Note
: If battery pack failure is suspected, we
recommend that the operator inserts a new
battery of known quality into the charger to
check that the charger is working correctly.
If the new battery charges correctly, then
the original battery is probably defective and
should be sent for safe recycling. If the new
battery pack displays the same problems as
the original, have the charger tested at an
authorized service centre.
Warning:
When a battery becomes discharged due
to prolonged use or exposure to direct
sunlight or heat, always allow the battery
pack to cool down before recharging. This
will allow the battery to be recharged to its
full capacity.
CHARGING TIMES
Normal charging time is approximately
1 hour but this can vary depending upon
circumstances.
a) If the battery pack is only partially
discharged it may take less than an hour to
recharge.
b) If the battery pack and ambient
temperature are very cold then recharging
could take up 1.5 hours.
c) If the battery pack is very hot it may not
recharge. Allow it to cool right down before
beginning the charging process.
MAINTENANCE
There are no user serviceable parts in this
charger.
Keep the charger clean and free from oil
and dirt etc. Clean with a dry cloth, and do
not use chemical cleaners which may affect
the plastic parts of the charger.
Regularly inspect the power cord and plug
or damage.
Ensure that the ventilation slots do not
become blocked.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your Local Authority or retailer for recycling
