Gases
When the battery is being charged you may notice
bubbling in the fluid caused by the release of gas.
As the gas is flammable no naked lights should be
used around the battery, and the area should be
kept well ventilated.
Because of this risk of explosive gas only connect
and disconnect the battery leads when the mains
supply is disconnected.
Points of note
• When not in use, store the charger in a dry
area to avoid moisture damaging the inter-
nal parts.

Any attempt at modification or repair by the
user may entail the loss of your guarantee.

thes. It is acidic and can cause burns. If this
occurs you should rinse the affected area
with water immediately.

• Never charge a frozen battery. If battery flu-
id (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring battery
into a warm area to allow battery to thaw be-
fore you begin charging. Never let a battery
on top of charger or vice versa.

when the charger is on.
