SAFETY
General Safety Guidelines
Read all safety guidelines and instructions. Noncompliance with safety guidelines and instructions can cause electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety guidelines and instructions for future reference.
WARNING!
Life-threatening danger to infants and children.
Never leave children unsupervised with the packing material as this can cause suffocation.
Do not allow children to play with cables to avoid suffocation.
Do not allow children to play with the components or fasteners, as they could swallow them.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by:
• Improper connection and/or operation.
• Exterior force, damage to the device and/or damage to parts of the device caused by mechanical impact or overload.
• Any type of modification to the device.
• Use of the device for purposes that are not described in this instruction manual.
• Consequential damages caused by non-intended, improper use and/or defective batteries.
• Moisture and/or insufficient ventilation. The unauthorized opening of the device.
This will void the guarantee.
Risk of chemical burns
• Batteries contain acid, which can cause damage to the eyes and skin.
Charging batteries further generates hazardous gasses and vapors.
• Avoid any contact with caustic battery acid. Rinse skin immediately and thoroughly and any objects which have come into contact
with acid. If eyes have come into contact with battery acid, rinse eyes with running water for at least 5 minutes.
Contact your physician.
• Use safety goggles and acid-proof safety gloves. Protect clothing (e.g. with an apron).
• Never tip the battery as acid may leak. Always ensure adequate ventilation.
• Do not inhale emerging gasses and vapors.
Explosion and fire hazard
• Gaseous hydrogen (detonating gas) may form when charging the battery.
Contact with open fire (flame, embers, sparks) may result in explosions.
• Never charge the battery close to an open fire or in places where sparks may occur.
• Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Be sure the supply voltage matches the input voltage specified on the device (100-120 V AC) to prevent damage to the device.
• Only connect and disconnect the battery connecting cables when the charger is disconnected from the mains.
• Do not cover the device whilst charging, as it may be damaged from extreme heating.
Stop using the device immediately if you notice smoke or an unusual odour.
• Do not use the device in rooms where explosive or flammable substances are stored (e.g. petrol or solvents).
Risk of electrical shock
• Chargers may interfere with the operation of active electronic implants, such as pacemakers,
and pose a personal hazard.
• Avoid pouring or dripping water or other liquids over it. If water penetrates electrical devices, the risk of electric shock increases.
• Ensure that all plugs and cables are free from moisture. Never connect the device to the mains with wet or moist hands.
• Never touch both connections at once when the device is in use.
• Unplug from mains before connecting or disconnecting the charging cable from the battery,
or when the device is no longer being used.
• Remove all device cables from the battery before attempting to drive your vehicle.
• Always unplug the device by the plug. The cable may be damaged.
• Do not use the device if damaged.
Damage to the power cable, the device or the charging cable increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device.
Immediately have a defective device or damaged power cable repaired or replaced by an expert.
• Risk of short circuits. Do not allow the two connectors from the charging cable to touch if the power plug is plugged
into the power outlet. Be sure not to connect the connectors or the battery poles to conductive objects (e.g. tools).
• Never use the cable to carry or pull the device.
