Battery Charger/Maintainer
For lead-acid batteries up to
120 Ah
INTRODUCTION
Please read and follow the
instructions carefully.
SAFETY
The charger is designed for
charging 12V lead-acid batteries.
Do not use the charger for any
other purpose.
Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse
immediately with water if acid
comes into contact with skin or
eyes and seek immediate
medical advice.
Ensure that the cabling lies
straight and does not come into
contact with hot surfaces or
sharp edges.
A charging battery could emit
explosive gases, which is why it
is important to prevent sparks
close to the battery. When
batteries are reaching the end of
their life cycle, internal sparks
may occur.
Always provide for proper
ventilation during charging.
Avoid covering the charger.
Ensure that the mains cable is
not exposed to water.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Never charge a damaged
battery.
Never place the charger on top
of the battery when charging.
