General
remarks
The charger is manufactured in line with the latest state of
the art and according to recognised safety standards. If used
incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause
– injury or death to the user or a third party,
– damage to the charger and other material assets belonging to
the operator,
– inecient operaon of the charger.
All persons involved in commissioning, operang, maintaining
and servicing the charger must
– be suitably qualied,
– have knowledge of and experience in dealing with chargers
and baeries and
– read and follow these operang instrucons carefully.
The operang instrucons must always be at hand wherever the
charger is being used. In addion to the operang instrucons,
aenon must also be paid to any generally applicable and local
regulaons regarding accident prevenon and environmental
protecon.

General
remarks
(connuaon)
All safety and danger noces on the charger
– must be kept in a legible state.
– must not be damaged/marked.
– must not be removed.
– must not be covered, pasted or painted over.
For the locaon of the safety and danger noces on the charger,
refer to „General remarks“ in the charger operang instrucons.
Before switching on the charger, remove any faults that could
compromise safety.
Your personal safety is at stake!
Ulisaon in
accordance
with
"intended
purpose"
The charger is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose.
Ulisaon for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall
be deemed to be "not in accordance with the intended purpose".
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage, inadequate or
incorrect results arising out of such misuse.
Ulisaon in accordance with the "intended purpose" also
comprises
– carefully reading and obeying all operang instrucons and
safety and danger noces.
– performing all spulated inspecon and servicing work.
– following all instrucons from the baery and vehicle
manufacturers.

Environmental
condions
Operaon and/or storage of the charger outside the spulated
area will be deemed as "not in accordance with the intended
purpose". The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage
resulng from such improper use.
For exact informaon on permied environmental condions,
please refer to the "Technical data" in the operang instrucons.
Mains
connecon
High-performance devices can aect the quality of the mains
power due to their current-input.
This may aect a number of types of device in terms of:
– connecon restricons.
– criteria with regard to maximum permissible mains
impedance. *)
– criteria with regard to minimum short-circuit power
requirement. *)
*) At the interface with the public mains network.
See Technical Data
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device
should check whether or not the device is allowed to be connect-
ed, where appropriate through discussion with the power supply
company.
Risks from
mains current
and charging
current
Anyone working with chargers exposes themselves to numerous
risks e.g.:
– risk of death by electrocuon from mains current and
charging current.
– hazardous electromagnec elds, which can risk the lives of
those using cardiac pacemakers.
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potenally
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 baery poles.
– do not short-circuit the charger lead or charging terminals.
All cables and leads must be complete, undamaged, insulated
and adequately dimensioned. Loose connecons, scorched,
damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads must be
immediately repaired by authorised personnel.

Risks from
acid, gases
and vapours
Baeries 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 venlated areas to prevent the
accumulaon of explosive gases. Baery compartments are
not deemed to be hazardous areas provided that a concentra-
on of hydrogen of less than 4 % can be guaranteed by the use
of natural or forced venlaon.
– Maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m between baery and
charger during the charging procedure. Possible sources of
ignion, such as re and naked lights, must be kept away from
the baery.
– The baery connecon (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 venlated.
– To prevent short circuits, do not place any tools or conducve
metals on the baery.
– Baery acid must not get into the eyes, onto the skin or
clothes. Wear protecve goggles and suitable protecve
clothing. Rinse any acid splashes thoroughly with clean water,
seek medical advice if necessary.
General
informaons
regarding the
handling of
baeries
– Protect baeries from dirt and mechanical damage.
– Store charged baeries in a cool place. Self-discharge is kept to
a minimum at approx. + 2 °C (35.6 °F).
– Every week, perform a visual check to ensure that the acid
(electrolyte) level in the baery is at the max. mark.
– If any of the following occurs, do not start the machine (or stop
immediately if already in use) and have the baery checked by
an authorised workshop:
– uneven acid levels and/or high water consumpon in
individual cells caused by a possible fault.
– overheang of the baery (over 55 °C/131 °F).

Protecng
yourself and
others
While the charger is in operaon, 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 protecve equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that no-one or nothing can
come to any harm in your absence.
Safety
measures in
normal mode
– Chargers with PE conductors must only be operated on a mains
supply with a PE conductor and a socket with an earth contact.
If the charger is operated on a mains without a PE conductor
or in a socket without an earth contact, this will be deemed to
be gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be liable for
any damage resulng from such improper use.
– Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of
protecon shown on the rang plate.
– Under no circumstances operate the charger if there is any
evidence of damage.
– Ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered
through the air ducts on the charger.
– Have the mains and charger supply checked regularly by a
qualied electrician to ensure the PE conductors are funcon-
ing properly.
– Any safety devices and components that are not funconing
properly or are in an imperfect condion must be repaired by
an qualied technician before switching on the charger.
– Never bypass or disable protecon devices.
– Aer installaon, a freely accessible mains plug will be
required.

EMC device
classicaons
Devices with emission class A:
– are only designed for use in an industrial seng.
– can cause conducted and emied interference in other areas.
Devices with emission class B:
– sasfy the emissions criteria for residenal and industrial
areas. This also applies to residenal areas in which power is
supplied from the public low-voltage grid.
EMC device classicaon as per the rang plate or technical
specicaons.
EMC
measures
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard
limit values for emissions, it may aect the applicaon area for
which it was designed (e.g. when there is sensive equipment at
the same locaon, or if the site where the device is installed is
close to either radio or television receivers). If this is the case,
then the operator is obliged to take appropriate acon to recfy
the situaon
Data
protecon
The user is responsible for the safekeeping of any changes made
to the factory sengs. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
any deleted personal sengs.
Maintenance
and repair
Under normal operang condions the charger requires only a
minimum of care and maintenance. However, it is vital to observe
some important points to ensure it remains in a usable condion
for many years.
– Before switching on, always check the mains plug and cable,
and charger leads/charging terminals for any signs of damage.
– If the surface of the charger housing is dirty, clean with a so
cloth and solvent-free cleaning agent only.
Maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by
authorised personnel. Use only original replacement and wearing
parts (also applies to standard parts). It is impossible to guarantee
that bought-in parts are designed and manufactured to meet the
demands made on them, or that they sasfy safety requirements.
