6.2 USING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE

The adapter charging cable with pole callipers (Position F in the overview) is used if you wish to connect the charger
in the classic way to the poles of the battery. The adapter charging cable with eyes (Position E in the overview) is
designed to remain firmly attached to a battery which is difficult to access. The charger can be conveniently connected
using the adapter.

6.3 PREPARATION

Clean the battery poles to remove dust and corrosion residue.
Only for open batteries: Remove the plugs of the battery cells. Check the liquid level in the cells, consult the ope-
rating instructions of your battery for more information. Replenish only sufficient distilled water to ensure that the
minimum filling level is achieved. The liquid will expand during the charging process and the battery may overflow.
Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process.
In the event of closed and maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer to
the letter.

6.4 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

6.4.1 CONNECTING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE WITH POLE CALLIPERS

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket and that the adapter charging cable is not
connected to the battery charger.
Always connect the red plus cable (+) to the positive pole of the battery first. Subsequently, connect the black minus
cable (-) to the negative pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to
the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always maintain this sequence.

6.4.2 CONNECTING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE WITH EYES

CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket and that the adapter charging cable is not
connected to the battery charger.
Attach the eye of the red plus cable to the plus connection cable of your vehicle battery, e.g. the screws of the pole
terminal. Attach the eye of the black minus cable to the earth connection cable (minus cable) of your battery. Lay the
cable so that it is free from bends and tensions. It may not be attached in the vicinity of hot or rotating parts of the
motor. The connection plug may not get wet.
When using the adapter charging cable with the ring eyes, switch all consumers in the vehicle off before
starting the charging process. Never leave the charging process unattended.

6.5 CHARGING THE BATTERY

Connect the adapter charging cable to the charging cable (Position D in the overview) of the battery charger. Now
connect the mains connection cable (Position A in the overview) of the battery charger to the power socket. The back-
ground illumination of the display is activated.
If the battery has been connected incorrectly (wrong poles) or the charger has no contact, the following error message
appears on the display ˝Er1˝. If the error message ˝Er2˝ is shown, a defective 6 V battery has been connected, this can-
not be charged using the battery charger. If the battery has been correctly connected, the display shows the current
battery voltage and the symbol for the set charging programme.
CAUTION
After plugging the mains cable inselect the desired charging pro- gramme by operating the MODE button
multiple times. If the MODE button is not pressed, the charging process is not started. When charging has
started it is no longer possible to switch to another charging program, If you wish to work with a program
other than the set charging program, pull the plug out of the socket and wait until the display has gone
dark. Then insert the plug again and proceed as described above.
