9. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

a) 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 YOU FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
b) To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these
products and on engine.
10. External connections to the charger shall comply with the United States Coast Guard Electrical Regulation (33CFR183, SUB
PART 1).

11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eye
with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other
electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A
lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in
a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
