General and elec-
trical risks KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY - This guide contains important safety
and operating instructions for these charger types (for model, see first page of this
document)
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow
The use of accessories not sold or recommended by the charger manufacturer can
lead to fire, electric shock or personal injury
To reduce the risk of damage to plugs and cables, always unplug the charger by pull-
ing at the plug rather than the cable
Only use an extension cable if it is absolutely necessary. The use of an incorrect ex-
tension cable can lead to fire and electric shock. If an extension cable must be used,
make sure that
-
the pins of the extension cable plug are of the same number, size and shape as
those of the charger plug
- the extension cable is correctly wired and in good electrical condition
- the cable size is large enough for the AC amperage of the charger, as indicated
above
Do not use the charger with a damaged cable or plug - replace the cable or plug im-
mediately
Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to heavy impact, dropped or otherwise
damaged; hand it over to a qualified service technician
Do not dismantle the charger; hand it over to a qualified service technician if mainte-
nance or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly can result in fire and electric shock
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the socket before car-
rying out any maintenance or cleaning. This risk cannot be reduced by setting controls
to the "Off" position
Warning - Risk of
Explosive Gases It is dangerous to work in close proximity to a lead acid battery. Batteries generate explo-
sive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason it is extremely important to read
this guide before using the charger and to follow the instructions precisely.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, the battery manufac-
turer's instructions and those of the manufacturers of any accessories that you plan to
use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe warning signs on these products and on the
engine.
Personal safety
precautions There must be another person within hearing range of you or close enough to come to your
assistance when you are working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery.
Make sure there is sufficient fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid comes
into contact with the skin, clothing or eyes
Complete eye protection and protective clothing must be worn. Do not touch your eyes
when working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery
