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.

17. NEVER place charger directly above battery being charged.
Gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
Warning – Read Rules for Safe Operation and Instructions Carefully
Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before using your charger, you
read this manual and follow the instructions exactly. Failure to do so could result in explosion and severe
personal injury.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufac-
turer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary markings on these products.
