The Fountainhead Group 183435 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 4

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE, BURNS, OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Use Charger only in a dry, dust-free
location free from any flammable or combustible liquids or vapors. Use only with Fountainhead
Group Batteries – Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. Do not
short circuit the Charger or Battery terminals. Do not charge damaged Batteries. Do not expose to
liquid, vapor, or rain.
Slow Charger Instructions (for Sprayers so equipped):
1. The Slow Charger can be used to charge either the 2.1Ah or 4.2Ah Battery (18V), but will only charge
at the slow rate. To reduce charging time of a 4.2Ah Battery, it is recommended to use a Fast Charger to
charge a 4.2Ah Battery.
2. In a covered, dry, dust-free location, insert the Charger Plug into a 120VAC wall outlet. The light on the
Charger Body should turn red and stay on, indicating it is connected to power.
3. If not already done, remove the Battery from the Sprayer by following instructions in Removing the
Battery.
4. Fully slide the Charger Body onto the Battery. The light on the Charger Body should flash red twice to
indicate the Battery is connected. The light will then change to flashing green to indicate it is correctly
charging.
a. If the red light remains steady and the green light does not start flashing, the Charger is un-
able to recognize the Battery and begin charging because the Battery has been damaged. If
this happens the Battery must be replaced.
b. If the light on the Charger Body continues to flash red only, the Battery is too hot to be
safely charged. This can happen when the Battery is used heavily in very hot weather or if
the Battery is stored in a very hot location (such as in an enclosed vehicle or storage unit
during very hot weather.) If this happens the Battery must be allowed to cool before it can
be charged.
c. If the light on the Charger Body flashes red and green alternately, this means the Battery
has been damaged and cannot be charged within the safe charging time limit. The Battery
must be replaced.
5. Ensure the Battery and Charger are placed where they will not be exposed to liquids, falls, or other
sources of damage for the duration of the charging period.
6. When charging is complete the light will remain green and stay on constantly. Charging time will vary
depending on Battery condition at the start of charging. Charging time for a 2.1Ah Battery should not
exceed 3.5 hours. Charging time for a 4.2Ah Battery should not exceed 8 hours.
a. If the light on the Charger Body flashes red and green alternately, this means the Battery
has been damaged and cannot be charged within the safe charging time limit. The Battery
must be replaced.
7. Remove the Battery from the Charger after it is fully charged. Batteries should not be stored on the
Charger. To ensure optimal Battery life the Battery should be charged at least once every 3 months
when not in use.
8. Unplug the Charger from the outlet when not in use.
