34. WARNING: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Only use batteries that are provided by L P INTERNATIONAL INC. for
your PowerMate®. Use only battery chargers provided with your PowerMate®. Dispose of used batteries according
to your local environmental guidelines. Do not puncture or incinerate the battery.
35. Do not perform maintenance on any PowerMate® unit unless authorized to do so. The unit
is capable of high electrical currents and the motor can generate excessive heat. If the motor/electrical compartment is accessed for any reason, the fuse must be
removed prior to entry.
36. WARNING: If the PowerMate® unit or any of its components become unserviceable for any reason, remove the fuse from the unit. Indicate on the unit in a
prominent location, by way of a tag, the unserviceability and words stating “DO NOT USE”.
37. DANGER: Never insert any metallic device, such as a tool, in the PowerMate® unit without first removing the fuse. Inadvertent contact with any electrical contact
may cause the machine to activate resulting in severe injury.
38. Never remove or override any mechanical or electrical safety device. Replace the fuse with a fuse of equal type and rating only. If the fuse continues to blow, seek
service.
39. Do not touch hot components. Allow the equipment to cool down before servicing.
40. Maintain the equipment regularly. Poorly maintained equipment jeopardizes the safety of the operator and all other personnel. Remember that safety is your
responsibility.
Complete the recommended daily inspection procedure. Conduct the “every 25 hours of operation” maintenance procedure. Have the equipment thoroughly checked by
a competent service person at least once a year.

CHARGING THE POWERMATE
IMPORTANT: Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this product, and the device on which it is used, must always be done with complete
knowledge of the product instructions and safety information. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
DANGER: Lead-acid batteries can generate explosive gases. Only charge lead-acid batteries in well-ventilated areas. If charging in a vehicle, make sure sufficient
ventilation is provided.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BURNS, OR FIRE - The battery charger must be used as supplied. Never replace, splice, or repair cables or
connectors supplied with the charger.
DANGER: If fuse installed, replace fuse only with a fuse of the same rating.
CAUTION: RISK OF SHOCK - Do not use charger units if the input or output cord is cut or frayed or damaged in any way. Do not use the charger if case is damaged
in any way. Do not open the charger case for any reason. There are no serviceable parts.
CAUTION: RISK FROM HIGH CURRENTS. RISK OF BURNS - Always be sure that the charger is disconnected from the power source and battery being
charged before handling.
CAUTION: Protect the charger from dampness or wet weather such as rain, snow, etc. Keep charger way from sources of liquid such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs,
shower stalls, solvents, flowing water, etc. Do not allow the charger, or any of its cords and connectors, lie in standing water such as a puddle.
CAUTION: Charge only properly maintained and rechargeable lead-acid batteries of the same voltage rating that is printed on the charger. Other battery types or
voltages, damaged batteries, or improperly maintained batteries may burst, emit dangerous gases, or cause personal injury or damage.
WARNING: The charger units supplied by L P INTERNATIONAL INC. are internally protected against battery polarity reversal and overload. This limits potential
damage to the charger.
However, the charger does not protect against shorting or overload of external wiring or of the battery being charged. Integrity of the PowerMate® unit wiring should
be monitored during routine inspections.
WARNING: Only use the supplied charger(s) on PowerMate® products.
CAUTION: Position the charger and charger cords so that it is not tripped over, pulled, or placed in contact with heated surfaces. Route charger cords so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items being placed upon or against them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the PowerMate® unit while connected to the charger.
ADDITIONAL CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
110V Battery Charger
1. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, battery and product using the battery.
2. CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury, charge only 12 volt lead-acid type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing persona injury or damage.
3. Your AC cord came equipped with three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin). This plug will only fit a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable
to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet.
4. Pay particular attention to convenience of receptacles. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the charger. Cords
rated for less amperage than the charger may overheat.
5. Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size and shape as those on the charger. Ensure the extension cord is wired properly and in good
electrical condition.
6. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
8. Do not disassemble charger. There are no serviceable parts.
9. To reduce risk of electrical shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting maintenance or cleaning.
10. Disconnect the power plug by pulling the plug, not the cord.
11. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
12. Unplug the charger when not in use.
