This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
Keep out of reach of children.1.1
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Use only 1.2
recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk of
re, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.
To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather than the 1.3
cord when disconnecting the charger.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper 1.4
extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, make sure:
That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape
as those of the plug on the charger.
That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as
specied in section 8.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting 1.5
any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have the cord or plug replaced 1.6
immediately by a qualied service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise 1.7
damaged in any way; take it to a qualied service person. (Call customer service at:

Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualied service person when service or 1.8
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of re or electric shock. (Call
customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
