unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of re and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The pins on plug of extension cord are
the same number, size and shape as
those of plug on charger.

charger from outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls will not reduce this risk.
1.11 WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE
GASES.
a. 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.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion,
follow these instructions and those
published by battery manufacturer
and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in vicinity of battery.
Review cautionary markings on these
products and on the engine.
2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Consider having someone close enough
by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately ood
eye with running cold water for at least
10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame
in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of
dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might
spark or short-circuit battery or other
electrical part that may cause explosion.
2.7 Remove personal metal items such as
rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A
lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring
or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use the charger for charging only 6V and
12V LEAD-ACID (Standard, GEL and
AGM) rechargeable batteries. It is not
intended to supply power to a low voltage
electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use 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.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
