tion of hydrogen of less than 4% can be guaranteed by the use of natural or forced venti-
lation.
Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between the battery and charger during
the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition such as fire and naked flames must
be kept away from the battery.
The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnected for any rea-
son during charging.
Do not inhale any of the gases and vapours released under any circumstances - Make
sure the area is well ventilated.
To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on the battery.
Battery acid must not get into the eyes or onto the skin or clothes. Wear protective gog-
gles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes thoroughly with clean
water and seek medical advice if necessary.

Protecting While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working
yourself and area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,

Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.
Safety measures Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply with a
in normal opera- ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the charger is opera-
tion ted on a mains supply without a ground conductor or in a socket without a ground con-
ductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the
rating plate.
Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.
Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a minimum at
approx. +2 °C (35.6 °F).
Carry out a visual inspection at least once a week or as often as specified by the
battery manufacturer to ensure that the acid (electrolyte) level in the battery is at the
max. mark.
If any of the following occur, do not start the device (or stop immediately if already in
use) and have the battery checked by an authorised workshop:
- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells caused by
a possible fault.
- overheating of the battery above 55 °C (131 °F).
warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger from mains
and charging current, etc.),
provide suitable protective equipment.
