•
Clean the poles with a steel brush or sandpaper.
•
Make sure the battery charger is not connected to the mains.
•
Connect the positive clamp of the battery charger (red) with the positive pole (+)
of the battery. Make sure the clamp is secured tight.
•

Operation
•
The status of the charging process is indicated by 3 LEDs on the front of the unit.
Refer to the illustration on page 2 of this manual.
•
When the battery charger is correctly connected to the battery, the red LED [A]
lights up. Otherwise, check the polarity of the connections and the fuse [D].
•
When the battery has filler caps, unscrew them before charging.
•
To start charging the battery, connect the battery charger to the mains. Make sure
the correct mains voltage is supplied (see technical specifications below).
•
The red LED [A] will remain on during the entire charging procedure.
•
The yellow LED [B] indicates that the battery charger is connected to the mains
and the charging procedure is ongoing.
•
If the yellow LED [B] does not light up, check the condition of the mains socket
and the mains.
•
When the yellow LED [B] turns off during charging, the circuit was interrupted by
the internal transformer overload protection system. Disconnect the charger from
the mains and allow it to cool down/stabilize for about 10 minutes before re-
connecting to the mains. If after several hours the charger still does not indicate
that the battery is being charged, a short-circuited element might be present inside
the battery. The battery must be replaced.
•
The charging procedure is finished when the green LED [C] lights. Note that the
intensity of the green LED [C] gradually builds up.
•
The battery charger does not stop automatically. When the green LED [C] shines
bright, disconnect the charger from the mains.
•
Disconnect the battery from the charger, starting with the clamp on the negative
pole (black) and then proceed with the clamp on the positive pole (red).
•
When the fuse [D] is blown, the fuse will light. Replace the fuse in the front of the
charger by a fuse with the same specifications. Make sure no battery is connected
to the charger and the charger is disconnected from the mains when replacing the
fuse. Use a small screwdriver as a lever to release the fuse from its socket. Insert
the new fuse. Avoid the use of excessive force!

Cleaning and Maintenance
Before starting any cleaning or maintenance activities:
1.
Unplug the device's power cord from the outlet.
2.
Let the device cool down.
•
Always remove the plug from the mains socket and disconnect batteries when
servicing or cleaning the charger.
•
Never use water or any other liquids to clean the charger.
•
Keep the cables clean, but avoid using cleaners based on benzene,
trichloroethylene, chloride, ammonia... as they affect or even dissolve plastic parts.
•
Check liquid level of batteries once per month and fill up when necessary.
•
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
