DANGEr! Avoid danger to life and limbs
caused by improper use!
cAUTioN! Do not operate the appliance
with a damaged cable, power cord or
plug. A damaged power cord causes danger
to life by electric shock.
For indoor use only!
I f damaged, have the power cord repaired by
authorised and trained technicians only! Please
contact the service department for your country!
P roTEcT yoUrSELF From AN ELEc-
Tric ShocK! When connecting the charging
station, use a screwdriver and a spanner with
an insulated handle!
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! Do not
operate the vehicle if you are charging a battery
while it is still in the vehicle! Switch off the igni-
tion and park the vehicle. Apply the parking
brake (e.g. in cars) or secure with a mooring
rope (e.g. electric boat)!
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! Disconnect
the battery charger from the mains before you
make or break the connections to the battery.
- First connect the clamp that is not connected to
vehicle bodywork, then connect the other clamp
to the vehicle bodywork at a point away from
the battery and the fuel line. After this is done,
you can connect the battery charger to the mains.
- After charging, disconnect the battery charg-
er from the mains. Then disconnect the clamp
attached to the vehicle bodywork before you
disconnect the clamp from the battery.
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! Handle
the connecting cables („–" and „+") by their
insulated areas only!
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! Ensure that
there is complete protection from moisture at the
connections to the battery and at the mains
outlet socket!
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! Carry out
the mounting, maintenance and cleaning of the
battery charger only when it is disconnected
from mains!
D ANGEr oF ELEcTric ShocK! After
completion of the charging and maintenance
charging process on a battery mounted in a
vehicle, first disconnect the negative connection
cable (black) of the battery charger from the
negative terminal of the battery.
D o not leave small children unattended
with the battery charger! Children are too
young to assess the possible dangers associated
with electrical devices. Children should be super-
vised in order to ensure that they do not play
with the device.
C hildren or persons who lack the knowledge or
experience to use the device or whose physical,
sensory or intellectual capacities are limited
must never be allowed to use the device without
supervision or instruction by a person responsi-
ble for their safety.
E xPLoSioN hAZArD! Protect yourself
from a highly explosive oxyhydrogen
gas reaction! Gaseous hydrogen can leak
from the battery during the charging and discharg-
ing process. Oxyhydrogen gas is an explosive
mixture of gaseous hydrogen and oxygen. The
result is the so-called oxyhydrogen reaction
upon contact with open fire (flames, embers or
sparks)! Carry out the charging or discharging
procedure in a wellventilated room protected
from the weather. Make sure that there are no
sources of open fire (flames, embers or sparks)
in the vicinity when charging or discharging
batteries!
r iSK oF ExPLoSioN or FirE! Ensure that
the use of the battery charger cannot ignite any
explosive or combustible substances, e.g. petrol
or solvents!
ExPLoSiVE GASES! AVoiD
FLAmES AND SPArKS! Ensure that there is
adequate ventilation during the charging process.
