Section 6 – Procedures
Charge the Battery
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Do not put the charger in
water. If you do not obey, there is a risk of death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
Burn hazard. Do not touch the surface of the
charger when it is in operation, especially in higher
temperature environments. Let the charger cool
before you touch it. If you do not obey, there is a
risk of death or serious injury.
1. Supply sufficient airflow for the batteries and the
charger.
NOTE
Do not let materials or fabric be on the charger. It is
necessary for the charger to have access to cool air
for it to operate correctly. Clean the charger cooling
fins if they are clogged with debris to make sure the
charger functions at its best.
2. Do a visual and manual inspection of the DC
output wires and terminals. Make sure they are in
good condition before each use.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Be careful when you use fuels,
solvents, or other flammable materials near the
charger or batteries. A spark from the charger or
batteries can cause a fire or explosion. If you do
not obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
3. Connect the power supply cable to a correctly
grounded socket between 100 to 240 VAC,
50/60 Hz. The charger automatically senses and
adjusts to the voltage range of the AC input.
NOTE
The charger starts automatically in 4-6 seconds,
regardless of the remaining battery charge (down
to 1 VDC terminal voltage). The LEDs show that the
charge continues.
NOTE
Many conditions have an effect on the battery charge
time. These include: the battery amp-hour capacity,
the remaining charge, the temperature, and the
condition (new, used, and defective). More time is
necessary to charge batteries that are larger than 240
AH.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect the DC
output wires near the batteries when the charger is
ON. This can cause an arc, which can then cause
the batteries to explode. You must disconnect the
AC power supply cable from its socket, and then
the charger DC connections. If you do not obey,
there is a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Do not touch parts of the
charger output wires that are not insulated, the
battery connector, or the battery terminals. If you
do not obey, there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not charge the batteries in hazardous areas.
