– Allow the machine sufficient time to cool
down before carrying out any mainte-
nance and repair work.
– Ensure that there is adequate ventila-
tion or provision for diverting the ex-
haust gas while operating the appliance
in closed rooms (risk of poisoning).
– Exhaust gases are poisonous and haz-
ardous to health, do not inhale them.
– Always follow the instructions of the
battery manufacturer and the charger
manufacturer. Please follow the statuto-
ry requirements for handling and dis-
posing batteries.
– Never leave the batteries in a dis-
charged state; recharge them as soon
as possible.
– Always keep the batteries clean and dry
to avoid creep currents. Protect the bat-
teries and avoid contact with impurities
such as metal dust.
– Used batteries are to be disposed ac-
cording to the EC guideline 91/ 157
EWG or the corresponding national reg-
ulations in an environment-friendly
manner.
Risk of explosion!
– Charge the battery only with an appro-
priate charger.
– Rooms where batteries are charged
must have good ventilation because
highly explosive gas is emitted during
charging.
– Do not work with open flames, generate
sparks or smoke in the vicinity of a bat-
tery or a battery charging room. Danger
of explosion.
– Do not place tools or similar items on
the battery. Risk of short-circuit and ex-
plosion.
Risk of injury!
– Be careful while handling battery acid.
Follow the respective safety instruc-
tions!
– In appliances without screwed wheel
rims: Please check and confirm that all
the screws of the rim are tightened be-
fore correcting the tire filling pressure.
– Check the pressure reducer on the
compressor for the correct setting be-
fore correcting the tire pressure.
– Do not exceed maximum tyre pressure.
The permissible tyre pressure must be
read on the tyre or on the rim. If there
are different values, use the lower one.
