SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME,
BEFORE USING THE BATTERY CHARGER, YOU COMPLETELY FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
AUTOMATIC BATTERY CHARGER FOR 12.8V LiFePO
NOT USE FOR NiCd, NiMH, LEAD-ACID or any other types of Li-Ion OR
NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
1. GENERAL BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS.
CAUTION : DO NOT CONNECT TO GROUND. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. Use of an
attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and
cord/cable, pull by plug rather than cord/cable when disconnecting charger. Do not operate
charger with damaged cord or plug - If the cable is damaged, it is essential to have it replaced
without delay by the manufacturer, an authorised service agent or a qualified workshop, to
avoid danger. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or has
been otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified Service Technician. Do not
disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning, to reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the AC
outlet and the battery. Clean only with slightly moist, not wet, cloth. Do not use solvents.
2. AC EXTENSION CORDS/CABLES.
An extension cord/cable should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used
make sure that : a) pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as
those of plug on charger, b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition, and c) the conductor wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the
charger as specified in the table below.
AC INPUT RATING IN AMPERES
Equal to or greater than
2A
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
