BATTERY EXPLOSION HAZARDS

1. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, read, understand,

and follow these instructions, those published by the bat-

tery manufacturer, and those of the manufacturer of any

equipment you intend to use near the battery. Review

cautionary markings on these products and on the

engine. If unable to determine the battery manufacturer's

requirements for charging, always charge the battery with

the cell caps in place. In addition, make certain that any-

one else that uses this equipment, or is a bystander in

the vicinity of a charging battery, understands and follows

these safety instructions as well.

2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of

the battery or engine.

3. NEVER operate the battery charger in a closed-in area

or restrict ventilation in any way.

4. NEVER charge a frozen battery as battery explosion can

result.

5. NEVER connect BOTH battery charger clamps DIRECT-

LY to the two posts of the same battery. See OPERA-

TION INSTRUCTIONS for connection procedures.

6. NEVER charge batteries other than a LEAD-ACID type.

Especially, DO NOT use for charging dry-cell batteries

that are commonly used with toys and home appliances.

These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons or

damage property.

7. NEVER allow the dc output clamps to touch each other.

8. ALWAYS be extra cautious to reduce the risk of drop-

ping a metal object, such as a tool, onto or near the bat-

tery. Doing so could produce a spark or short circuit the

battery or other electrical part that could cause an explo-

sion.

9. ALWAYS make sure the area around a battery is well

ventilated while it is being charged. Gas can be forceful-

ly blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other

non-metallic material as a fan.

10. ALWAYS make sure that the ac power cord is

unplugged from the ac outlet or extension cord BEFORE

connecting or disconnecting the battery charger clamps,

to prevent arcing or burning.

11. ALWAYS locate the battery charger as far away from the

battery as the dc output cables will permit.

12. ALWAYS twist or rock charger clamps back and forth

several times on the battery post and the other point of

connection at the time of initial connection. This helps

keep the clamps from slipping off their points of connec-

tion which helps reduce the risk of sparking. DO NOT

rock the clamp connected to the battery post AFTER the

second connection (at a point away from the battery) is

made or sparking may occur at the battery post.

13. ALWAYS check the cable and wire connections at the

battery(s) for tightness - BEFORE STARTING TO

CHARGE. A loose connection can cause sparks or

excessive heating which could cause a battery explosion.

14. ALWAYS make sure the battery compartment is open

and well ventilated before charging.

FIRE HAZARDS

1. NEVER use an attachment not recommended or sold by

the battery charger manufacturer for use with your specif-

ic model charger.

2. NEVER disassemble the battery charger; take it to quali-

fied service personnel when service or repair is needed.

3. ALWAYS make sure that the ac power cord is

unplugged from the ac outlet or extension cord, BEFORE

connecting or disconnecting the battery charger clamps,

to prevent arcing or burning.

BATTERY ACID HAZARDS

1. ALWAYS have someone within range of your voice and

close enough to quickly come to your aid when working

near a lead-acid battery.

2. ALWAYS have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in

case battery acid contacts eyes, skin, or clothing.

3. ALWAYS wear complete eye and clothing protection and

avoid touching eyes while working with a battery.

4. ALWAYS act QUICKLY if contact with battery acid is

made. If acid contacts skin or clothing, wash IMMEDI-

ATELY with soap and water. If acid enters the eye,

IMMEDIATELY flood the eye with running cold water for

at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention IMMEDIATE-

LY.

MOVING PARTS HAZARDS

1. NEVER connect the battery charger clamps to a vehicle

when the engine is running.

2. ALWAYS stay clear of fan blades, fan belts, pulleys and

other moving engine parts when working near an engine.

Moving engine parts can cause severe personal injury

including dismemberment.

3. ALWAYS make sure that the battery charger cables and

clamps are positioned so they will not come in contact

with any moving engine parts.

BURN HAZARDS

1. NEVER lean on or rest against the engine or cooling

system parts when the vehicle is running.

2. ALWAYS stay clear of the cooling system, engine, and

engine manifold. These engine components get very hot

and retain heat for a long time. Touching any of these

components can cause severe burns.
