automobiles, trucks, tractors, airplanes, 

vans, RVs, trolling motors, etc. This charger 

is not intended to supply power to low-

voltage electrical systems, other than in a 

motor-starting application.
WARNING: Do not use battery charger with 

dry cell batteries that are commonly used with 

home appliances. These batteries may burst 

and cause injury or damage to property.

•  Use only attachments recommended or sold 

by the battery charger’s manufacturer. Use 

of non-recommended attachments may 

result in a fire, electric shock or injury.

•  Locate the battery charger’s power cord so 

it cannot be stepped on, tripped over, or

a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise 

damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified 

professional for inspection and repair.

qualified professional when service or repair 

is required. 

•  To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug 

the charger from the outlet before 

attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

•  Do not use an extension cord. 
•  Always charge the battery in a well-

ventilated area.

•  Do not set the charger on flammable 

materials, such as carpeting, upholstery, 

paper, cardboard, etc.

•  Wear complete eye protection and 

protective clothing when working near 

lead-acid batteries. Always have someone 

nearby for help.

•  Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking 

soda nearby for use, in case battery acid 

contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash 

immediately with soap and water and seek 

medical attention.

•  If it is necessary to remove the battery from 

the vehicle to charge it, always remove the 

grounded terminal first.
