IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
* 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.
* To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
* An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of
charger as specified in Table
* Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified serviceman.
* Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
* To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
* The appliance is not to be used by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause
an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill.
For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer's
recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions
