Owner’s Manual Chairman Entra

Handling

- 28 -

Charging should take place in a well-ventilated area, not in a wardrobe or
closet. Charging should not be carried out in a bathroom or wet area.

Charging the batteries

Take care when using metal objects while working on the battery. A short
circuit could easily cause an explosion. Always use protective gloves and
glasses.

Use only chargers with a maximum 10 A charging current (mean value).
(The effective value of the charging current must not exceed 12 A.)
