SAFETY REGULATIONS
Danger when handling the battery charger
This machine has been constructed according to current technolo-
gy and complies with the currently applicable safety regulations.
However, failure to observe the respective safety instructions
during operation of the machine
- may endanger the operator or third parties,
- may adversely affect the machine or other property.
All personnel entrusted with the start-up, operation, maintenance
and repair of the battery charger shall
- be sufficiently instructed,
- be acquainted with the handling of battery chargers and batteries
- strictly observe these operating instructions.
Avoid any malfunctions that might impair safety and, if necessary,
eliminate them without delay.
Intended use
- The charger is only suitable for charging two 12 V batteries with
a liquid electrolyte, as well as with AGM technology.
- To charge batteries filled with gel-like electrolyte particular
settings are required.
- The charge of dry batteries (primary cells) is prohibited.
The battery charger is tested to IP 43 protected, meaning that it is
protected against:
- contact with tools, wires or similar objects greater than Ø > 1mm
- water spray from any direction up to an angle of 60° to the
vertical
To comply with protection category IP 43, use appliance in upright
position only (see Fig. 1).
Any other use shall not be in accordance with its intended use. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such
improper use.
Modifications of the battery charger
- Any modifications, supplements or reconstruction of the ap-
pliance must not be carried out without the approval of the
manufacturer.
- Ensure parts in imperfect conditions are replaced immediately.
Safety precautions during operation
- The battery charger may only be operated if all safety equipment
230 V~ 50 / 60 Hz
is in perfect working condition.
- Before switching on the battery charger make sure that no
2 x 70 W
persons are jeopardized.
2 x 12 V
- Before disconnecting the charging clips make sure that battery
2 x 5 A
charger is disconnected from the power supply .
- Check battery charger at least once a week for externally visible
10 - 100 Ah
damage and deficiencies and make sure safety equipment is in
6
proper working condition.
100 %
Risks caused by mains and charging current
IWUoU
- Always be sure to connect charging clips to correct terminals.
IP 43
- Make sure that the charging cables are fast, undamaged and
insulated. Loose connections or scorched cables must be repla-
3,4 kg
ced without delay.
- Regularly entrust electrical engineering specialist with a PE
check of the mains and appliance leads.
Prior to opening the battery charger make sure it is currentless.
Discharge charge-storing components.
- This appliance may only be connected to plugs with a protective
conductor (connection to ground). In addition, we recommend to
use an overload protection.
- Mind the supply voltage! The data mentioned on the rating plate
of your battery charger has to be in accordance with the speci-
fications of your local electricity supply system.
Risks caused by accumulators
- Accumulator acid is caustic. Avoid any contact with the eyes, the
skin or the clothes. Immediately flush acid splashes with clear
water and, if necessary, consult a doctor.
- The electrolytic gas forming during the charge is highly in-
flammable. Keep ignition sources (naked light, lighted cigarette)
away from the battery. Also refrain from disconnecting the
charging clips during the charge due to the risk of sparking.
- The charge may only be performed in properly ventilated rooms
that are intended for this use.
- Service the battery according to the instructions given by the
manufacturer and protect it from dirt and mechanical damage.
- During the charge the acid level within the battery rises.
- Store charged batteries in cool places. At a temperature of
approx. +2ºC the running-down rate is lowest.
Maintenance
- Regularly clean casing surface using solvent-free agents.
- This appliance is maintenance-free. In case of malfunctions
contact your supplier (purchasing document or invoice needed).

The term of warranty for the battery charger is of 2 years. However,
the manufacturer/supplier shall not warrant for any personal or
material damages caused by:
- any other than the intended use of the battery charger
- improper mounting or operation
- operation of the battery charger with defective protection gear
- non-observance of the operating instructions
- modifications of the battery charger without approval by the
manufacturer
- foreign objects or an act of God.
