Safety Instructions
cord is used, make sure that it has 2-Pole, 3 wire grounding, European CEE-7/7
“Schuko” configuration with current carrying capacity of at least 10A.
7. Place the unit in an area that will allow air to flow freely around the unit. Do not
block or obstruct vent openings on the sides and at the bottom or install the unit in
an enclosed compartment.
8. Keep the unit away from moisture and water.
9. NEVEr oPErATE TWo or MorE UNITS IN PArALLEL.
10. Precautions when working with batteries.
-
Batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulphuric Acid as electrolyte. Precautions should be
taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
-
Batteries generate Hydrogen and oxygen during charging resulting in evolution of explo-
sive gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations.
-
NEVEr smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
-
Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or
short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
-
remove metal items like rings, bracelets and watches when working with batteries. The
batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal
and thus cause a severe burn.
-
If you need to remove a battery, always remove the Negative Ground Terminal from the
battery first. Make sure that all the accessories are off so that you do not cause a spark.
