Proper usage of EMPIRE battery chargers
and Wiring
- An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire
and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, use ONLY
a grounded, 3-wire type cord. NEVER use a 2-wire cord and an
adaptor! The cord MUST be plugged into a grounded outlet.
- Do not modify charger circuitry.
- To reduce risk of damage to plug and cord when disconnecting
charger, ALWAYS pull on plug - NEVER on cord.
- Locate cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subject to damage or stress. Do not lay extension
cord on battery or charger. Do not operate charger with damaged
cord or plug - replace them immediately.
- Determine battery voltage by referring to vehicle or equipment
owner's manual and make sure it matches DC output voltage shown
on charger nameplate.
- This battery charger is designed specifically for charging
automotive lead-acid batteries. Do not use with dry-cells that
are commonly used with home appliances, flashlights, etc. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
- This charger is not intended to supply low-voltage power
for applications other than battery charging.
- Charging a battery on board a boat floating in water requires
a battery charger specially designed to marine charging standards.
Move the battery to dry land for charging with this charger.
