A.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery charger MODELS: 82-6-PE and 1010-2-PE
A BATTERY CHARGER RECEIVES AC POWER FROM THE ELECTRIC OUTLET, AND
DELIVERS DC CURRENT TO THE BATTERY.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
(1 ) battery charger, (2) battery and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid type rechargeable batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. 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.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
8. 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:
(a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger;
(b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
(c) That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
AC INPUT RATING, AMPERES AWG SIZE OF CORD
Equal to or but less than Length of Cord, Feet
Greater than 25 50 100 150
0 2 18 18 18 16
2 3 18 18 18 14
6 8 18 16 12 10
9. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace them immediately.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any main-
tenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
