Risk of injury!
► In the case of batteries permanently fitted
in a vehicle, make sure the vehicle is not in
operation. Switch off the ignition and set the
vehicle to the parked position, with the parking
brake applied (e. g. passenger vehicles) or the
rope made fast (e. g. power boats).
► Use screwdrivers and wrenches with an
insulated grip when fixing the charger in
position.
Danger of explosion: Guard against
highly explosive electrolytic gas
reactions.
► Hydrogen gas (electrolytic gas) may escape
from the battery during charging and trickle
charging. Electrolytic gas is an explosive
mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen. Contact
with naked flames, hot surfaces or sparks
will cause an electrolytic gas reaction.
► Always perform charging and trickle charging
in a sheltered, well ventilated area.
► Avoid naked flames, hot surfaces and sparks
during charging and trickle charging.
