EYE INJURY HAZARD
BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE AND CAUSE FLYING
DEBRIS.
BATTERY ACID CAN CAUSE EYE IRRITATION.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING
CHARGER.
AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND WASH HANDS
AFTER USING CHARGER.
IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, FLUSH AFFECTED
AREA WITH PLENTY OF WATER.
WARNING
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN 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.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions
and those published by battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment intended to be used in vicinity
of battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and
on engine.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS unless absolutely
necessary. Using an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock and may result in property damage,
personal injury or death. If extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
1.) The pins on the extension cord plug have the same number,
size, and shape as those of the AC power cord plug on the
charger.
2.) The extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical
condition.
3.) The wire size is as specified in Table 1 below:

AWG SIZE OF CORD
Length Of Cord, Feet (f)
*If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than
amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by
dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating - for example:
1250 watts/125 volts = 10
amperes
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, pull by plug rather
than cord when disconnecting charger.
Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord
or plug immediately.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service facility.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified service facility
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY
WITH THE UNITED STATED COAST GUARD ELECTRICAL
REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART I)
