10. Do not allow the Black and Red battery cables or terminals to touch. Failure to adhere
to these directions could result in severe personal injury. If this happens, sparks will
occur that can melt connection lugs, or other metal objects, and create the potential for
fire.
11. Use only with vehicles and boats with 12 volt electrical systems.
12. Remove the keys from the vehicle.
13. Keep extension cord off the ground and away from water when recharging the unit.
14. Always connect the Line Cord to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected
electrical outlet.
15. Do not attempt to start a vehicle while recharging the unit’s internal battery.
16. Periodically check on the progress of the trickle charge. Do not leave this product
unattended for hours without periodically checking on it’s operation.
GROUNDING
WARNING! Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the appliance. Never
remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the appliance if the power cord or
plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required”
have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If the tool should electrically malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire inside
the cord to the grounding system in the appliance. The green wire in the cord must be
the only wire connected to the appliance’s grounding system and must never be
attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

Note: The charger is designed to work automatically, cycling on and off by sensing the
battery voltage. It is mentioned above to not leave this product unattended for hours; this is
because in some circumstances the Battery Charger can overheat if it is attempting to
recharge a low battery, or one that is damaged or has sulfonated plates. The charger is to
be used on fully charged batteries in good condition. Its only purpose is to maintain the
level of charge at approximately 12 volts.
