1. Important Safety Instructions
To get the most out of your battery charger, it must be installed and used properly. Please read the instructions in this manual before installing and using your battery charger.
1.1 General Safety Precautions
- Do not expose the GP Battery Charger to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the GP Battery Charger in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
- As a general rule, do not charge a sealed battery with this charger.
- Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
- To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition. Do not operate the GP Battery Charger with damaged or substandard wiring.
- The charger should be kept in a well-ventilated area during operation.
- The battery charger must only be plugged-in to a grounded outlet.
- Replace power cord if it is damaged.
- It can take many hours for a battery to be fully charged after it has gone into float mode. If possible, leave the battery in float charge for several hours after a Bulk Absorption charge. This will ensure a full battery. Although it is fine to leave a battery in float charge indefinitely, leaving a power supply unattended for long periods of time is may have risks therefore safety is at the owner’s discretion.
1.2 Precautions When Working with Batteries
- 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 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
- Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
- Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an explosion.
- Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like, to metal, causing a severe burn.
