Only the user/operator is responsible for
thereby resulting damage.
2. Warning notes
The device may be used for the described
purpose, if these operating instructions are
observed.
Do not operate the device during frost or
danger of frost to avoid the formation of
condensation water. Do not expose the
device to rain or moisture to avoid a fire
hazard and the danger of an electric shock.
Do not allow liquids of any kind to penetrate
into the device. Never cover the ventilation
slots or housing. Do not place the device
near to warm air sources such as heaters or
the like! Never put or lead the charging cable
near to inflammable materials. The charging
cable may neither be kinked nor be led over
sharp-edged parts. Live cables or lines,
which are connected to the device, must
always be tested be-fore and after use for
insulation faults or breakages. Immediately
discontinue using the device, if an error is
determined in the supply cable. The device
may only be used on a stable and non-
combusti-ble surface. Only use the device
outside of the vehicle. Ensure a safe and
stable connection when connecting the
battery charging clamps.
Never use in the case of adverse ambient
conditions. Adverse ambient conditions
are: Ambient temperatures below -25 °C
or above +50 °C, combustible gases, sol-
vents, vapours, dust, air humidity above
80 % as well as wetness.
The device may only be used in dry and
closed rooms.
Switch the device off immediately and sa-
feguard it against unintentional operation,
if it must be assumed that safe operation is
no longer possible.
3. Dangers
Immediately disconnect the device from the
mains and from the battery, if defects are
recognisable, such as e.g.: Smoke emission,
penetration of liquids etc. Have the
malfunction repaired immediately. Danger by
reverse polarity, short-circuit and contact
with battery acid - always observed the
safety instructions of the lead battery
manufacturer. Caution! Battery acid is
extremely corrosive. Immediately treat acid
splashes on skin or clothes with a soap
solution and rinse with lots of water. Acid
splashes in the eye must be immediately
rinsed with lots of water; consult a physician
immediately.
4. Safety
Provide adequate ventilation in the room
during charging.
Do not open the celi plugs on mainte-nance-
free lead batteries (lead-acid bat-teries).
Check the acid level before charging non-
maintenance-free lead batteries. Check the
acid level occasionally when charging non-
maintenance-free lead batteries for a longer
charging period. Check the charging
procedur
ę
regularly for safety reasons.
Always avoid open flames, open lights and
sparks in the proximity of batteries being
charging (Explosion hazard by de-tonating
gas).
Always observe the charging instructions of
the battery manufacturer.
5. Connection and start-up
