IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for battery charger model P/N 022-0199.
2) Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3) 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.
4) To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
5) 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 an
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
in Table 1
6) Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug
immediately.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
10) WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A 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 marking on
these products and on engine.
11) PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you
work near a battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
c) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
d) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
e) 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.
f) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a
severe burn.
g) Use charger for charging a Lead-Acid/AGM/Lithium Iron Phosphate
(LiFePO4) battery only. 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.
h) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12) PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove
grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being
charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by
battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell
caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow
manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or
not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make
sure that output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. Do not
use the battery charger unless battery voltage matches the output voltage
rating of the charger.
