DO NOT attempt to attach a charger to a battery pack if the output of the charger does not match the
battery pack voltage. Example: Model i-3625 is a 36 volt output charger and is only usable on 36
volt battery systems. Charger and battery damage can occur.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might cause a spark or
short-circuit a battery or other electrical part, possibly resulting in an explosion. If damaged, contact
PCS (800.742.2740).
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Ne jamais charger une batterie gelée.
Assure that the area around your charger and batteries is properly ventilated. Connect your extension cord, with no AC
Power present, to the battery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord into a 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Risk of electrical shock! Do not touch uninsulated parts of the battery charger output connector,
battery connector, or battery terminals.
Once you plug in your PCS battery charging system, the charge cycle will begin automatically. State of charge will be
displayed by illumination of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the battery status indicator located on the front of the unit.
DO NOT disconnect the DC output electrical cord from the battery receptacle when the charger is
on. The resulting arcing and burning of the plug and receptacle could cause the batteries to
explode. If the charger must be stopped, first disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet,
then disconnect the charger DC output plug from the battery receptacle.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in. This will reduce sulfation on the lead plates of the batteries and allow
your PCS charging system to keep your batteries fully maintained and ready to perform at their best.
For Model 2440OB, in order to reduce the risk of fire, use only on circuits provided with 20Amperes
Branch Circuit Protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
For Model 4836OB, in order to reduce the risk of fire, use only on circuits provided with 30Amperes
Branch Circuit Protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Prendre connaissance des measures de précaution spécifiés par le fabricant de la batterie, p. ex., vérifier s’il faut enlever les
bouchons des cellules lors du chargement de la batterie, et les taux de chargement recommandés.
Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged; gases or fluids from the
battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate the charger as far away from the battery as DC
cables permit.
Ne jamais placer le chargeur directment sous la batterie à charger ou audessus de cette dernière. Les gaz ou les fluids qui
sèchappent de la batterie peuvent entrainer la corrosion du chargeur ou l’endommager. Placer le chargeur aussi loin de la
batterie qui les cables c.c. le permettent.
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal from
battery first. Make sure all accesproes in the vehicle are off in order to prevent an arc.
S’il est nécessaire de retirer la batterie du véhicule pour la charger, toujours d'ébrancher la borne de mise à la masse en
premier. S'assurer que le courant aux accessories du véhicule est coupe afin d’éviter la formation d’un arc.
Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the BATTERY the battery or engine.
Ne jamais fumer près de la batterie ou du moteur et éviter toute étincelle ou flamme nue à proximité de ces dernie.
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal operation. For this reason it is of the utmost importance that prior to each use of your charger, you
read and follow the instructions provided exactly.
Il est dangereux de travailler a proximité d’une batterie au plomb. Les batteries produisent des gaz explosifs en service
normal. Il est aussi important de toujours relire les instructions avant d’utiliser le chargeur et de les suivre à la lettre.
