This manual contains important safety 

and operating instructions.

1.2  Keep out of reach of children.

1.3  Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.

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 the risk of damage to electric 

plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than 

the cord when disconnecting charger.

1.6  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:

• The pins on plug of extension cord are 

the same number, size and shape as 

those of plug on charger.

• The extension cord is properly wired and 

in good electrical condition; and

• The wire size is large enough for AC 

ampere rating of charger, as specified in 

section 8.

1.7  Do not operate charger with damaged 

cord or plug – replace the cord or plug 

immediately.

1.8  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.

1.9  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.

1.10 To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug 

charger from outlet before attempting 

any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off 

controls will not reduce this risk.

a. 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 YOU 

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH 

TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.

b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, 

follow these instructions and those 

published by battery manufacturer 

and manufacturer of any equipment 

you intend to use in vicinity of battery. 

Review cautionary markings on these 

products and on engine.

1.12 Pursuant to California Proposition 65, this 

product contains chemicals known to the 

State of California to cause cancer and 

birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

Wash hands after handling.

2.1  Consider having someone close enough 

by to come to your aid when you work 

near a lead-acid battery.

2.2  Have plenty of fresh water and soap 

nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, 

clothing, or eyes.

2.3  Wear complete eye protection and 

clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes 

while working near battery.

2.4  If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, 

wash immediately with soap and water. 

If acid enters eye, immediately flood 

eye with running cold water for at least 

10 minutes and get medical attention 

immediately.

2.5  NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame 

in vicinity of battery or engine.

2.6  Be extra cautious to reduce risk of 

dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might 

spark or short-circuit battery or other 

electrical part that may cause explosion.

2.7  Remove personal metal items such as 

rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches 

when working with a lead-acid battery. A 

lead-acid battery can produce a short-

circuit current high enough to weld a ring 

or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

2.8  Use the battery charger on LEAD-ACID 

and AGM-type rechargeable batteries 

with recommended rated capacities of 

22-59Ah (12V). It is not intended to supply 

power to a low voltage electrical system 

other than in a starter-motor application. 

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.

2.9  NEVER charge a frozen battery.
