MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS13.
Before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect battery charger 13.1
(see sections 6.7 and 7.6).
After use, unplug charger and use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion 13.2
and other dirt or oil from terminals, cords, and the charger case.
Servicing does not require opening unit, as there are no user-serviceable 13.3
parts.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS14.
Store charger unplugged, in an upright position. Cord will still conduct 14.1
electricity until it is unplugged from outlet.
Store inside, in a dry, cool place (unless you’re using an on-board Marine 14.2
Charger ).
Do not store clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or 14.3
clipped to the cables.
