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,

during charging.
Do not open the cell 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 bat-
teries for a longer charging period. Check
the charging procedure regularly for safe-
ty 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.
