Safety notices for chargers
▪
Keep the device away from children. Children do not understand or perceive
possible risks when handling electrical devices. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the charger.
▪
Ensure that the device is always stored in a safe place. Do no expose the device
to rain or wet conditions. Avoid pouring or dripping water or other liquids over
it. If water penetrates electrical devices, the risk of electric shock increases.
▪
Ensure that all plugs and cables are free of moisture. Never connect the device
to the mains with wet or moist hands.
▪
Never touch battery terminals or battery clamps whilst the device is connected to
alternating current.
▪
Remove all device cables from the battery before attempting to drive your
vehicle.
▪
Always disconnect the device from the mains when you are not using it.
▪
Always disconnect the device by pulling out the power plug, never by unclam-
ping a connecting cable.
▪
If the cables need to be run through walls with sharp edges, for example metal
sheets, use tubes or cable ducts to prevent damage to the cables. Lay electrical
cables in such a way that it is not possible to stumble over them, thereby preven-
ting damage.
▪
Never place the device over or close to the battery to be charged. Gases from
the battery make the charger corrode and damage it. Set up the charger as far
away from the battery as the direct current cable allows.
▪
Do not cover the device while charging.
▪
Never pull the cable or use it to carry the device. Damaged cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
▪
Only operate the device if all cables and the casing are intact.
▪
If the supplied cables are damaged they must be replaced by qualified specia-
lists to prevent hazards.
▪
Never operate the device if it has been dropped or damaged in any other way.
For inspection and repair, take it to a qualified electrician.
▪
All maintenance work must be conducted by qualified electricians.

Never disassemble the device. In correct assembly may cause electric shock or
fire.
