Villager VLP 5420 (GB)
If the casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good policy to have the
charger checked over by a suitably qualified person.
- Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power, do not plug into site
generators, attach to engine generators or D.C. sources.
- Use the correct Villager charger in conjunction with it’s corresponding battery
pack (consult the Villager website for more information or to find your local
stockist).
- Do not charge any other batteries with Villager chargers. Any other application
is considered misuse.
- Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too hot (over 30°C) or too cold
(under 5°C), if these conditions apply set the battery pack aside to “normalise”
before proceeding with the charging operation.
- Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it won’t be knocked, tripped
over, stepped on, etc. and where it is well ventilated. Make sure the ventilation
slots in the charger case are not obstructed, plug the charger into the socket
outlet.
- Inspect the battery pack for damage, if it is undamaged, plug it into the charger,
ensuring the correct orientation. (
Most chargers and batteries have ‘keys’ etc,
to make sure the battery pack is not inserted incorrectly, if you are having to
‘force’ the battery pack into the charger, the chances are you have it th e wrong
way round, check and try again. )
- Switch the charger on and check that the correct indicators illuminate, allow the
battery pack to charge (see the specific instructions for your charger). Once
charging is complete, switch the charger off, remove the battery pack and store,
repeat the procedure if you have more than one battery pack to charge.
Caution: When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery
charger will be hot. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charge.
-
After charging is complete, unplug the charger from the socket outlet by pulling
on the plug. Do not pull on the cable. Store the charger in a dry secure place.
