WARNING: Never use the charger for charging of non-rechargeable batteries.
During charging, place the removed battery on a well-aired surface.
The automatic operating mode and the restrictions in use are explained further below in these instructions.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Do not operate the appliance if the cables, the AC power cord or AC plug are damaged. A damaged AC power cord is a
life-threatening danger due to electric shock.
Before connecting to the power, ensure that the power connection is grounded, is 100V - 240V 50/60Hz , and is fused and
equipped with an circuit breaker in accordance with the current regulations. Disconnect the charger from AC power before you
make or break connections to the battery.
First, connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive terminal of the battery. Then connect the negative (black) clamp to a grounded
part of the vehicle, away from the battery and fuel lines. Then connect the charger to the AC power.
After charging, disconnect the charger from the AC power. Then remove the negative (black) clamp from the ground point, and then
remove the positive (red) clamp from the battery terminal.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD!
Protect yourself from a highly explosive hydrogen-oxygen reaction. Use in a well ventilated area.
Ensure that during charge and charge retention procedures, there are no flames or sparks.
Ensure that the positive (red) cable does not come into contact with fuel lines or grounded metal.
Ensure the charger and contacts are away from metal or ANY conductive materials.
DANGER OF CHEMICAL BURNS!
Wear protective glasses, wear protective gloves. If eyes or skin has come into contact with battery acid, rinse the affected body
region off with a large amount of clean water and soap.
To avoid causing a short circuit when connecting the charger to the battery, connect the negative (black) connector only to the
negative battery post or to a ground point of the vehicle such as the frame or body. connect the positive (red) connector only to
the positive pole of the battery.
Do not place the charger close to fire, heat or in places with long-term exposure to temperatures over 122° F (50°C).
Ensure that no fuel lines, electrical wires, hydraulic or water pipes are damaged by the screws while mounting the charger.
Do not cover the charger with anything. Always protect the electrical contacts of the battery and charger from short circuiting.
Only use the charger for charging and for float charging retention of 6V/12V lead batteries. Do not charge frozen batteries.
