Safety rules

Explanation of
safety symbols

If you see any of the symbols depicted in the "Safety rules" chapter, special care is re­quired.

General

DANGER! Indicates immediate and real danger. If it is not avoided, death or se-

rious injury will result.

WARNING! Indicates a potentially dangerous situation. Death or serious injury
may result if appropriate precautions are not taken.

CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur. If it is not
avoided, minor injury and/or damage to property may result.

NOTE! Indicates a risk of flawed results and possible damage to the equipment.

IMPORTANT! Indicates tips for correct operation and other particularly useful information.

It does not indicate a potentially damaging or dangerous situation.

The device is manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and according
to recognised safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can
cause:

- injury or death to the operator or a third party,

- damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operat­ing company,

- inefficient operation of the device.

All persons involved in commissioning, operating, maintaining and servicing
the device must:

- be suitably qualified,

- read and follow these operating instructions carefully.

The operating instructions must always be at hand wherever the device is be­ing used. In addition to the operating instructions, attention must also be paid
to any generally applicable and local regulations regarding accident preven­tion and environmental protection.

All safety and danger notices on the device

- must be in a legible state,

- must not be damaged,

- must not be removed,

- must not be covered, pasted or painted over.

For the location of the safety and danger notices on the device, refer to the
section headed "General information" in the operating instructions for the de­vice.
Before switching on the device, rectify any faults that could compromise safe­ty.

This is for your personal safety!

Proper use

Environmental
conditions

Mains connection

Dangers from
mains current
and charging cur­rent

The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. Any use above
and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer is not liable
for any damage, or unexpected or incorrect results arising out of such misuse.

Proper use includes:

- carefully reading and obeying all operating instructions and safety and
danger notices

- performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work

- following all instructions from the battery and vehicle manufacturers

Proper handling of the device is essential for it to function correctly. The device
must never be pulled around by the cable.

Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed
as "not in accordance with the intended purpose". The manufacturer shall not
be liable for any damage resulting from such improper use.

For exact information on permitted environmental conditions, please refer to
the "Technical data" in the leaflet.

Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to
their current input.

This may affect a number of device types in terms of:

- connection restrictions

- criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance

*)

- criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement

*)

*)

at the interface with the public grid

see "Technical data"
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check

whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the
matter with the power supply company.

NOTE! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly

Anyone working with chargers exposes themselves to numerous dangers e.g.:

- risk of electrocution from mains current and charging current

- hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can risk the lives of those using
cardiac pacemakers

An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threaten­ing. To avoid electric shocks while using the charger:

- do not touch any live parts inside or on the outside of the charger.

- under no circumstances touch the battery poles

- do not short-circuit the charger lead or charging terminals

All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimen­sioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised person­nel.

Dangers from ac­id, gases and va­pours

General informa­tion regarding the
handling of bat­teries

Protecting your­self and others

Batteries contain acid which is harmful to the eyes and skin. During charging,
gases and vapours are released that can harm health and are highly explosive
in certain circumstances.

- Only use the chargers in well ventilated areas to prevent the accumulation
of explosive gases. Battery areas are not deemed to be hazardous areas
provided that a concentration of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guar­anteed by the use of natural or forced ventilation.

- Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m (19.69 in.) between battery and
charger during the charging procedure. Possible sources of ignition, such
as fire and naked lights, must be kept away from the battery

- The battery connection (e.g. charging terminals) must not be disconnect­ed for any reason during charging

- On no account inhale any of the gases and vapours released

- Make sure the area is well ventilated.

- To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conductive metals on
the battery

- Battery acid must not get into the eyes, onto the skin or clothes. Wear pro­tective goggles and suitable protective clothing. Rinse any acid splashes
thoroughly with clean water, and seek medical advice if necessary.

- Protect batteries from dirt and mechanical damage.

- Store charged batteries in a cool place. Self discharge is kept to a mini­mum at approx. +2 °C (35.6 °F).

- Every week, perform a visual inspection to ensure that the acid (electro­lyte) level in the battery is at the Max. mark.

- If any of the following occurs, do not start the device (or stop immediately
if already in use) and have the battery checked by an authorised work­shop:

- uneven acid levels and/or high water consumption in individual cells

caused by a possible fault.

- heating of the battery over 55 °C (131 °F).

While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of
the working area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,

- warn them about all the dangers (hazardous acids and gases, danger
from mains and charging current, etc.),

- provide suitable protective equipment.

Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to
any harm in your absence.
