Connecting The Battery Charger; Setting The Battery Charger; Charging Procedure; Removing The Charger - APA 16623 Manuel De L'opérateur

6.2.2 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

Caution: Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always first connect the
red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus pole of the battery. Subsequently, connect the black minus
cable (-) to the negative pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black nega-
tive cable (-) to the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines.
Always maintain this sequence.
Now, connect the power plug of the charger to the mains socket.
Caution: When the red control lamp „inverse" (Position 3.5 in the overview) lights up, the charge ca-
bles have been connected incorrectly. Remove the pole callipers from the battery terminals and con-
nect them correctly.
Caution: When the red control lamp „Error" (Position 3.4 in the overview) lights up, check whether the
set charge program and the connected battery correspond. Check the battery for defects.

6.2.3 SETTING THE BATTERY CHARGER

First, in the function selection control panel (Position 4 in the overview) use the selection switch for the operating
mode (Position 4.3 in the overview) to set the voltage for the battery, 6V or 12V. Then, using the switch for battery
type (Position 4.2 in the overview), select the appropriate type for your battery. Using the selection switch for the
charge current (Position 4.1 in the overview), set the appropriate charge current.

6.2.4 CHARGING PROCEDURE

Start the charging procedure by pressing the Start/Stop button (Position 6 in the overview). In the control field for
the operating status (Position 3 in the overview), the control lamp „Charge" (Position 3.1 in the overview) lights
up. If the control lamp „Repair" (Position 3.3 in the overview) lights up, the charger carries out a program for desul-
phation. With the selection button for the display (Position 2.4 in the overview) you can set the display to charge
voltage, charge current and charge progress. The control lamp „full" (Position 3.2 in the overview) shows that the
battery is fully charged and that the battery charger has switched over to maintenance mode.

6.2.5 REMOVING THE CHARGER

Press the Start/Stop button to end the charging procedure.
Caution: First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents
sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the
sake of your safety.
Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply.
Then disconnect the black callipers (minus). Then remove the battery callipers from the plus pole of the battery
(red callipers).
Allow the battery to cool and fill the cells with distilled water to the filling level named by the battery manufacturer.
Close the battery cells using the caps.
