PowerSafe OPzV
Installation, operating
and maintenance instructions
No smoking no naked
flames, no sparks
Electrical hazard
Electrolyte is corrosive,
in case of broken
containers/lids
Handling
OPzV batteries are supplied in a fully charged
state and must be unpacked carefully to avoid
short-circuit between terminals of opposite
polarity. The cells are heavy and must be lifted
with appropriate equipment.
Warranty
Any of the following actions will invalidate the warrranty - Non-adherence to the Installation, Operating and Maintenance instructions.
Repairs carried out with non-approved spare parts. Application of additives to the electrolyte. Unauthorised interference with the battery.
