1. Use this charger for charging a 12 V LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended

to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in automotive

applications. Do not use this battery charger for other types of batteries, these

may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufac-

turer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

3. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
