CAUTION
• Your AQUA MASTER is supplied with a battery that
needs to be treated carefully as it will release potentially
explosive gasses during its normal cycle of use (off
gassing). Please read the entire manual thoroughly and
follow all instructions. Failure to do so can result in an
explosion occurring.
• Always remove the battery from your AQUA MASTER
when it is not in use and store separately in a well
ventilated area where it is out of the reach of children and
away from heat and ignition sources.
• Do not install the battery in your AQUA MASTER until
immediately prior to using it.
• Before disconnecting/connecting any cables, open the
nose cone and allow two minutes for any explosive
gases to dissipate.
• Do not use/store/charge the battery in temperatures
above 40ºC (104ºF) as excessive off gassing may occur.
Keep the battery and AQUA MASTER in the shade when
not in use.
• Always ensure the unit is dried thoroughly before
opening the Nose Cone.
• Only use the charger supplied with the AQUA MASTER.
• The battery supplied with your AQUA MASTER releases
a potentially explosive gas during charging. Charging
should only take place in a well ventilated area, away
from children and naked flames or other ignition sources
(cigarettes, sparks). Never charge the battery whilst still
in the AQUA MASTER.
• Charge the battery as soon as possible after use
within 24 hours.
