• Only specialised personnel authorised can carry out operations that require the battery charger to be opened.
• If its safe operation cannot be ensured, stop the battery charger and make sure it cannot be not put back into
operation.
• Before operating the battery charger, the insulation of mains connection cables and of the battery connectors must
be verified.
• Disconnect the mains connection before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
• In order to prevent accidents, only charge Acid Lead, Gel or AGM batteries (ensure that the selected charging curve
is suited to the type of battery). Do not charge any other type of batteries, either rechargeable or nonrechargeable,
since they could explode, causing serious damages and injuries.
• CAUTION!! The battery generates explosive gases during the charge. Therefore, in the vicinity of the battery it is
prohibited to smoke and use naked flames and sparks.
• Do not place the battery charger near the battery to be charged; any gas produced/emitted by the battery during
the charge can corrode or damage the battery charger. Place the battery charger as far away as possible from the
battery as permitted by the battery cables.
• DO NOT place or fasten the battery charger on flammable surfaces (such as shelves and/or wooden walls).
• In order to optimise the battery charger's heat exchange, and, therefore, ensure its reliability, it is important to
place it so as to allow heat exchange with the environment. It must be installed in vertical position (using the 4
fastening holes)
• To prevent electrocution risks, the battery charger must be connected to an earthed socket. Moreover, the socket
must be proportionate to the battery charger's power consumption and must be protected by adequate electrical
equipment (fuse or automatic cut-out) set for a current that is at least 10% higher than the absorbed current stated
on the device's serial plate.
• CAUTION!!Ensure compatibility of the mains plug provided with the battery charger: Do not use adaptors; should
the socket not be earthed, a suitable plug must be installed by qualified personnel before using the device.
• The charging appliance is maintenance-free, except for routine cleaning that must be performed regularly and
periodically according to the type of work environment. Before starting to clean the appliance, disconnect the
power supply cable from the mains and the connection cables to the battery.
• The outer surface of the battery charger may overheat during operation and remain hot even after it's been
switched off.
• The battery charger must not be used as a critical component in life support devices or systems without express
written consent.
• Failure to comply with the installation and use instructions may compromise the protection provided by the device
and make the guarantee void.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
