Important Safety Information - CTEK Time To Go Manual

CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE RISK OF
A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery terminals. POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS,
P, +) post of battery.
c) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from
battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post of battery.
d) Do not face battery when making the final connection.
e) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse
sequence of connecting procedure and break first con-
nection while as far away from battery as practical.
f) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged
on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment spe-
cially designed for marine use.

tion. A charger with damaged cables must be returned to
the retailer.
• Ensure that the cabling does not jam or comes into contact
with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when
charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails dur-
ing 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 unat-
tended for a longer period of time.
• If power consumers like fitted alarms and navigation com-
puters are connected to the battery, the charging process
takes longer and may drain the battery.
• Always check that the charger has switched to "CARE"
before leaving the charger unattended and connected for
long periods. If the charger has not switched to "CARE"
within 50 hours, this is an indication of an error. Disconnect
the charger.
• Batteries consume water during use and charging. For bat-
teries 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
