The batteries are of the sealed lead acid type. Please read the following information before use.
Warning!
Risk of fire. The batteries are capable of producing very high currents for a considerable time. Never place
the batteries in a position which might allow the terminals to be shorted by a conducting material.
Warning!
Risk of personal injury. The batteries contain lead and a gel which contains sulphuric acid. Never use a
battery with a damaged case.
Caution!
A damaged battery must be treated with care. Handle only with protective clothing. Dispose of in accor-
dance with local laws.
Caution!
The battery vents must not be removed for any reason. The battery is maintenance free and water must not
be added. Removal of the vents or the addition of water to the cells will invalidate the warranty.
Always treat a battery with respect. Not only is it expensive, it is vital to the correct operation and therefore
profitability of the equipment. It should be considered as an energy store and like any concentration of
energy it is only safe when used correctly. A battery should only be used for its intended purpose. It should
never be used as a doorstop or support block etc. Staff should be given training to recognise and deal with
a damaged battery.
There are two batteries supplied with each model, allowing one to be used whilst the other is on charge.
