Car use: Always refer to the user manual of the car before connecting
the charger to the car battery (see step 2) and removing it after finishing
charging (see step 5). The battery terminal not connected to the car
chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to
the chassis far away from fuel lines and from the fuel induction i.e.
carburetor. After finishing charging, unplug the charger from the mains
before removing the charger cables.
Safety
Instructions
In addition to the safety measures mentioned under ‘Installation’ (page
3), the following personal precautions should be taken whenever
charging batteries.
1. For emergency situations ensure in advance that help is available in
time of need.
2. Batteries contain acid that is harmful to the eyes, skin and clothes.
Always wear overalls and safety goggles. Never touch the eyes with
unwashed hands after handling batteries.
3.
Ensure that a working, fresh water tap is available. If acid gets into
the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the area with plenty of
water for several minutes. If visible injury occurs, contact a physician
immediately. In case of eye injuries, always contact a physician.
4. The charging process generates explosive hydrogen gas. Do not
smoke or otherwise bring burning or sparking matter to the vicinity of
the charger when it is in operation.
5. If a short circuit occurs, the battery may explode or the item causing
the short may melt. Keep the work area clear from tools and debris.
Remove jewelry, watches etcetera before working with the battery.
6. The power cord should be unplugged and the battery must be
disconnected from the charger in case the equipment is left unused
for a longer period of time.
7. The charger must be situated away from heat sources like radiators
and heat registers and in such a way that no objects can fall or liquid
can be spilled into the cabinet openings.
8. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
9. This device is not meant to be used by children or people whose
physical, sensory or mental attributes or lack of experience and
knowledge prevent them from using the device safely unless a
person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed
them how to use the device.
