DANGER!
• Using an unsuitable battery charger can lead to
malfunction and result in the battery having a limited
service life. There is also a danger of fire and explosion.
• When the charging process is complete, disconnect the
charger from the mains socket first before
disconnecting it from the battery.
• Ensure adequate air circulation as soon as the battery
is charged. In principle, only charge the battery under
supervision.
• Damaged batteries must not be recharged or used any
further.
• Damaged battery chargers (damage to the plug,
housing, cable) must not be used.
Safety information and precautions on how to
transport and ship the battery:
WARNING!
• Lithium-ion cells are used in the battery. Transport and
shipping of the battery are, therefore, subject to all
applicable statutory requirements, which must be
strictly observed. For instance, a defective battery must
never be transported by plane.
• If your battery is defective, take it personally to your
specialist dealer as shipping lithium-ion batteries by
post or other carriers is subject to strict rules and
regulations. Once again, we recommend that you
contact your specialist dealer.
• As transport regulations may change annually, we
strongly recommend that you consult your travel
operator, airline or shipping line before you set out on
your trip in order to learn about the current applicable
regulations. A defective battery must not be taken on a
plane or put in your luggage.
NOTE:
• If your battery is fitted to the pulling device when being
transported, relaxed transport regulations apply in
accordance with UN3171.
• Make sure you keep the packaging container of the
battery in case you need to transport it.
• Discuss transportation with your specialist dealer prior
to shipping.

Safety information and precautions on the charger:
WARNING!
• Before starting the charging process, read and follow all
instructions and precautions enclosed with the charger
and the following precautions and safety information.
• Only use the designated charger to charge the battery.
Your specialist dealer can provide the relevant
information.
• When the charging process is complete, we
recommend disconnecting the charger from the mains
socket first before disconnecting it from the battery.
• Do not expose the charger to moisture of any kind
during charging (water, rain water, snow, etc.).
• Do not carry out the charging process in rooms where
moisture may affect the charger.
• Be aware of condensation. If the charger is brought
from a cold room into a warm room, condensation may
form. In this case, refrain from using the charger until all
condensation has dissipated. Please note that this may
take several hours.
• Never carry the charger by its power cable or the
charger cable.
• Never tug at the power cable to disconnect the charger
from the mains socket.
• Never subject cable and plug to any pressure.
Overstretching or bending the cable, pinching a cable
between a wall and a window frame or placing heavy
objects on a cable or a plug may result in electric shock
or fire.
• Lay the power cable and the attached charging cable
so that nobody can step on it or trip over it and so both
cables are protected against any other harmful effects
or stress.
• Do not operate the charger if the power cable, the
charging cable or the plugs attached to the cables are
damaged. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately by the authorised specialist dealer.
• Do not use or disassemble the charger when it has
received a hard blow or was dropped or damaged in
another way.
• The charger must not be used by children.
• Never attempt to disassemble or modify the charger.
• Do not cover the charger during the charging process
or place any objects on top of the device.
• Never connect the terminals of the charging plug with
any metal objects.
• Ensure that the plug is firmly inserted in the socket.
• Never touch plugs with wet hands.
• Do not use the plug of the charger and/or the mains
plug if they are wet or dirty. Before inserting it, clean the
plug using a dry cloth.
