IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This document contains important safety and operating instructions for Models PSC-6300A, PSC-
61000A, PSC-12300A and PSC-12800A battery chargers. Before using the battery charger, please read
all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, the battery, and the product using
the battery.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
Do not expose unit to rain or moisture - use indoors only.
Do not remove cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to qualified service
personnel. Connect the battery charger directly to a grounding receptacle. An adaptor should not
be used with this unit. This unit is equipped with a power cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug (3-prong). The plug must be plugged into an outlet that has been
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local and national codes and ordinances.
Disconnect charger from AC power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls may not reduce this risk.
WARNING
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only sealed or valve regulated,
lead-acid, non-automotive, maintenance free rechargeable batteries. Attempting to charge other
types of batteries may result in personal injury and battery damage.
The heat sink and enclosure will become hot during the charge cycle -
DO NOT TOUCH!
Connect or disconnect the output connectors only when the unit is disconnected from AC power
or arcing and burning may result (due to the possible presence of explosive gases).
DANGER
Never alter power cord or plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, replace the power cord with
the proper type of cord or have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper con-
nection will result in the risk of an electric shock or fire.
Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress. Do not operate this unit with a damaged cord or plug - replace them
immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug, pull by plug rather than cord when dis-
connecting unit.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way. Do not disassemble charger; incorrect reassembly will result in the risk of an electric
shock or fire. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
Recharge batteries in well ventilated areas to prevent build-up of explosive gases. Allow space
around the charger and adequate air circulation to reduce internal heat buildup.
