General informa-
tion regarding the
handling of bat-
teries
- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
- Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a minimum at approx.
+2 °C (35.6 °F).
- Carry out a visual inspection at least once a week or as often as specified by the bat-
tery manufacturer to ensure that the acid (electrolyte) level in the battery is at the max.
mark.
- If any of the following occur, do not start the device (or stop immediately if already in
use) and have the battery checked by an authorised workshop:
- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells caused by a
possible fault.
- overheating of the battery above 55 °C (131 °F).
Protecting your-
self and others
While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working
area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains and
charging current, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.
Safety measures
in normal opera-
tion
Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground
conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the charger is operated on a
mains supply without a ground conductor or in a socket without a ground conductor con-
tact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for
any damage arising from such usage.
Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rating
plate.
Never operate the charger if there is any evidence of damage.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure the
ground conductor is functioning properly.
Any safety devices and parts that are not functioning properly or are in imperfect condition
must be repaired by a qualified technician before switching on the charger.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
After installation, an accessible mains plug is required.
