WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REA-
SON IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU READ THIS
MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of
the equipment in which the battery is installed.
• Do not use this charger in a compartment in which ignition-protected
equipment is required.
Personal Precautions
• Someone should be within range of your voice and close enough to
come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touch-
ing eyes while working near the battery.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running
cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immedi-
ately.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery or engine.
• Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the
battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
part that may cause an explosion.
• Before working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metal
items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. A lead-acid
battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Use the charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. Do not use
