Personal Safety Precautions
Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when working near a
lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of water and soap nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin, clothes or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working with a battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters the eye(s), flood
eye(s) with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Never smoke or allow a spark or a flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It may spark or short-circuit the
battery or other electrical parts that may cause explosion.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and jewellery when working
near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit high enough to weld a ring or any metal, causing serious
burns.
Use the ProSport for charging lead-acid batteries only. It is not intended to supply low voltage electrical
systems other than in a marine application. Do not use the battery charger to charge dry cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and property.
General Safety Instructions
.
Before connecting your batteries or AC power, read all instructinos and cautionary markings on the
battery charger and batteries.
Use of attachments not recommended or sold by Sterling Power Products may result in a risk of fire, electrical
shock or personal injury.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, direct hit of force, has been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way.
Do not disassemble the charger. Call the factory directly when service or repair is required. Incorrect
assembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, remove AC power from the charger prior to any maintenance or
cleaning.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only lead-acid type rechargable batteries (open lead-acid,
sealed lead-acid, gel cell and AGM). Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury. The
ProSport is factory set for lead-acid batteries.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive
gases during normal battery operation.
To reduce the risk of battey explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer, and of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of a battery. Review all cautionary
markings and labels.
