Storage
When not in use, store the battery charger in a dry environment. Store the battery charger in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
Gases
When the battery is being charged, you may notice bubbling in the fluid caused by the release of gas. As
the gas is flammable, avoid naked flames, glowing or electrostatically charged material and sparks in the
vicinity of the battery. Always provide adequate ventilation. Because of this risk of explosive gas, only
connect and disconnect the battery leads when the mains supply is disconnected.
Maintenance
The unit is maintenance-free. If necessary, clean the unit with care using a dry cloth. Don’t try to open
the body casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Damage due to improper use, modifications
or attempted repairs lead to the exclusion of liability and the loss of warranty. Do not lengthen or shorten
the cables. The mains supply cord and the charging cables of this device cannot be replaced. If they are
damaged, the appliance must be discarded.
General
• Electrical devices are not toys. Keep the product away from children.
• Only use the product as intended and for purposes described in the manual.
• After opening the package, examine all parts for visible damage. If you have found any damage,
please contact the company you purchased this unit from.
• Always disconnect the power supply (including the connection to the battery) when working on the
device.
• Use only approved accessories (especially all cables) or parts fully consistent with the
requirements. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the correct cable and fuse sizes are used.
• The surface temperature can reach up to 65°C. Power-off and stop using the device immediately, if
the unit is smoking or is showing any abnormal behaviour.
• 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 are supervised or have been
instructed on how to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Installing the device, maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by qualified personnel
who are familiar with the risks involved, the relevant regulations and with the guidelines and safety
precautions to be applied.
• Do not disassemble the device - the internal circuitry contains hazardous voltages. Attempting to
service the unit yourself may result in electric shock or fire and will void the unit warranty.
• Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit the terminals of the battery or the
device securely away. A resulting spark or short-circuit may not only damage the device, but also
cause an explosion and potentially produce a current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working on the
device or the battery.
• Operate the device only, if all cables and the housing are undamaged and all connections are tight
and clean. Loose or dirty connections could result in overheating, electrical sparks and fire.
• Ensure the device is standing firmly. The device must be set up and fastened in such a way that it
cannot tip over or fall down.
Environment
• Only use the product in environments from 0°C ~ 40°C.
• Do not operate the product in damp, wet or dusty environments: Never expose the device to rain or
snow. Doing so may result in damage to the device or other equipment installed in the system or
result in electric shock or fire. Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Do not put batteries, or anything that should be
protected from sparks around the device. Doing so may result in fire or explosion.
• To avoid heat accumulation, do not cover the device. To prevent overheating , ensure that air inlets
and ventilation is not obstructed. Do not expose the device to a heat source (such as direct sunlight
or heating). Avoid additional heating of the device in this way.
