Personal Safety
8. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a battery charger.
Do not use a battery charger while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating a battery charger may result in serious personal injury.
9. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times during installation. Proper foot-
ing and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.
11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved splash resistant
safety eye goggles and heavy work gloves when working on or around lead-acid batteries. Wear long
sleeve shirt, long pants and work shoes. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
12. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
Battery Charger Use and Care
13. Use bolts and included clamps to secure and support the battery charger to a stable platform.
This battery charger is designed to be installed on the compartment wall, battery holder or other struc-
ture near the vehicle battery.
14. Do not force the battery charger. Use the correct battery charger for your application. The cor-
rect battery charger will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
15. Do not use the battery charger if the automatic control does not turn it on or off. If you observe the
LED lights not reacting roughly as expected according to the chart on page 8, disconnect and remove
the Battery Charger from the vehicle.
16. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug (not included) from the power source and from the charger
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, storing the battery charger, or driving
the vehicle. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidents.
17. Keep battery charger maintained and clean. Properly maintained battery chargers are less likely
to fail and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged battery charger. Tag damaged battery chargers
“Do not use” until repaired.
18. Check for misalignment or binding of support brackets, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the battery charger operation. If damaged, have the battery charger serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained battery chargers.
19. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
