caustic. The battery charger therefore
needs to be switched off in order to prevent
accidents and to allow the battery to cool
down.
• During charging so-called detonating gas
can be liberated. That is why the filler caps
are unscrewed before charging(does not
apply to closed batterys, this means Battery
chargers without filler caps). Charging has
to take place in a thoroughly ventilated
space.
• The battery charger does not stop
automatically after charging. For this
reason it needs to be switched off and
disconnected from the battery. Do not leave
the battery charger connected to the mains
voltage after the battery has been charged
completely.
• This range of devices is only suitable for
accumulators containing lead and acid,
as specified in table 1, and are capable
of charging accumulators and starting
vehicles. These devices may not be used
for non-standard batteries and accessories.
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.
A lways 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 "6V/12V".
When charging, you should keep an eye on
the current meter to check that the indicator
