Personal Safety Precautions
When charging, a lead acid battery gives off hydrogen gas. The Gel type battery is a lead acid
battery with pressure relief type vents. Although it only gives off a small percentage of the gas
that a wet lead acid battery does, the following precautions should be observed:
1. Charge the battery in a dry, well ventilated area. This is why it is important that you leave
the trunk or door open. You can also remove the battery from the robot.
2. Do not position your face over the battery, at any time while making connections.
3. Do not smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the vicinity of the battery during charging.
4. Always unplug the AC supply cord before connecting or disconnecting the charger leads
from the battery.
5. Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.
6. Do not expose the charger to rain.
7. Replace defective cords and wires immediately.
8. Do not operate this charger with a two bladed adapter plug or extension cord. Doing so
can result in serious personal injury.
9. To reduce the risk of shock, connect only to a properly grounded outlet.
