chassis has to be connected first. The other
connection is to be made to the chassis,
remote from the battery and fuel line. The
battery charger is then to be connected to the
supply mains.
5. After charging, disconnect the battery
charger from the supply mains. Then remove
the chassis connection and then the battery
connection.
6. Do not charge a leaking battery.
7. Do not use chargers for works other than
those for which they are designed.
8. Before charging, ensure your charger is
matching the local AC supply.
9. The charging device must be protected from
moisture.
10. Do not use the charging device in the open.
11. Do not short out the contacts of battery or
charger.
12. Respect the polarity “+/-“ when charging.
13. Do not open the unit and keep out of the reach
of children.
14. Do not charge the batteries of other
manufactures or ill-suited models.
15. Ensure that the connection between the
battery charger and battery is correctly
positioned and is not obstructed by foreign
bodies.
16. Keep battery charger’s slots free of foreign
objects and protect against dirt and humidity.
Store in a dry and frost-free place.
17. When charging batteries, ensure that the
battery charger is in a well-ventilated area
and away from inflammable materials.
Batteries can get hot during charging.
Do not overcharge any batteries. Ensure
that batteries and chargers are not left
unsupervised during charging.
18. Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries,
as they can overheat and break.
19. Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when
the air temperature is between 18
℃
and
24
℃
. Do not charge the battery pack in air
temperatures below 4.5
℃
, or above 40.5
℃
.
This is important as it can prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
20. Charge only battery pack of the same model
provided by manufacturer and of models
recommended by manufacturer.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a)
Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b)
Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store
battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where
they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited
by conductive materials.
When battery pack is not
in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
c)
Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid
storage in direct sunlight.
d)
Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e)
In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid
to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact
has been made, wash the affected area with copious
amounts of water and seek medical advice.
f)
Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery
pack has been swallowed.
g)
Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h)
Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if
they become dirty.
i)
Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always
refer to this instruction and use the correct charging
procedure.
j)
Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in
use.
k)
After extended periods of storage, it may be
necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack
several times to obtain maximum performance.
l)
Battery pack gives its best performance when it is
operated at normal room temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
m)
When disposing of battery packs, keep battery
packs of different electrochemical systems separate
from each other.
n)
Recharge only with the charger specified by
manufacturer. Do not use any charger other
than that specifically provided for use with the
equipment.
A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
o)
Do not use any battery pack which is not designed
for use with the equipment.
p)
Keep battery pack out of the reach of children.
q)
Retain the original product literature for future
reference.
r)
Remove the battery from the equipment when not in
use.
s)
Dispose of properly.
