WARNINGS!
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
•
necessary.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk
•
of fire and electric shock.
If any extension cord must be used, make sure the
•
pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of the plug on the
charger; and that the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition.
• Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.
• Do not stand the charger on a carpet or other soft
surface. Always place it on a hard flat surface.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to a qualified technician.
• Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by
the manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result in
a risk of electric shock or fire.
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug
•
the charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will
not reduce the risk.
• Never place the charger directly above the battery
being charg ed; gases from the battery will corrode and
damage the charger.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of
battery or charger.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal
•
tool onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the
battery or other electrical parts that may cause an
explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and
dangling objects when working on the battery.
• Never charge a frozen battery. A fully
charged battery will rarely freeze but the
electrolyte of a discharged battery can freeze
at -9° Centigrade. Any battery that is suspected of
being frozen should be thawed completely before
charging.
• Never sit with the charger on your lap when charging
your batteries.
• The charger casing will get hot during its normal
operation.
11.14 Battery warranty
Battery warranties are subject to periods set by the
manufacturers. However, most of these warranties are
subject to a wear and tear clause, and if you genuinely
wear out your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible
to obtain a replacement under warranty.
