SAFETY WARNING AND NOTES:
sparks near batteries. Disconnect AC power supply before making or breaking DC/battery connections.
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Wear protective clothing and eyewear and avoid contact. In case of accidental
contact, wash immediately with soap and water. Check that the battery posts are not loose; if so, have the
battery professionally assessed. If the battery posts are corroded, clean with a copper wire brush; if greasy or
dirty clean with a rag damped in detergent. Use the charger only if the input and output leads and connectors
are in good, undamaged condition.

and from damp and humid conditions both during use and in storage. Damage resulting from corrosion,
oxidation or internal electrical short-circuiting is not covered by warranty. Distance the charger from the
battery during charging to avoid contamination by or exposure to acid or acidic vapours. If using it in the
horizontal orientation, place the charger on a hard, flat surface, but NOT on plastic, textile or leather. Use the
fixing holes provided in the enclosure base to attach the charger to any convenient, sound vertical surface.
EXPOSURE TO LIQUIDS:
spilled or splashed onto the casing from above, or to light rainfall. Prolonged exposure to falling rain is
inadvisable and longer service life will be obtained by minimizing such exposure. Failure of the charger due to
oxidation resulting from the eventual penetration of liquid into the electronic components, connectors or
plugs, is not covered by warranty.
BATTERY CONNECTIONS:
is a set of battery clips for charging the battery off-vehicle, the other connection set comes with metal eyelet
lugs for permanent connection to the battery posts, and re-sealable weatherproof cap on the connector that
connects to the charger output cable. This connection set allows easy and sure connection of the charger to
maintain the battery on-vehicle. The resealable weatherproof cap is designed to protect the connector from dirt
and damp whenever the charger is not attached. Consult a professional service agent for assistance in
attaching the metal eyelets to the battery posts. Secure the connector with weatherproof cap so that it cannot
foul any moving part of the vehicle or the cable can be pinched or damaged by sharp edges. The in-line fuse in
the eyelets connection set protects the battery against such accidental shorting across positive and negative
conductors. Replace any burnt fuse only with a similar new fuse of 15A rating.
