by appropriately qualified specialists.
Keep children and others away
from the battery charger when
in operation.
3 Children should be kept under supervision to
make sure they do not play with the unit.

Risk of injury!
3 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).
3 Use screwdrivers and wrenches with an
insulated grip when fixing the charger in
position.
Danger of explosion: Guard against
highly explosive electrolytic gas
reactions.
3 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.
3 Always perform charging and trickle charging
in a sheltered, well ventilated area.
3 Avoid naked flames, hot surfaces and sparks
during charging and trickle charging.

Danger of explosion and
fire hazard!
3 Never attempt to charge dry or non-rechargea-
ble batteries with the charger.
3 Make sure there is no risk of explosive or
flammable substances, e. g. gasoline or solvent,
being ignited whilst using the charger.
3 The charging cable must never make contact
with any fuel pipes (e. g. gasoline pipes).
3 Ensure adequate ventilation whilst charging.
3 During the charging process, place the
removed battery on a well ventilated surface.
3 The charger is not to be used for the charging
and trickle charging of damaged or frozen
batteries.
3 Prior to connection to the mains, make sure the
mains current is the specified 230 V ~ 50 Hz and
that the system is provided with a grounded
neutral conductor, a 16 A fuse and an r.c.c.b.
(residual-current-operated circuit breaker).
3 Keep the charger away from naked flames
and sources of heat and do not expose to
temperatures in excess of 50 °C for a lengthy
period.
3 Never cover the charger when the unit is in
operation.
3 Protect the electric contact surfaces of the
battery against short circuits.

3 Never place the charger on or directly next
to the battery.
3 Set up the charger as far away from the
battery as the charging cable allows.
Danger of acid burns!
3 Always wear safety goggles. Always wear
protective gloves. In the event of contact
with electrolyte, rinse the eyes or skin
immediately with copious amounts of clean
running water and consult a doctor without
delay.
Danger of electric shocks!
3 Never disassemble the charger. Incorrect
assembly of the charger can lead to the risk
of fatal electric shocks.
3 Make sure the mains current has been dis-
connected before performing battery charger
installation, maintenance and upkeep work.
3 Only touch the insulated part of the terminals
(–) and (+).
