Electrical Cables
• If cables have to be fed through metal holes or other walls with sharp edges, use ducts or cable
bushings to prevent damage.
• Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically conductive material (metal).
• Do not pull on the cables.
• Avoid to lay 230 V mains cable and 6V/12/24V DC cables in the same duct.
• Prevent all cables from being stepped on, tripped over, or being damaged by e.g. sharp edges or hot
surfaces.
Precautions When Charging Batteries
• Batteries can store large amounts of energy and improper handling can be dangerous. NEVER
CONNECT to a battery with an unsuited voltage or other unsuitable or damaged batteries
• Keep children away from batteries and acid.
• Disconnect the supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery.
• Never try to charge a damaged battery.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum recharge rate of your battery.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
• Never use the charger when it has received a hard blow, been dropped, or otherwise been damaged.
Also check all cables prior to use. Take it to a qualified professional for inspection and repair.
• To avoid heat accumulation, do not cover the charger.
• Never charge a frozen battery. If battery fluid (electrolyte) becomes frozen, bring the battery to a
warm area to allow the battery to thaw before you begin charging.
• Place the charger as far away from the battery as is allowed by the length of the charging cables. Do
not place the charger directly on top of the battery or vice versa or on a surface constructed from
combustible material.
• When your vehicle´s battery is fully charged, always remove the charging cables before starting the
vehicle.
• Although it is usually possible without causing problems to charge the battery when installed, we
recommend to remove the battery from the car before charging. When charging the battery while
installed in the car, Pro-User Europe GmbH cannot take any responsibility for harm to your car
electronic or the car itself.
• Avoid getting electrolyte on your skin or clothes. It is acidic and can cause burns. If battery acid
contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with water. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery
electrolyte. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, immediately flood your eyes with running cold water
for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately. Gloves and eye protection is therefore
highly recommended.
• Do not touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on.
• Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit battery terminals securely away
from the batteries. The resulting spark or short-circuit may cause an explosion and can produce a
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal. Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with starter batteries.
• Prevent the power cord and charging cables from being stepped on, tripped over, or being damaged
by e.g. sharp edges or hot surfaces.
• Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger. Pulling on the cord may cause
damage to the cord or the plug. Only use an extension cord if absolutely necessary: If an extension
cord must be used, make sure that it is of sufficient size for the supply of current over the required
distance and in good condition.
• Observe technical instructions of the seller or the manufacturer of your battery
• Read your car´s owner's manual. Some vehicle manufacturers may have special requirements before
charging or discharging the vehicle´s battery (e.g. fuses that have to be removed or certain security
demands).
PACKAGING MATERIALS
To avoid danger of suffocation, do not let children play with foils or other packaging materials. Remove
all protective coverings before putting the device in operation.
