Care / Maintenance / Storage
Your Rescue Battery Charger needs only minimal maintenance to deliver years of de-
®
pendable service. Follow these simple steps to maintain the charger in optimum condition.
• Before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery charger
• After each use, clean the battery charger clamps with an acid neutralizing wipe or similar
cleaner to be sure to remove any battery fluid that will cause corrosion of the metal clamp
and other surfaces
• Clean the outside case of the charger with a soft dry cloth and, if necessary, mild soap
solution. DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BATTERY CHARGER IN WATER
• Keep the charger cords loosely coiled during storage to prevent damage
• Maintenance does not require opening the unit. There are no serviceable parts. Opening
the unit could cause damage and possible injury. Opening the unit will void all warranty
• Do not use the charger if cords or clamps have been damaged in any way
• If the AC power supply cord is cut or damaged, do not use the charger
• Store your battery charger unplugged, in an upright position. The AC input cord will con-
duct electricity until it is unplugged from the electrical outlet
• Store inside in a cool, dry place
• Do not store the battery clamps, clamped together, on or around metal, or clipped to the cables
