Oxford Oximiser3X Bedienungsanleitung Seite 5

lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h) WARNING: Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a
low or extra low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery
charger for charging dry-cell batteries (NiCad, NiMh or Li-Ion batteries) that are commonly used with
home appliances. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to burst and cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. HOW TO CONNECT THE OXIMISER3X TO A BATTERY
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery
first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) STUDY ALL BATTERY MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS REMOVING OR NOT
REMOVING CELL CAPS WHILE CHARGING AND RECOMMENDED RATES OF CHARGE. If necessary,
add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not
overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully
follow manufacturer's recharging instructions.
c) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
d) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
e) Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner's manual and make sure it matches output rating
of battery charger.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b) NEVER PLACE THE CHARGER DIRECTLY ABOVE OR BELOW THE BATTERY BEING CHARGED; GASES OR
FLUIDS FROM THE BATTERY WILL CORRODE AND DAMAGE THE CHARGER. LOCATE THE CHARGER AS
FAR AWAY FROM THE BATTERY AS DC CABLES PERMIT
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way. A suitable location should
be selected for the Oximiser3X. This should be away from any moisture and with sufficient ventilation to
allow for cooling and battery gas discharge.
Do not cover the Oximiser during use. The wall bracket supplied ensures optimum airflow when placed
in a well-ventilated position.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to "off" position and
removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY
CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position ac and dc cords away from vehicle to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine
part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than
NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to
chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away
from battery. Do not connect clip to carburettor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away
