DANGER ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD CHARGER IS AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE THAT CAN SHOCK AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. DO NOT CUT POWER CORDS. EXPLOSION HAZARD UNMONITORED, INCOMPATIBLE, OR DAMAGED BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE IF USED WITH CHARGER. DO NOT LEAVE CHARGER UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE DAMAGED OR FROZEN BATTERIES. USE CHARGER ONLY WITH BATTERIES OF RECOMMENDED VOLTAGE. OPERATE CHARGER ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS. WARNING FIRE HAZARD CHARGER IS AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE THAT EMITS HEAT AND CAN BURN.
WARNING EYE INJURY HAZARD BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE AND CAUSE FLYING DEBRIS. BATTERY ACID CAN CAUSE EYE IRRITATION. WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING CHARGER. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES AND WASH HANDS AFTER USING CHARGER. IN CASE OF EYE CONTACT, FLUSH AFFECTED AREA WITH PLENTY OF WATER. WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY WITH THE UNITED STATED COAST GUARD ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS (33CFR183, SUB PART I) DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS unless absolutely necessary.
USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN YOU WORK NEAR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES: • Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid if you have an accident. • Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. • Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near a battery. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters DQ H\H LPPHGLDWHO\ ÀR

LOCATING BATTERY CHARGER • Locate the battery charger as far away from the battery as possible.
CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY Before you connect to the battery(s), make sure that the AC power plug is not connected to an electrical outlet. DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER AC POWER PLUG TO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE.

UNDERSTANDING LED LIGHTS Each battery bank contains two (2) LEDs - a CHARGE LED and an ERROR LED. The CHARGE LED indicates the charging process (Red when charging, Green when charged) and the ERROR LED displays a Reverse Polarity or Error Condition. 7R XQGHUVWDQG WKH /(' /LJKW FRQ¿JXUDWLRQ EHWWHU VHH WKH FKDUW below: LED LIGHTS EXPLANATION When Charging RED When the battery is charging, the CHARGE LED will be illuminated RED.

WICKED SMART TIP BATTERY TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS. The battery charger will not begin delivering any current to the battery(s) until the battery charger detects a ‘stable’ battery. A ‘stable’ battery means the eyelet terminal connectors are connected to the battery with the correct polarity (POSITIVE-TOPOSITIVE, NEGATIVE-TO-NEGATIVE) and have a tight, clean connection to the battery being charged.

This battery charger is for 12V batteries only. If you attempting to charge a battery that is other than 12V, it could cause this ERROR condition.
WHEN NO LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE BATTERY CHARGER IS PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET • WEAK AC CONNECTION Check if the AC outlet has power. If the AC outlet has no or limited power, it could cause this condition. Plug a light into the AC outlet to check if the outlet has power. If the light is extremely dim, this could be the result of limited AC power. The battery charger is designed for use at 70-130VAC.
