Maintaining the Charger

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not disassemble the battery charger. See note below.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: The Truecharge2 Series Battery Charger contains no user- serviceable parts with the exception of the DC output fuse(s) which are user-replaceable. See “Replacing the DC Output Fuse” on page 48 for instructions. For obtaining service other than replacing the fuse, see “Warranty and Return Information” on page 58 for guidance.

The Truecharge2 Battery Charger contains solid-state electronic components that require no maintenance. The best care you can give the charger is to protect it from contact with liquids, spray, or fumes which may cause corrosion and by keeping the air intake vent clean and free from any obstructions.

Disconnect all AC and DC power and clean the outside of the case and wiring with a damp cloth. Wear protective gloves, if you suspect it has come in contact with battery fluid, salt water, gasoline or oil, or other corrosive material. Do not operate if the charger contains moisture of any kind.

Periodically, disconnect all AC and DC sources and check all DC and AC wiring connections to be sure they have not loosened or deteriorated. Also check all cable clamps to ensure they are tightly fastened.

Loose battery terminals and lugs exposed to open air corrode rapidly. The corrosion appears as a white powder or granular foam on the terminals and any nearby exposed metal parts. If it contacts your skin, it will cause burns unless you rinse it off immediately.

To clean battery terminals, follow the recommendations and procedures of the battery manufacturer.
