SAFETY
• The charger is designed for lead-acid batteries from 1,2-120Ah. Do not use the charger for any other purpose.
• Use safety glasses and turn your head away when connecting or disconnecting a battery.
• Battery acid is corosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes into contact with skin or eyes. Seek medi-
cal advice.
• Make sure that the cable is not being pinched or in contact with warm surfaces or sharp edges.
• While charging, a battery can emit explosive gases, so it is important to avoid sparks in the immediate area.
• Always provide for proper ventilation during charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• Make sure that the electrical cable does not come into contact with water.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Do not place the charger on the battery while charging.
• The electrical connection must fulfil the national heavy current requirements.
• Check the cabling in the charger before use. Make sure there are no cracks in the cabling or in the protective
covering. A charger with damaged cables may not be used.
• Always check that the charger has gone over to maintenance charging mode before leaving the charger unat-
tended and connected for long periods. If the charger had not gone over to maintenance charging within 3 days,
this is an indication of a problem. In this case the charger must be disconnected manually.
• All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails during charging is normally taken care of by the chargers
advanced control, but certain uncommon errors in the battery can still arise. Don’t leave the battery charger
unattended for a longer period of time.
• Only mount the charger on a flat surface.
• This equipment may not be used by children or by those who can not read and understand the manual if they
