IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information is provided as guidelines to
help you operate your new battery charger under the safest
possible conditions. Any equipment that uses electrical
power can be potentially dangerous to use when safety or
safe handling instructions are not known or not followed.
The following safety information is provided to give the user
the information necessary for safe use and operation.
A procedure step preceded by WARNING is an indication
that the next step contains a procedure that might be injuri-
ous to a person if proper safety precautions are not heeded.
A procedure preceded by a CAUTION is an indication that
the next step contains a procedure that might damage the
equipment being used.
A NOTE may be used before or after a procedure step to
highlight or explain something in that step.
SHOCK HAZARDS
1. This battery charger is intended for indoor use only. Do
not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. NEVER attempt to charge a marine (boat) battery while
the boat is on or near the water. A boat must be on a
trailer and located indoors before attempting to charge its
battery(s). The boat manufacturer's battery charging
instructions must be followed exactly.
3. NEVER set the charger, output cable or clamps, or ac
power cord plug in water or on wet surfaces.
4. NEVER use this charger on a pier or dock. Charger
could fall in water, creating an electric shock hazard.
5. NEVER attempt to plug in or operate the battery charger
with defective or damaged wires, power cord, or power
cord plug. Have any of these parts that are defective or
damaged replaced by qualified personnel IMMEDIATELY.
6. NEVER attempt to plug in the charger or operate its
controls with wet hands or while standing in water.
7. NEVER alter the ac power cord or power cord plug pro-
vided with the battery charger.
8. NEVER use an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer for use with this specific
model battery charger
9. NEVER operate this battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or similarly damaged, until
after being inspected and/or repaired by qualified service
personnel.
10. NEVER disassemble this battery charger. Take the bat-
tery charger to qualified service personnel when service
or repair is needed.

SAFETY SUMMARY
11. ALWAYS plug in and unplug the ac power cord by
grasping the power cord plug, NOT THE POWER CORD,
to reduce risk of damaging power cord.
12. ALWAYS remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, 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 any jewelry to
metal causing a severe burn.
13. ALWAYS unplug the battery charger from the ac outlet
before attempting any cleaning or maintenance. Turning
the charger's control(s) OFF, alone, will not remove all
electricity from the charger.
14. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could
result in a fire or electric shock. If an extension cord
must be used, make sure that:
a. the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the
same number, size, and shape as those of the plug
on the charger,
b. the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition, and
c. the wire size is large enough for the length of cord as
specified in the following chart.
Length in feet:
cord AWG size:
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is danger-
ous. Batteries generate explosive gasses during normal
operations and, at an even higher level, during charging.
If anything is allowed to ignite these gasses, the battery
may explode, sending pieces of the battery and extreme-
ly caustic battery acid out in all directions and with
extreme force. Since just the slightest spark is sufficient
to ignite these gasses, it is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE
that you read this manual and follow the instructions
exactly, before using your battery charger each time.
2. NEVER operate this battery charger near any fuel tanks
or gas cylinders. This charger can produce sparks that
could ignite gasses and cause an explosion.
3. NEVER attempt to permanently mount this battery
charger on a marine or recreational vehicle.
4. NEVER attempt to connect this charger's output cables
directly to the battery(s) in the bilge or engine compart-
ment of a boat. Follow the boat manufacturer's battery
charging instructions exactly.
