TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
1. Transport
LF5:
These chargers are equipped with a handle on the upper side.
Carry the charger by the handle foreseen or carry the charger with both hands on the bottom side.
LF6:
Determine if the charger is too heavy for you to carry or not.
If you can carry the charger yourself, carry it in an upright position, with both hands on the bottom
side.
If you decide that the charger is too heavy to carry, you can transport it on a cart with wheels. If you
transport it on a cart, make sure that the charger is fastened with a strap.
Don’t tension the strap in such a way that the LED screen and the digital part on the front of
the charger can be damaged.
Transport LF7 and LF9:
The charger should always be wheeled to the work area if possible with a cart or pallet truck.
Make sure the charger is fastened with a strap.
Don’t tension the strap in such a way that the LED screen and the digital part on the front of
the charger can be damaged.
Wheel the charger only across smooth surfaces.
Always transport the charger in an upright position as the centre of gravity must be at the bottom.
Jolting caused by the wheels catching on uneven surfaces can cause physical strain and
personal injury.
2. Storage:
• Do not cover the charger so that it can cool down sufficiently.
• Do not place the charger in a humid area or a place where splashes of any kind of liquid can fall on it.
The relative humidity must be less than 75%
• The charger should be stored in a space between –20 °C and 60 °C. Anything below or above this
temperature will damage the battery charger.
• Keep the charger away from areas where sparks are generated.
• Provide good ventilation to prevent the accumulation of oxyhydrogen.
• Place protection around the charger so that no one can drive into or collide with it.
• Place the charger on an elevated platform of at least 50 cm (19 inch) from the floor. This will prevent
fire caused by dust.
• Place a fire extinguisher close by.
• Install smoke detectors nearby.
• Do not place any objects on the charger.
