DO NOT attempt to attach a charger to a battery pack if the output of the charger does not match the battery
pack voltage. Example: Model i-3625 is a 36 volt output charger and is only usable on 36 volt battery systems.
Charger and battery damage can occur.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might cause a spark or short-
circuit a battery or other electrical part, possibly resulting in an explosion. If damaged, contact PCS
(
615.471.5300
).
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
Ne jamais charger une batterie gelée.
Assure that the area around your charger and batteries is properly ventilated. Connect your extension cord, with no AC Power
present, to the battery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord into a 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupt) outlet.
Risk of electrical shock! Do not touch uninsulated parts of the battery charger output connector,
battery connector, or battery terminals.
Once you plug in your PCS battery charging system, the charge cycle will begin automatically. State of charge will be displayed by
illumination of the Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the battery status indicator located on the front of the unit.
DO NOT disconnect the DC output electrical cord from the battery receptacle when the charger is on.
The resulting arcing and burning of the plug and receptacle could cause the batteries to explode. If the
charger must be stopped, first disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet, then disconnect
the charger DC output plug from the battery receptacle.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in. This will reduce sulfation on the lead plates of the batteries and allow your
PCS charging system to keep your batteries fully maintained and ready to perform at their best.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only on 115 VAC circuits protected by
15 Amperes Branch Circuit
Protection for i1250OB, 230 VAC circuits provided with 10 Amperes Branch Circuit Protection for
i1250OB230, 230 VAC circuits protected by 15 Amperes Branch Circuit Protection for i1275OB, 230 VAC Circuits protected
by 30 Amperes Branch Circuit Protection for i4850OB, or 230 VAC Circuits protected by 40 Amperes Branch Circuit
Protection for i4875OB in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
Prendre connaissance des measures de précaution spécifiés par le fabricant de la batter
ie, p. ex., vérifier s’il faut enlever les bouchons
des cellules lors du chargement de la batterie, et les taux de chargement recommandés.
Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged; gases or fluids
from
the battery will corrode and damage the charger. Locate the charger as far away from the
battery as
DC cables permit.
Ne jamais placer le chargeur directment sous la batterie à charger ou audessus de cette dernière. Les gaz ou les fluids qui sèchappent
de la batterie peuvent entrainer la corrosion du chargeur ou l’endommager. Placer le chargeur aussi loin de la batterie qui les cables
c.c. le permettent.
If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accesproes in the vehicle are off in order to prevent an arc.
S’il est
nécessaire de retirer la batterie du véhicule pour la charger, toujours d'ébrancher la borne
de mise à la masse en premier. S'assurer que le courant aux accessories du véhicule est coupe afin d’éviter la formation d’un arc.
Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.
Ne jamais fumer près de
la batterie ou du moteur et éviter toute étincelle ou flamme nue à proximité de ces dernie.
