General Safety Instructions - Battery Charger (Accessories) - Wacker Neuson AP1840 Series Operator's Manual

Rechargeable batteries may not be shorted out.

Rechargeable batteries may not be stored in a box or draw as this can pose hazards where a mutual

short-out can occur or a short-out can occur due to other conductive materials.
Rechargeable batteries may not be exposed to any mechanical impacts.

If a rechargeable battery is leaking, the fluid must not come into contact with your skin or eyes. If

contact has been made, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek immediate medical
attention.
The polarity identification of plus and minus on the rechargeable battery and the machine must

always be observed. Proper use must be ensured.
Rechargeable batteries that are not intended for use together with the machine may not be used.

Keep rechargeable batteries away from children.

Seek immediate medical attention if rechargeable battery components are accidentally swallowed.

Keep rechargeable batteries clean and dry. Do not allow them to come into contact with water.

If the connections of rechargeable batteries become dirty, clean these with a dry and clean cloth.

Rechargeable batteries must be charged before use. The proper charging process is to be applied in

the process. See the chapter Charging and installing rechargeable batteries.
Do not overcharge the rechargeable batteries. Once the charge cycle is complete, the rechargeable

battery is to be disconnected from the battery charger.
When stored (>1 month), ensure that the charge capacity is between 30-50% if possible.

Rechargeable batteries have their best power output if they are operated at normal room temperature

(about 20°C).
Rechargeable batteries may only be used in such applications that are intended for them.

Keep paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could cause a bridging

of the contacts away from rechargeable batteries. Danger of short circuit and fire!
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the machine if possible if they are not being used.

The rechargeable battery must be removed from the machine before transport.

Remove the rechargeable battery from the machine when stored for a long time.

Dispose of properly.

General safety instructions - Battery charger (accessories)

The following notes must be observed:
Check the cable and plug before using the battery charger. A damaged battery charger, cable and

plug increase the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the battery charger if damage has been found. Do not open the battery charger yourself,

but rather only have it repaired by qualified technically trained personnel who are using original spare
parts.
Only use the battery charger indoors and keep away from rain and moisture. The penetration of water

into the battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
Only charge approved rechargeable batteries from Wacker Neuson.

The battery charger may not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight is to be avoided.

The battery charger may not be exposed to any mechanical impacts.

Rechargeable batteries that are not intended for use together with the machine may not be used.

If the connections are dirty, clean these with a dry and clean cloth.

Once the charge cycle is complete, the rechargeable battery is to be disconnected from the battery

charger.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily flammable surfaces (e.g. paper, textiles) or in flammable

environments. Fire hazard!
Do not operate the battery charger in freezing temperatures and do not place it in direct sunlight.

The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the outlet. The plug may not be changed in any

way. Do not use any adapters, since these are usually designed without a grounded conductor
terminal. In this case, there is an increased risk of electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces (tubes, heaters). If the body is grounded, there is an

increased risk of electric shock.
Keep battery charger away from children.

Always keep the battery charger clean and dry. Dirt accumulation results in the danger of an electric

shock.
