DANGER
The Auto Charge contains solid-state electronic components that
require no maintenance. The best care you can give the charger is
to protect it from contact with liquids, spray, or fumes which may
cause corrosion and by keeping the air intake vent clean and free
from any obstructions.
Disconnect all AC and DC power and clean the outside of
n
the case and wiring with a damp cloth.
Wear protective gloves, if you suspect it has come in
n
contact with battery fluid, salt water, gasoline or oil, or other
corrosive material.
Do not operate if the charger contains moisture of any kind.
n
Periodically, disconnect all AC and DC sources and check
n
all DC and AC wiring connections to be sure they have not
loosened or deteriorated.
Also check all cable clamps to ensure they are tightly
n
fastened.
Loose battery terminals and lugs exposed to open air
n
corrode rapidly. The corrosion appears as a white powder or
granular foam on the terminals and any nearby exposed
metal parts. If it contacts your skin, it will cause burns
unless you rinse it off immediately.
To clean battery terminals, follow the recommendations and
n
procedures of the battery manufacturer.
