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.
Utilisation in accordance with the "intended purpose" also comprises
-
carefully reading and obeying all operating instructions and safety and
danger notices
-
carrying out all the specified inspection and servicing work
-
following all instructions from the battery and vehicle manufacturers
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 held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
For exact information on permitted environmental conditions, please refer to
the "Technical data" in the operating instructions.
Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to
their current input.
This may affect a number of types of device in terms of:
-
connection restrictions
-
criteria with regard to maximum permissible mains impedance
-
criteria with regard to minimum short-circuit power requirement

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.
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 endanger the lives of those
using cardiac pacemakers
An electric shock can be fatal. Every electric shock is potentially life threaten-
ing. 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 secure, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Loose connections, scorched, damaged or inadequately dimen-
sioned cables and leads must be immediately repaired by authorised person-
nel.
