If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or qualified person in order to avoid a
9
hazard.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.

▲ DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE
THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to
use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
WARNING! Modern vehicles contain extensive electronic systems.
‰
You are required to check with the vehicle Manufacturer, for any specific instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on each
vehicle.
No liability will be accepted for damage / injury, where this product is not used in accordance with all instructions.
1.2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when
9
working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
9
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
9
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
9
which is high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long hair.
9
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

9
Ensure that during charging, the charger is placed in a location where there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the build up of explosive
9
gases from a lead acid battery.
