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.

• (Caution!(1)Ourchargersareonlysuitablefor

those accumulators having a residual voltage

above 2 V - 4 V. No current flows into batteries

havingaresidualvoltagebelow2V-4V(2).

The current meter only provides a general

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

4. OPERATING THE BATTERY

CHARGER

The charging process starts after connecting the

clamps correctly to the battery and connecting the

plug to the mains. The charging current is visible

onthedisplayonthefrontFig.2).

• The charging process starts when the red light

comes on.

• The battery is fully charged when the green

light comes on.

Overload

When the charging current becomes too high the

red light will indicate that there is an overload and

the charging process will stop.

After cooling down, the charger will start

automaticallyagain(redlightgoesoutagain).

Reverse

The red light indicates that the battery charger is

not connected correctly to the battery: the clamps

havetobeexchanged(redclampon+andblack

clampon-).

Check charged battery

On the basis of the specific gravity of the battery

acid can be gathered if an battery is fully loaded

or not. With the help of a specific gravitymeter the

specific gravity can be appointed.

Empty battery: s.g. = 1.13 kg/dm

Full battery: s.g. = 1.28 kg/dm

5. MAINTENANCE

Always remove the plug from the mains socket

when the battery charger is being serviced or

cleaned. Never use any water or other liquids

when cleaning the charger. Keep the cable

and your battery charger clean. Some cleaners

andsolvents(petrol,thinner)canaffectordis-

solve plastic parts. These products contain

a.o. benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and

ammonia.

Defective batteries

• Damaged batteries which do not retain their

charge. It is often the case that batteries which

are in very bad condition can no longer be

charged;theyneedtobereplacedbecause

they do not retain their charge.

• Short circuited batteries.

If, after several hours the battery charger still

does not indicate that the battery is being

charged, this usually means that one of the

elements is short circuited. The battery needs

to be replaced.

Malfunction

If your battery charger no longer functions as it

should, this may be due to the following reasons:

• The clamp has been connected wrongly.

Check if the right clamp is connected to the

right terminal.
