Owner's Manual
Read Rules for Safe Operation and Instructions Carefully
Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before using your charger, you
read this manual and follow the instructions exactly.
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will 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.
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 batter-
ies only, such as used in autos, trucks, tractors, airplanes,
vans, RV's trolling motors, etc. Charger is not intended to sup-
ply 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, elec-
tric 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 quali-
fied professional for inspection and repair.
8. Do not disassemble charger. Take it to a qualified professional
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in electric shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
