DANGER:
Risk of High Voltages – Lethal voltages are present within the charger
enclosure whenever the AC mains supply is energized and/or the
battery or load is connected. The bus bars and other internal
components present the risk of electric shock
WARNING:
Risk of Explosive Gases – Working near lead-acid batteries is
dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during charging and
discharging. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, ensure adequate
ventilation and follow these instructions as well as those published
by the battery manufacturer.
WARNING:
Risk of Improper Grounding – The charger must be connected to an
AC mains supply incorporating an earth/ground. The grounding
conductor must be of a size equal or larger than the line (phase)
conductors.
WARNING:
Protect Eyes and Skin – Wear safety goggles and skin protection
when installing or servicing the battery charging system or working
near lead-acid batteries.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, only charge rechargeable lead-acid
batteries. Charging or trying to charge other types of batteries may
cause damage or result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Risk of Fire - To reduce the risk of fire, install battery charger on a
floor of non-combustible material, such as stone, brick, concrete, or
metal. Do not install on or over combustible surfaces.
CAUTION:
Risk of Fire – Use only on circuits provided with appropriate branch
circuit protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70.
DANGER:
Risk of Electric Shock from Stored Energy – Wait at least five
minutes after de-energizing the AC power supply and disconnecting
the battery or load before opening the charger enclosure or touching
any of the de-energized AC supply parts.
