Charging the batteries
DANGER
Risk of death and injury due to batteries charging!
There is a risk of death and injury, as well as a risk of material damage to the
machine and system due to batteries charging!
Never charge a battery before reading the operating manual for the charging
device used. In addition to the instructions provided by the charging device
manufacturer, the following safety instructions must be observed.
•
Always wear suitable protective glasses and ensure that your face and
hands are also suitably protected.
•
Only charge the batteries in well-ventilated rooms.
•
Keep ventilation caps tightly closed and horizontal.
•
Always use the right charging device for each of the two voltage systems.
•
Ensure that the battery disconnect switch is turned off and has been pulled
out.
•
Set the charging device to OFF before connecting the connection cable to
the battery to avoid any dangerous sparks.
•
Never try to charge a visibly damaged or frozen battery.
•
Connect the connection cable of the charging device to the battery.
Connect the red cable (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery and the
black cable (
–) to the negative terminal (–) of the battery.
•
Ensure that the connection cable is not broken, worn or loose.
•
Turn on the timer, turn on the charging device and slowly increase the
charge rate until the desired current strength (A) is reached. If the battery
becomes hot, violently emits gas or sprays electrolytes, reduce the charge
rate or turn off the charging device temporarily.
•
Always set the charging device to OFF before disconnecting the
connection cable from the battery to avoid any dangerous sparks.
