charger (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
13.2 Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery clips,
cords, and the charger case.
13.3
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition,
for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.

13.5 All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personal.

Do not store the clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to
the cables.
