11.MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
11.1After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the solar battery maintainer (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
11.2Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the battery clips, cords, and the solar panel.
11.3The solar panel uses a glass substrate; please handle with care.
11.4Always keep the glass surface clean using a soft cloth in order to ensure its maximum output.
11.5Ensure that all of the solar battery maintainer components are in place and in good working condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
11.6Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no
11.7All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel.
12.MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
12.1Store the solar battery maintainer unplugged, in an upright position.
12.2Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
12.3Do not store the clips clipped together, on or around metal, or clipped to cables.
12.4If the solar battery maintainer is moved around the shop or transported to another location, take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and solar battery maintainer. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage.
13.BEFORE RETURNING FOR REPAIRS
13.1When a maintaining problem arises, make certain that the battery is capable of accepting a normal charge. Double check all connections, the solar battery maintainer clips for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery system. The clips must be clean.
13.2When a battery is very cold, partially maintained or sulfated, it will not draw the full rated amperes from the solar battery maintainer. It is both dangerous and damaging to a battery to force higher amperage into it than it can effectively use in recharging.
13.3When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please read the complete manual and call the customer service number for information that will usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for information about troubleshooting,
