About the unit itself
– The battery charger is allowed to be used only for the purposes specified by
the manufacturer!
– Explosive gases can develop during the charging process. It is absolutely
necessary therefore to avoid open fire, sparks flying around or open light
during the operation of the battery charger (see B 1)!
– The battery charger should be used only in well ventilated rooms in order to avoid the
accumulation of explosive gases (see B 2)!
– Batteries contain aggressive acids. Therefore avoid all contact with the battery fluid
(see B 3) and protect your eyes (protective glasses) and your clothes against possibly
acid splashes. If you nevertheless come into contact with the fluid, then rinse the
affected parts of the body or clothing etc. with plenty cold water. Consult your doctor
with eye injuries etc.
– Never try to charge a frozen battery. There is the danger of explosion! In this case,
place the battery at a frost-resistant location and wait until the battery has adapted to
the ambient temperature. Only then may the charging process be started (see B 4).
– Never use the battery charger if housing or cables are damaged!
– Take care that there is a firm position! The battery charger as well as the battery to be
charged must be securely positioned so that they cannot fall over or fall down!
– Ensure that the battery charger is kept out of the reach of children! Dangers may arise
which children are not able to recognise!
– Never operate the battery charger in a damp or wet environment!
– Maintenance and repair must only be carried out by a qualified specialist, who is
familiar with the dangers involved and aware of the relevant regulations (see B 5)!
The battery chargers are suitable for sealed starter batteries, lead-acid starter batteries
and maintenance-free batteries with the capacities indicated under "Technical data".
In no case may the battery chargers be used for charging other types of
batteries (e.g. NiCd, NiMH etc.).
