SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME, BEFORE
USING THE BATTERY CHARGER, YOU COMPLETELY FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER FOR 12V LEAD-ACID & 12.8V LiFePO
BATTERIES. DO NOT USE FOR NiCd, NiMH, or any other types of Li-Ion OR
NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
1. GENERAL BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS.
CAUTION : DO NOT CONNECT TO GROUND. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. 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. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord/cable, pull by
plug rather than cord/cable when disconnecting charger. Do not operate charger with damaged cord
or plug - If the cable is damaged, it is essential to have it replaced without delay by the manufacturer,
an authorised service agent or a qualified workshop, to avoid danger. Do not operate charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or has been otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a
qualified Service Technician. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning, to reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the
AC outlet and the battery. Clean only with slightly moist, not wet, cloth. Do not use solvents.
2. AC EXTENSION CORDS/CABLES.
An extension cord/cable 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 :
a) pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition, and c) the conductor wire size
is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as specified in the table below.
