General Safety Precautions
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS OF
UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT BEFORE USING
YOUR BATTERY SUPPORT PRODUCT, YOU READ
THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1.1. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the support unit manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
1.2. To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord, pull by the plug rather than by the
cord when disconnecting the support unit.
1.3. Position the AC and DC leads to avoid tripping
over them and to prevent damage by hood, or
moving engine parts. Protect from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
1.4. Do not operate the support unit if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped or
otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an
approved service centre.
1.5. Do not disassemble the battery support unit.
Take it to an approved repair centre when
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
1.6. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet and disconnect DC
output leads before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the
controls will not reduce this risk.
1.7. Connect and disconnect the battery leads only
when the AC supply cord is disconnected.
1.8. Never place articles on or around the battery
support unit or locate the battery support unit
in a way that will restrict the flow of cooling air
through the enclosure.
1.9. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary.
1.10. Have a damaged cord or plug replaced
immediately.
1.11. Do not expose the battery support unit to rain
or snow.
2. Personal Precautions
2.1. The battery support unit is not intended to
supply power to a low voltage electrical system
other than applications using rechargeable,
flooded, gel, or AGM type batteries. Do not use
the battery support unit to supply power to dry-
cell batteries as commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
personal injury and property damage.
3. Grounding and AC Power cord connection
3.1. The battery support unit must be grounded to
reduce risk of electric shock. The battery
support unit is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE
A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
3.2 An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and
electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure:
a. that the pins on plugs of the extension cord are
the same number, size, and shape as those of
the plug on the support unit;
b. that the extension cable is properly wired and in
good electrical condition;
c. that the wire size is large enough for the AC
ampere rating of the support unit as specified in
the following table
