SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING BATTERIES
- WARNING: Risk of explosive gas mixtures.
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery
is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive
gases during normal battery operation.
For this reason, it is of utmost importance
that each time, before using your battery
charger, you read this manual and follow
the instructions exactly.
- Thanks to check that your batteries can
be recharged with this charger. To know
this, refer to the manufacturer's instruction
manual of the battery.
- Make sure that the initial charging rate
does not exceed the battery manufacturer's
requirement.
- Do not put batteries in use during the charge!
Do not start the engine during the charge.
- Non-rechargeable batteries must not be
recharged.
- Never attempt to charge a frozen battery!
- Wear complete eye protection and suitable
clothing to give protection from contact with
battery fluid. Avoid touching the eyes while
working with a battery. Acid, acid particles
or corrosion may get into the eyes.
- Remove personal metal items such as
rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. Be
extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping
a metal object onto the battery. This might
cause sparks or short-circuit the battery
or other electrical parts, and lead to an
explosion or severe burn.
