hELP US hELP yOU ——  
Remember:  
Place.charger.as.far.away.from.the.  
battery.being.charged.as.the.charger.  
cables.will.permit.  
Do not.expose.charger.to.rain.or.snow.  
Never.charge.a.frozen.battery..If.battery.  
fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring  
battery.into.a.warm.area.to.allow.battery.  
to.thaw.before.you.begin.charging.  
•. Never.use.charger.for.charging.dry.  
cell.batteries.that.are.commonly.used.  
with.home.appliances.like.radios,.ste-  
reos,.remote.controls,.etc..These.bat-  
teries.may.burst.and.cause.personal.  
injury.  
Never.allow.battery.acid.to.drip.on.  
charger when reading specific gravity or  
filling battery.  
•. Do.not.disassemble.charger..Take.it.  
to a qualified service professional if  
service.or.repair.is.required..Incorrect.  
assembly may result in fire or electri-  
cal.shock.  
Never.set.a.battery.on.top.of.charger.  
Never.place.charger.directly.above.  
battery.being.charged..The.gases.from.  
the.battery.will.corrode.and.damage.the.  
charger.  
•. To.reduce.risk.of.electrical.shock,.  
unplug.the.charger.from.the.110V.AC.  
electrical.wall.outlet.before.attempting.  
any.maintenance.or.cleaning.  
Never.touch.the.battery.clamps.together.  
when.the.charger.is.on..You.could.cause.  
a.spark.  
•. Always.charge.battery.in.a.well-venti-  
lated.area.

Never.operate.charger.if.it.has.received.  
a.hard.blow,.been.dropped,.or.otherwise.  
damaged. Take it to a qualified profes-  
sional.for.inspection.and.repair.  
Do not.operate.the.charger.if.it.has.a.  
damaged.power.cord.or.plug..Have.the.  
cord.replaced.  
Connect.and.disconnect.DC.clamps.  
only.after.removing.charger.AC.power.  
cord.from.the.wall.outlet..Do.not.permit.  
clamps.to.touch.each.other.  
Be sure.to.position.the.charger.power.  
cord.to.prevent.it.from.being.stepped.on,.  
tripped.over,.or.damaged.  
Never.pull.out.the.plug.by.the.cord.when.

cord.may.cause.damage.to.the.cord.or.  
the.plug.  
PERSONAL SAFETy PRECAUTIONS  
•. Wear complete eye and clothing  
protection.when.working.with.lead-  
acid.batteries.  
working.with.a.lead-acid.battery..A.  
battery.can.produce.a.short.circuit.  
current high enough to weld a ring (or  
the like) to metal, causing a severe  
burn.  
•. Make sure.that.someone.is.within.  
range.of.your.voice.to.come.to.your.  
aid.if.needed.while.you.work.with.or.  
are.near.a.lead-acid.battery.  
•. Take care.not.to.drop.any.metal.tool.  
or.metal.object.onto.the.battery..This.  
may.result.in.a.spark.or.short.circuit.  
across.the.battery.or.another.electri-  
cal.device.that.may.cause.an.explo-  
sion.  
•. have plenty of fresh water and  
soap.nearby.for.use.in.case.battery.  
acid.contacts.your.eyes,.skin,.or.cloth-  
ing..If.this.happens,.wash.immediately.  
with.soap.and.water..Then.get.medical.  
attention.  
•. Always.operate.the.battery.charger.in.  
an.open,.well-ventilated.area.  
•. Avoid touching your eyes.while.  
working.with.a.battery..Wear.safety.  
glasses. Acid particles (corrosion)  
may.get.into.your.eyes..If.this.occurs,.  
flush eyes immediately with running  
cold.water.for.at.least.15.minutes..  
Then.immediately.get.medical.atten-  
tion.  
•. Never.smoke.or.allow.a.spark.or.  
flame in the vicinity of the battery or  
engine..Batteries.generate.explosive.  
gases.  
•. Neutralize.any.acid.spills.thoroughly.  
with.baking.soda.before.attempting.to.  
clean.up.  
•. If necessary.to.remove.battery.from.  
vehicle.to.charge,.always.remove.  
grounded.terminal.from.the.battery.  
first. Make sure all accessories in the  
vehicle.are.off,.so.as.not.to.cause.an.  
arc.  
•. Use.the.charger.for.charging.a.lead-  
acid.battery.only..It.is.not.intended.to.  
supply.power.to.a.low-voltage.electri-  
cal.system.other.than.in.an.automo-  
tive.application..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.or.dam-  
age.to.property.  
•. WARNINg:.Handling.the.cord.on.this.  
product.or.cords.associated.with.ac-  
cessories.sold.with.this.product,.may.  
expose.you.to.lead,.a.chemical.known.  
to.the.State.of.California.to.cause.  
cancer.and.birth.defects.or.other.  
reproductive.harm..Wash hands after  
handling.

•. Clean.the.battery.terminals..Be.careful.to.  
keep.corrosion.from.getting.in.or.around.  
your.eyes.or.on.your.hands.  
•. If.it.is.necessary.to.remove.the.battery.  
from. the. vehicle. to. charge. it,. always.  
remove.the.grounded.terminal.from.the.  
battery first. Turn off all vehicle acces-  
sories.to.avoid.sparks.from.occurring.  
•. Wear. safety. glasses.. See. additional.
