2. Sa ety instructions and warnings
GENERAL
Battery chargers can cause injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property, if the user
does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions
Safe practices must be learned through study and training before using this equipment
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this battery charger
SHOCK PREVENTION
Bare conductors, or terminals in the output circuit, or ungrounded, electrically-live equipments
can fatally shock a person To protect against shock, have competent electrician verify that the
equipment is adequately grounded and learn what terminals and parts are electrically HOT
The body’s electrical resistance is decreased when wet, permitting dangerous current to flow
through the body Do not work in damp area without being extremely careful Stand on dry
rubber mat or dry wood and use insulating gloves when dampness or sweat cannot be avoided
Keep clothing dry
INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING – Electrical equipment must be installed and mantained in
accordance with all the applicable national and local codes
A power disconnect switch must be located at the equipment Check the data label for voltage
and phase requirements If only 3-phase power is available, connect single-phase equipment to
ONLY TWO WIRES of the 3-phase line
DO NOT CONNECT the equipment grounding conductor to the third live wire of the 3-phase line
as this makes the equipment frame electrically HOT, which can cause a fatal shock
If a grounding conductor is part of the power supply cable, be sure to connect it to a properly
grounded switch box or building ground If not part of the supply cable, use a separate
grounding conductor Don’t remove a ground prong from any plug Use correct mating
receptacles Check ground for electrical continuity before using equipment
The grounding conductor must be of a size equal to or larger than the size recommended by
Code or this manual
CHARGING LEADS – Inspect leads often for damage to the insulation Replace or repair cracked
or worn leads immediately Use leads having sufficient capacity to carry the operating current
without overheating
Never extend the charging leads without prior approval of the manufacturer Extending the
charging leads without prior approval of the manufacturer may cause wrong operation of the
charger and voids the warranty
BATTERY TERMINALS – Do not touch battery terminals while equipment is operating
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE – Shut OFF all power at the disconnect switch or line breaker
BEFORE inspecting, adjusting, or servicing the equipment Lock switch OPEN (or remove line
fuses) so that the power cannot be turned ON accidentally
Disconnect power to equipment if it is to be left unattended or out of service
Disconnect battery from charger
Measure voltage on capacitors and, if there is any voltage reading, wait 5 minutes before to
proceed
Keep inside parts clean and dry Dirt and/or moisture can cause insulation failure This failure
can result in high voltage at the charger output

User's Manual
BURN AND BODILY INJURY PREVENTION
The battery produces very high currents when short circuited, and will burn the skin severely if
in contact with any metal conductor that is carrying this current
Do not permit rings on fingers to come in contact with battery terminals or the cell connectors
on top of the battery
Battery acid is very corrosive Alwais wear correct eye and body protection when near batteries
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION
When batteries are being recharged, they generate hydrogen gas that is explosive in certain
concentrations in air (the flammability or explosive limits are 4 1% to 72% hydrogen in air) The
spark-retarding vents help slow the rate of release of hydrogen, but the escaping hydrogen may
form an explosive atmosphere around the battery if ventilation is poor
The ventilation system should be designed to provide an adequate amount of fresh air for the
number of batteries being charged This is essential to prevent an explosion
Always keep sparks, flames, burning cigarettes, and other sources of ignition away from the
battery recharging area Do not break "live" circuits at the terminals of batteries Do not lay tools
or anything that is metallic on top of any battery
To prevent arcing and burning of the connector contacts, be sure the charger is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting the battery The digital display must be completely OFF
MEDICAL AND FIRST AID TREATMENT
First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift for immediate
treatment of electrical shock victims
EMERGENCY FIRST AID: Call phisician and ambulance immediately and use First Aid techniques
recommended by the American Red Cross
In case of acid in the eyes, flush very well with clean water and obtain professional medical
attention immediately
EQUIPMENT WARNING LABELS
Inspect all precautionary labels on the equipment
Order and replace all labels that cannot be easily read
OWM-040906-RX Version: 02-AB Page 6 of 25
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN BE FATAL
If person is unconscious and electric shock is suspected, do not touch person if he or she is in
contact with charging equipment, battery, charging leads, or other live electrical parts
Disconnect power at wall switch and then use First Aid
Dry wood, wooden broom, and other insulating material can be used to move cables, if
necessary, away from person
IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, give oxygen
IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL BREATHING, such as mouth-to-mouth
IF PULSE IS ABSENT, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL CIRCULATION, such as external heart massage
