Do not switch on the charging device immediately after it has been taken from a cold
to a warm environment. The condensation water generated could destroy the
device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching it on.
Do not leave the packaging material lying around. Plastic foils and bags, polystyrene
parts etc. are dangerous toys in the hands of children.
Before opening the device, disconnect it from all voltage sources.
Capacitors inside the device may still be charged, even if the device has been dis-
connected from all voltage sources.
A defect mains line and/or mains plug as well as the integrated fuse may only be
replaced by a specialist who is familiar with the pertinent safety specifications and
regulations.
A fuse may only be replaced if the charging device is not connected to an accumula-
tor and separated from the mains.
Make sure that only fuses of the type and nominal current specified
are used for replacement. Using repaired fuses or bridging the fuse
bracket is not permitted.
You should also heed the safety instructions in each chapter of these instructions.
Initial operation
Since the device generates heat when operating, ensure that it is
adequately ventilated. The housing must not be covered!
Never charge lead accumulators in a closed box!
Ensure a sufficient ventilation during the charging process and avoid
open fire! Explosive gases can be generated during the charging pro-
cess. Keep it out of the reach of children!
Allow the battery housing to cool down for at least 2 minutes so that
combustible gases can escape!
The device has to be separated from the mains before making or
separating connections to the battery.
