BAtteRy RelAted
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on
the battery.
• Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or the
engine.
• Charge only Lead Acid type of batteries (Flooded / Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) / Gel
Cell). Do not charge other type of batteries like Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel-Metal
Hydride (Ni-MH), Dry-Cell etc. Other types of batteries might burst causing personal
injury.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Working in the vicinity of Lead Acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate ex-
plosive Hydrogen and Oxygen gases during normal operation. Take necessary safety
precautions when installing the charger near a battery or in a battery compartment
(Follow safety instructions given by the battery manufacturer).
• Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged; gases or
fluids from the battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate the charger as far
away from the battery as DC cables permit. Do not install in the same compartment as
batteries.
• Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark
or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
