ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR THE BATTERY CHARGER
GENERAL SAFETY FOR BATTERIES
The battery chargers can be used to charge deep cycle lead acid
batteries. it can also be used as an auxiliary in the startup of
engines.
These chargers have an overheating protection and protection
against current peaks. Safe and reliable when used.
The battery charger functions include current load selection. This
control is integrated in the charger front panel and is easy to use.
To protect the safety of people and their property, when using the
battery charger, the following safety rules shall be followed:
1. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
2. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by the battery
manufacturer may cause fire, electric discharge or injuries.
3. When disconnecting the charger, hold and pull the plug, not the
cable. Failure to follow this instruction may damage both the
cable and the plug.
4. Unless strictly necessary, do not use extension cables. Using
the wrong extension cable may cause fire and electric shock.
If using an extension cable is necessary, make sure that:
a) The plug prongs in the extension cable are the same number,
size and shape than the charger plug;
b) The extension cable is wired correctly and in good electric
condition;
c) The cable gauge is big enough for the load ampere arc as
specified in the following table:

(1) It is safe to use only if the extensions have an over current
protection device.
(2) One of the conductors should be grounded. All conductors are
the same gauge including the one that is grounded.

5. Do not operate the charger if the cable or plug are damaged.
Take it to a Truper® Authorized Service Center.
6. Do not use the charger if it received a strong bump, it fell or is
damaged in any way. Take it to a Truper® Authorized Service
Center.
7. Do not disassemble the charger. If you assemble it back it may
cause fire or electric shock. When needing to service or repair
the device, take it to a Truper® Authorized Service Center.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock. disconnect the charger
from the power supply before carrying out maintenance or
cleaning service. Turning OFF the controls DOES NOT reduce
those risks.

A) WORKING NEAR AN ACID LEAD BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASSES
DURING THE BATTERY NORMAL OPERATION. THEREFORE,
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT BEFORE USING THE
CHARGER, YOU READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
b) To reduce the risk of the battery exploiting, follow these
instructions and the manufacturer instructions of any
equipment you will be using near the battery. Check the caution
measures in this product and the motor.
10. Personal precaution:
a) There shall be second person close to the user to help, when
working with an acid lead battery.
b) Have handy plenty of fresh water and soap in case battery acid
make contact with your skin, clothes or eyes.
c) Use full eye protection and protective clothes. Avoid touching
your eyes when working near the battery.
d) In the event acid from the battery make contact with your skin
or clothes, wash immediately with water and soap. If acid gets
into your eyes, wash with plenty of cold water at least 10
minutes and seek medical help immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow sparks or flames near the battery or the
motor.
f) Use extreme care when handling metal tools close the battery.
If dropped it can cause a spark or short circuit in the battery
or any other electric part and cause an explosion.
g) Remove all metal particles like rings, bracelets and watches
when working with an acid lead battery. An acid lead battery
may cause a short circuit with extremely high current capable
or welding a ring or any other metal article causing severe
burns.
h) Use the charger only to recharge LEAD ACID batteries. It is not
designed to supply electricity to low tension systems different
from the motor starting application. Do not use the battery
charger to charge dry batteries used commonly with domestic
appliances. These types of batteries may explode and injure
Higher
people and damage property.
i) NEVER recharge a frozen battery.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger shall be grounded.
The charger is equipped with an electric cable with a grounded
conductor and a grounded plug. The plug shall be connected into
power supply dully installed and grounded complying with the local
codes and ordinances.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GAS
WARNING
WARNING
NEVER modify the cable or the alternate
current plug installed in the equipment. If it cannot be
plugged in the power supply, call a certified electrician
to connect the adequate power supply. A connection that
is not adequate may cause an electric shock.
