IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1.1
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION, AND WHEN DISCHARGED OR
CHARGED. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL
AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
1.2
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these safety instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review cautionary
markings on these products and on engine, and on vehicle or equipment
containing the battery.
1.3
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INjURY, CHARGE ONLY
RECHARGEABLE LEAD-ACID-TYPE BATTERIES WHICH MAY
INCLUDE MAINTENANCE-FREE, LOW-MAINTENANCE OR DEEP
CYCLE BATTERIES. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY BURST
CAUSING PERSONAL INjURY AND DAMAGE.
If you are uncertain as to the type of battery you are attempting to charge,
or the correct procedure for checking the battery's state of charge, contact
the seller or battery manufacturer.
1.4
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.
1.5
To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug
rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.6
Position the AC and DC leads to avoid tripping over them and to prevent
damage by the vehicle hood, doors, or moving engine parts; protect the
leads from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
1.7
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service center.
1.8
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service center when
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
