SAFETY
• The charger is designed for charging 12V lead-acid batteries. Do not use the charger
for any other purpose.
• Check the charger cables prior to use. Ensure that no cracks have occurred in the
cables or in the bend protection. A charger with damaged cables must not be used.
A damage cable must be replaced by a CTEK representative.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when charging.
• Always provide for proper ventilation during charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• A battery being charged could emit explosive gasses. Prevent sparks close to the
battery. When batteries are reaching the end of their lifecycle internal sparks may occur.
• All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails during charging is normally
taken care of by the chargers advanced control, but some rare errors in the battery
could still exist. Don't leave any battery during charging unattended for a longer period
of time.
• Ensure that the cabling does not jam or comes into contact with hot surfaces or sharp
edges.
• Battery acid is corrosive. Rinse immediately with water if acid comes into contact
with skin or eyes, seek immediate medical advice.
• Always check that the charger has switched to STEP 7 before leaving the charger
unattended and connected for long periods. If the charger has not switched to STEP 7
within 50 hours, this is an indication of an error. Manually disconnect the charger.
• Batteries consume water during use and charging. For batteries where water can
be added, the water level should be checked regularly. If the water level is low add
distilled water.
• This appliance is not designed for use by young children or people who cannot read
or understand the manual unless they are under the supervision of a responsible person
to ensure that they can use the battery charger safely. Store and use the battery charger
out of the reach of children, and ensure that children cannot play with the charger.
• Connection to the mains supply must be in accordance with the national regulations
for electrical installations.
