Overview and warnings
Carefully read this manual, and both the instructions provided
with the battery and the vehicle in which it will be used before
charging.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
<
Make sure that the power supply socket to which the battery
charger is connected is protected by safety devices (fuses or
automatic circuit breaker).
<
Never use the battery charger with damaged cables or
whenever the charger has been subjected to impact or
damaged.
<
Never dismantle the battery charger: take it to an authorized
service centre.
<
Supply cable must be replaced by qualified people.
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE GAS!
<
Batteries generate explosive gas (hydrogen) during normal
operation and even greater quantities during recharginF
<
Avoid creating flames or sparks.
<
The battery charger itself can generate sparks. Make sure
that the clamps cannot be accidentally released from the
battery’s poles.
<
Make sure that the plug is unplugged from the socket before
connecting or disconnecting the cable clamps.
<
Never let the cable clamps touch each other.
<
Provide adequate ventilation during charging
<
Whenever permitted by the type of battery, remove the caps
and check the level of the electrolyte in the cells, adding
distilled water if necessary. Make sure that the electrolyte
level is 5-10 mm over the battery’s cells.
<
Charge the battery with the electrolyte caps in place. Many
batteries have flame retardant caps. Place a damp cloth over
electrolyte caps that are not flame retardant.
<
Carefully read the recharging instructions provided by the
Manufacturer for maintenance -free batteries.
<
Never open the electrolyte caps in maintenance-free
batteries.
<
Some maintenance-free batteries have level indicators.
Whenever the acid level is indicated as being too low, the
battery must be replaced. Never attempt to recharge such
batteries.
<
Never charge frozen batteries that might explode.
<
Never attempt to charge batteries that cannot be recharged
or other types than those indicated.
<
Always wear safety goggles closed at the sides, acid-proof
safety gloves, and acid-proof clothinF
<
Never position your face close to the battery.
<
Position the battery charger as far as possible from the
battery
<
Never let acid drip onto the battery charger, cables or
clamps.
Additional warnings
<
Never position the battery charger on flammable surfaces.
<
Never place the battery charger and its cables in the water
or on wet surfaces.
<
Position the battery charger with adequate ventilation; never
cover it with other objects or close it inside containers or
closed shelves.
Warnings for batteries in vehicles
<
Maintain a safe distance from all moving parts, such as fans,
transmission belts and pulleys.
<
Maintain a safe distance from all heated surfaces such as
engines and cooling systems to avoid burns.
