Danger!
•
Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring the
battery to a warm area to allow battery to thaw before you begin charging. Never put a
battery on top of the charger or vice versa.
•
Do not touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on.
•
Never use the charger when it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise
been damaged. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
•
Be sure to position the charger´s power cord to prevent it from being stepped on,
tripped over, or damaged.
•
Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord
may cause damage to the cord or the plug.
•
We recommend removing the battery from the car before charging. When charging the
battery while installed in the car please understand that we cannot take any
responsibility for harm to your electronic or car itself.
Precautions When Working with Batteries
•
Avoid getting electrolyte on your skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause burns. If
battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eyes, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and
get medical attention immediately. Eye protection is therefore recommended. Baking
soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte
•
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or Engine.
•
Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the
battery of other electrical part may cause an explosion.
•
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns.
PROTECTION
If there is an overload, reverse polarity or a short circuit, the charger will stop function and
give fault codes and alarm. If this occurs, determine the cause of the fault and reset the
charger
