SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME, BEFORE USING THE
BATTERY CHARGER, YOU COMPLETELY FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER FOR 12V LEAD-ACID & 12.8V LiFePO
BATTERIES. DO NOT USE FOR NiCd, NiMH, or any other types of Li-Ion OR NON-
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
1. GENERAL BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS.
CAUTION : DO NOT CONNECT TO GROUND. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. Use of an attachment not
recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord/cable, pull by plug rather than cord/
cable when disconnecting charger. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - If the cable is
damaged, it is essential to have it replaced without delay by the manufacturer, an authorised service agent or
a qualified workshop, to avoid danger. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or has been otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified Service Technician. Do not disassemble
charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire. Before attempting any maintenance or cleaning, to reduce risk of electric
shock, unplug the charger from the AC outlet and the battery. Clean only with slightly moist, not wet, cloth.
Do not use solvents.
2. AC EXTENSION CORDS/CABLES.
An extension cord/cable should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used make sure that :
a) pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition, and c) the conductor wire size is
large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as specified in the table below.
AC INPUT RATING IN AMPERES
Equal to or greater than
2A
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
3.
a) Working in the vicinity of a battery is dangerous. Lead-acid batteries generate
explosive gasses during normal battery operation. For this reason it is of utmost
importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the charger.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Review
cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
4. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery. b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts or enters eye, flood eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap & water.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk
of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that
may cause explosion. g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with any battery. A lead-acid or lithium battery can produce a short-circuit current high
enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn. h) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
