IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 6V / 12V
900mA BATTERY CHARGER. KEEP IT WITH OR NEAR CHARGER AT ALL TIMES.
WARNING -
1.
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY
IS DANGEROUS. EXPLOSIVE GASES DEVELOP
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING
YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
1.1 To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these
instructions and
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary
marking on these products and on engine.
1.2 Do not expose charger to rain, snow, or liquids.
1.3 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
1.4 To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from AC
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
1.5 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must
be used, make sure that pins on plug of extension cord
are the same number, size and shape as those of plug
on charger and that the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition and that the wire size is
large enough for A.C. ampere rating of charger as
specified in the following table:
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE FOR
EXTENSION CORDS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
Length of cord (feet): 25
AWG size of cord:
1.6 If charger is equipped with an input power cord, do not
operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the
cord or plug immediately.
1.7 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it
to a qualified serviceman.
1.8 Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service
center when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Someone should be within range of your voice or 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 and clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
2.2 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flush eye with running cold water for at least
10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
2.3 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of
battery or engine.
2.4 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.
2.5 When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal

metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches,
etc. 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.
2.6 Use charger for charging a Lead-Acid Battery 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
battery
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
2.7 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
3. PREPARING TO CHARGE
3.1 If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not
to cause an arc. Be sure area around battery is well
ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or
other non-metallic material as a fan.
3.2 Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming into contact with eyes. Add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by
battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas
from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without caps,
carefully follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
3.3 Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions
such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
3.4 Determine voltage of battery by contacting battery
manufacturer and make sure it matches output rating of
battery charger.
4. CHARGER LOCATION
4.1 Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables
permit.
4.2 Never place charger directly above battery being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
4.3 Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading
gravity or filling battery.
4.4 Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
4.5 Do not set a battery on top of charger.
5. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Connect and disconnect DC output terminals only after
removing charger from AC outlet.
5.2 Never allow DC output terminals to touch each other.
5.3 If problems arise connecting the output leads, solicit the
aid of your Dealer from whom you purchased this
product or the charger manufacturer for finding a
suitable connection device for your application.
6. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS
INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
6.1 Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by
