SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety,
operating and warranty information about
your new charger. Before using the
charger, please read all instructions and cautionary
messages on the battery charger and on the battery.
PROTECT YOUR EYES:
Always wear goggles when doing battery
service. It is very easy to accidentally get
acid in your eyes by wiping your eyes or
face with your hands. In the event of a
battery explosion, the acid usually
splashes up into your face and eyes. Safety goggles
are an intelligent precaution, so please use them.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only automotive
type lead-acid batteries. Please be careful: any
attachment or modification not recommended by
Christie may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injury.
POWER CORD CARE:
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or
plug; replace them immediately. To reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord, please pull by
the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped or tripped on or otherwise subjected to
damage or unnecessary wear.
EXTENSION CORDS:
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary.
An improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
If you find that an extension cord must be used,
please make sure that:
a)
the pins on the plug of the cord are the same
number, size and shape as those on the charger
line cord.
b)
the cord is properly wired and is in good electrical
condition.
c)
the wire size is at least #12 AWG or larger and
no longer than 50 feet.
