corresponding technical specifications. Do not use it for
any other purposes. Always follow the recommendations
of the battery manufacturer.
• Never attempt to charge batteries that are not rechar-
geable.
• Before use, check the charger cables. Make sure that
the cables are not cracked and that their isolation and
protection against excess flexion is not cracked. Charger
with damaged cable must be returned to the seller. A
damaged power cord must be replaced only by the seller.

• Do not cover the charger.
• The battery can release explosive gases while being
charged. Prevent sparks close to the battery. When
batteries are reaching the end of their life, there may
be internal sparking.
• All batteries lose capacity sooner or later. Thanks to its
advanced control system the charger usually detects
that the battery is failing and adapts its care to this

rinse with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.

for long periods, always check that it has switched to
trickle charge. If the charger does not switch to STEP
7–40 hours, this is an indication of a problem. Manually
disconnect the charger.

For batteries, where water can be added regularly check
the electrolyte level. If the level is low add distilled water.
