INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Working in the 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

that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those of plug on charger.
• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical con-
dition.
• Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger,
as specified below:
Length of cord (feet):
AWG* size of cord:
*AWG-American Wire Gauge
11. Always charge battery in a well ventilated area.
NEVER operate in a closed-in or restricted area without ad-
equate ventilation because of a risk of explosive gases.
