PREPARE TO CHARGE A 12V
LITHIUM AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY
1. Be sure the area around battery is well ventilated while the battery
is being charged.
2. Charge 12V lithium automotive battery only. Any other uses may
result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
3. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
4. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions, and
recommended rates of charge.
CHARGER LOCATION
• Locate the charger as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged;
gases from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
• Never operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation
in any way.
CONNECTING THE CHARGER
CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
• Connect and disconnect output clamps only after removing AC Power
Cord from electric outlet.
• Never allow the clamps to touch each other.
• Attach the clamps to the lithium battery respecting the polarity.
WARNING: Personal Safety
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can
cause injury to persons.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure someone
is close enough to provide immediate assistance in case of accident
or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with
battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of
first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery,
engine or battery charger.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid battery
can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or
similar metal object, to skin causing a severe burn.
• Skin: if battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately
with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness,
pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
• Eyes: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes
immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
• LCD liquid crystal display: If liquid crystal comes in contact with
your skin: Wash area off completely with plenty of water. Remove
contaminated clothing. If liquid crystal gets into your eye: Flush the
affected eye with clean water and then seek medical attention. If liquid
crystal is swallowed: Flush your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large
quantities of water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical attention.
