• This unit was designed for household use only.
• Use of accessories and attachments: The use of any accessory
or attachment not recommended by manufacturer for use with this
battery charger could be hazardous.
• Do not operate the battery charger near flammable liquids or
in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors may spark, and the
sparks might ignite fumes.
• Do not operate the battery charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or has been otherwise damaged in any way. Return
it to the manufacturer for repair.
• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY
BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.
WARNING – Burst hazard:
• Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly
used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for charging/
boosting a 6V or 12V LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended
to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a
starter-motor application.
• Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, never immerse the
battery charger in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.
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
reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the
battery charger you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• 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 the engine.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce
arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or enclosed area, the
unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire: Do not expose to extreme
heat or flames.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
• NEVER ATTEMPT CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Do not charge the battery while the engine is operating.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged
if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the
vehicle’s owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance
is suitable.
• Be extra cautious to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part, and
that may cause an explosion.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this apparatus.
• Do not operate this apparatus in a closed area or restrict ventilation
in any way.
• Always turn the battery charger off by unplugging it when not in use.
• Do not open the battery charger — there are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Opening the battery charger will void manufacturer’s warranty.
• Operate battery charger only as described in this Instruction Manual.
• Check battery charger and components periodically for wear and
tear. Return to manufacturer for replacement of worn or defective
parts immediately.
WARNING: Personal Safety
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can
cause injury to persons.
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

WARNING: Specific Safety Instructions for
Power Cords
• Don’t abuse the cord. Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus. Never carry the apparatus
by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than cord when
unplugging the unit.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
Extension Cords
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk
of fire and electric shock, and will void warranty.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

POWER CORD SAFETY
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
