Service and Maintenance
General Service and Maintenance Safety
WARNING Electrical Hazard
Disconnect the charger from the power source during ser-
vice, to avoid electric shock.
The removal of the plug has to be such that the oper-
►
ator can check from any of the points to which he
has access, that the plug remains removed.
• Do not open the charger. Repairs are only to be per-
formed by authorised service technicians.
Electrical Safety
WARNING This apparatus must be earthed.
• Earthed equipment must be plugged into a socket that
has been properly installed and earthed according to
appropriate regulations. Never remove the earth pin
or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in any
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly earthed. Should
the equipment suffer electronic malfunction or break-
down, the earth provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user. Applicable only to Class I
(earthed) equipment.
• Disconnect from the power supply before servicing.
• Failure to comply with these operating instructions may
impair the safety of this equipment.
• Only use the cord supplied with the charger, to connect to
the mains. Do not modify the cords or use them for other
purposes. Use only genuine replacement parts.
• Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric
shock.
• Must not be used in explosive atmospheres.
• Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not expose the equipment to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering the equipment will increase the risk
of electric shock. This instruction does not apply to
equipment classified as watertight or splash proof.
