Special safety instructions
Note! The battery charger is solely intended
for charging lead acid batteries. It must
not be used for charging other types of
batteries.
Ensure good ventilation when charging.
Charging at room temperature is
recommended.
The battery charger is intended for indoor
use and must be protected from moisture.
The battery charger must be connected to a
power socket with an earth conductor.
Do not leave the battery charger plugged
in constantly. Unplug it when you have
fi nished using it.
Read the instructions for recharging the
battery from the battery manufacturer
before you begin charging.
Do not charge defective batteries or
batteries not designed for recharging.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Wear goggles and turn your face away
when connecting or disconnecting the
battery.
Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately
with copious quantities of water if you get
acid on your skin or in your eyes. Contact a
doctor if necessary.
Make sure that the cable does not get
trapped or come into contact with hot
surfaces or sharp edges.
During charging, the battery may discharge
explosive gases; it is therefore important to
avoid sparks in the immediate vicinity.
Avoid naked fl ames or smoking when
charging.
The battery charger should not be covered.
The battery charger and battery must
always be placed on a fl at, smooth and solid
surface. The battery must not be standing at
an angle.
The battery charger contains parts
which may cause electric arcs or sparks.
The charger must therefore always be
positioned at a distance from the battery
when charging.
Do not place the battery charger directly on
the battery to be charged or just above it.
The fumes generated when charging the
battery may cause corrosion of the internal
parts of the battery charger, which in the
long term may cause damage.
Never touch the battery charger terminals
when the battery charger is plugged in.
Never start the engine while the battery is
charging.
Check the battery charger before use,
including the power cord and cables. If the
battery charger is damaged, it must not be
used.
Any damaged power cord or defective
cables must be replaced at an authorised
workshop.
The battery charger must be kept out of
reach of unauthorised persons, particularly
children. This also applies during use.
Avoid battery leakage. Leaking battery acid
from the battery that comes into contact
with the battery charger may cause a short
circuit and electric shock.
