To avoid the danger of fire and electric

shock,theymayalsonotbeusedasDC

power supplies.

• Thechargermustonlybeconnectedto

an appropriate power socket with an earth

connection.

• Youshouldhavewaterandsoapywater

available when using the accumulator.

The accumulator contains corrosive

substances that are dangerous to the skin

and especially the eyes. If you should

accidentally come into contact with these

substances, immediately rinse the affected

region with water and seek medical help.

• Theaccumulatorstoresagreatdealof

energy. The plus and minus terminals

should not be shorted with metal objects or

this may cause a short circuit resulting in

personal injury or fire.

• Non-rechargeablebatteriesmaynotbe

charged.

• Firstconnectthebatteryterminalthatisnot

connected to the vehicle chassis. The other

connection is then made to the vehicle

chassis, away from the battery and fuel

lines. Only then should the battery charger

be connected to the mains power supply.

The apparatus needs to be switched off

completely in the case of:

• Malfunctioningordamagetothemainsplug

or mains cable.

• Smokeorstenchfromscorchedinsulation.

Alwayswearsafetyglassesandold

clothes during working with the battery,

because battery acid is a biting

product!

3. INSTALLATION

Before putting the battery charger into operation

thefollowingstepsneedtobetaken(Fig.1):

• Ifthebatteryisstillconnected,itneedsto

be disconnected,

• firstthenegativeterminal(A);

• thenthepositiveterminal(B)!

It is advisable to remove the battery from

the vehicle before charging it.

• Checkthelevelofthebatteryacid.Forthis

purpose remove the battery stoppers first,

then check the acid level and, if necessary,

fillupwithdistilledwater(availablefromthe

chemists’).Theleveloftheelectriccharge

can be checked with a hydrometer.

• Cleantheconnectionsandtheterminals.

This can be done with a steel wire brush or

with sandpaper.

• Connectthepositiveclampofthecharger

(red)tothepositiveterminal(+)ofthe

battery. Then connect the negative clamp of

thecharger(black)tothenegativeterminal

(-)ofthebattery.Checkiftheclampsofthe

charger are firmly connected to the battery.

• Thefollowingstepsneedtobetakenwith

the help of the information of the charge

control display.

• Thechargermustnotbeplacedontopof

the accumulator or vice-versa. This is both

illegal and unsafe

• Iftheaccumulatortemperaturerisesabove

40ºCthenthechargingcurrentshould

be reduced, and if the temperature rises

above45ºCthenyoushouldstopcharging

and only resume charging when the

temperature has dropped.

• Nowplugthepowerplugintothemains

socketandsettheswitchto“Charge”.

When charging, you should keep an eye

on the current meter to check that the

indicatorisworkingproperly.(Caution!(1)

Our chargers are only suitable for those

accumulators having a residual voltage

above 2 V. No current flows into batteries

havingaresidualvoltagebelow2V(2).

The current meter only provides a general

indicationandnotanexactmeasurement).

• Whenthe“Full”lampilluminatesduring

charging, you should check that the battery

electrolyte has reached a specific gravity of

1.28. If not, then you can continue charging,

andifso,thenchargingisfinished.You

shouldthensetthe“Voltage”switchto“Off”.

Then remove the mains power plug and the

two clips from the plus and minus terminals

oftheaccumulator.(Whenchargingthe

battery while still in the vehicle, you should

first remove the clip connected to the

chassis.)
