repair.

professional when service or repair is required. Incorrect

reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.

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 50 100 150

adequate ventilation.

12. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger

cables permit.

is frozen, bring into a warm area to thaw before charging.

15. NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading

specific gravity or filling battery.

16. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.

17. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged.
