DANGER:
• If the battery charger power cable is damaged or broken, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer or authorised service personnel, or another qualified person, in order to
protect against hazards.
• The socket for the battery charger cable must have a prescribed earth connection.
•
Keep sparks, flames, and incandescent materials at a safe distance from the batteries.
Explosive gases are emitted during normal use.
• Highly explosive hydrogen gas is generated while charging the batteries. Keep the recovery
tank unit in the maintenance position during the entire battery recharging cycle, and only
perform the procedure in well-ventilated areas at a safe distance from any open flames.
• Before charging, make sure the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the
batteries is not damaged. If it is, don't use it; contact technical assistance.
• Before starting to charge the batteries, check there is no stagnant water or humidity in the
on-board battery charger socket.
• Before charging, make sure the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the mains
is not damaged. If it is, don't use it; contact technical assistance.
• Do not disconnect the DC cable of the battery charger from the machine socket while
the battery charger is operating. This is necessary in order to avoid electric arcs forming.
To disconnect the battery charger when it is charging, first disconnect the AC power cable.
WARNING:
• Do not use an incompatible battery charger as it could damage the batteries and potentially
cause a fire.
•
The batteries emit hydrogen gas. This gas can cause explosions or fires. Keep a safe
distance from flames or sparks. Keep the covers open when charging the batteries.
• Before using the battery charger, make sure the frequency and voltage values indicated on
the machine data plate coincide with the network values.
• Keep the battery charger cable at a safe distance from any hot surfaces.
• Never smoke in the vicinity of the machine while the batteries are charging.
• Before starting the charging operation, carefully read the user manual of the battery charger
that you want to use.
