9. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
- Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on
charger.
- Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
- Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger.
10. Always charge battery in a well ventilated area. NEVER operate in a closed-in or
restricted area withoutad-equate ventilation.
WARNING: Risk of explosive gas.
11. Locate charger as far away from battery as DC charger cable's permit.
12. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
13. NEVER charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) is frozen, bring into a warm area
to thaw before charging.
NEVER allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading specific gravity or filling battery.
14.
15. NEVER set a battery on top of charger.
16. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged. Gases from battery will corrode
and damage charger.
NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger is energized.
17.
18. NEVER crank engine with charger attached to battery.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY

1. WARNING: Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection, when working with
lead-acid batteries.
2. Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when
you work with or near a lead-acid battery.
3. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
4. Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get
into your eyes! If acid enters your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, neck laces, 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.
6. Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the battery. Metal may cause sparking
or short circuit the battery or another electrical device. Sparking may cause an explosion.
7. Always operate battery charger in an open well ventilated area.
8. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries
generate explosive gases!
