 Rechargeable batteries must be charged before use. The proper charging process is to be applied in
the process. See the chapter Charging and installing rechargeable batteries.
 Once the charge cycle is complete, the rechargeable battery is to be disconnected from the battery
charger.
 When stored (>1 month), ensure that the charge capacity is between 30-50% if possible.
 Rechargeable batteries have their best power output if they are operated at normal room temperature
(about 20°C).
 Rechargeable batteries may only be used in such applications that are intended for them.
 Keep paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that could cause a bridging
of the contacts away from rechargeable batteries. Danger of short circuit and fire!
 Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the machine if possible if they are not being used.
 We recommend removing the rechargeable battery from the machine before transport.
 Remove the rechargeable battery from the machine when stored for a long time.
 Dispose of properly.
4.13 General safety instructions - Battery charger (accessories)
The following notes must be observed:
 Check the cable and plug before using the battery charger. A damaged battery charger, cable and
plug increase the risk of an electric shock.
 Do not use the battery charger if damage has been found. Do not open the battery charger yourself,
but rather only have it repaired by qualified technically trained personnel who are using original spare
parts.
 Only use the battery charger indoors and keep away from rain and moisture. The penetration of water
into the battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
 Only charge approved rechargeable batteries from Wacker Neuson.
 The battery charger may not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight is to be avoided.
 The battery charger may not be exposed to any mechanical impacts.
 Rechargeable batteries that are not intended for use together with the machine may not be used.
 If the connections are dirty, clean these with a dry and clean cloth.
 Once the charge cycle is complete, the rechargeable battery is to be disconnected from the battery
charger.
 Do not operate the battery charger on easily flammable surfaces (e.g. paper, textiles) or in flammable
environments. Fire hazard!
 Do not operate the battery charger in freezing temperatures and do not place it in direct sunlight.
 The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the plug receptacle. The plug may not be
changed in any way. Do not use any adapters, since these are usually designed without a grounded
conductor terminal. In this case, there is an increased risk of electric shock.
 Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces (tubes, heaters). If the body is grounded, there is an
increased risk of electric shock.
 Keep battery charger away from children.
 Always keep the battery charger clean and dry. Dirt accumulation results in the danger of an electric
shock.
 Keep the power cable clean and avoid the effects of heat, oil, sharp edges or moving machine parts
on the cable. The power cable may not be used for carrying or suspending the machine. Do not pull
the cable to pull the plug out of the plug receptacle.
 Dispose of properly.
4.13.1 Electrical safety
 The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the plug receptacle. The connector plug may not
be modified in any way. Do not use the adapter plug together with grounded machines. There is an
increased risk of an electric shock while changing plugs or sockets.
 Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces. There is a higher risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
 Keep battery charger away from moisture. Penetrating moisture increases the danger of an electric
shock.
 Do not divert the cable from its intended use. Protect cable from heat, oil and sharp objects. Damaged
or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
 If work in a moist environment cannot be avoided, a fault current protective switch must be used. Fault
current protective switches reduce the risk of an electric shock.
