• Store chargers outside the reach of children.
• Charger may not be exposed to rain or condensing humidity. Exposure to rain or condensing
humidity can cause battery charger to malfunction and increase risk of shock hazards.
• Safe handling of the charger is only guaranteed if the safety and operating information are
carefully read and adhered to.
• Do not use any chargers in an explosive environment such as in the vicinity of ammable liquids
gases or dust.
2. USE AND CARE

longterm reliability.
• The Charger is for charging RAMFAN 40V, 6AH Li-Ion battery packs, part# R2-360-AH-U only.
• Battery packs should not be used in the vicinity of metallic objects such as paper clips, coins,
nails, screws or other small metallic objects that could bridge and short out battery connection
terminals.
• Improper use of battery packs can lead to uid leaking from the battery; avoid any physical
contact with the uid. If you accidentally come into contact with this, wash the area concerned
thoroughly with water. Seek medical assistance if the uid gets into the eyes.

Route and attach AC power cable plug to appropriate AC power receptacle, or route and
attach DC power cable to an appropriate 12V DC or 24V DC power block.
Three models to support various input power application: 85-260V with NEMA plug,
85-260V with Schuko plug, and 12-24DC.
AC Models: Insert AC plug into the appropriate AC power receptacle. The AC input battery
charger models are built around a universal (85 - 260AC, 50 / 60Hz) input power supply.
Only the AC plug determines the input voltage to be 115VAC or 230VAC.
DC Models: Will work with 10-30VDC input.
Charger is not equipped with a power switch and there is no reason to cycle power ON &
OFF.
Charger automatically turns ON when input power is applied to the charger. Both Battery
status LEDS will ash at a rate of two ashes per second for 10 seconds and then turn OFF
until battery pack(s) have been connected to charger.
•Determine appropriate through hole drill bit for select screws
•Drill four holes at indicated mounting locations, on the drill template and tap holes if
required
•Install screws with screw head about 1/8"above mounting surfaces
•Hang charger onto the four screws
•Tighten screws to securely hold charger in place
Batteries should not be stored for longer than 12 months without charging, to maintain
“longterm reliability.”
