PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Risk of explosive gases.
2.1
Working in the 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.
2.2
To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the
cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
2.3
This charger employs parts, such as switches and circuit breakers, that
tend to produce arcs and sparks. If used in a garage, locate this charger
18 inches or more above floor level.
2.4
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or
engine.
2.5
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part
that may cause an explosion.
2.6
Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID 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 this 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.
2.7
NEVER charge a frozen battery.

Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and
protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the
battery.
