• The charger does not draw current from the battery when the main power is not connected.
• Do not install the charger in a highly flammable environment.
• Do not charge a damaged battery.
• During charging, battery gas which is very explosive can be developed. Take care not to have sparks, open flames, cigarettes or
similar in the vicinity of the battery.
• The acid in the battery is corrosive and harmful. It damages clothes, metal and varnish. In case of spillage and contact with skin,
