the eyes, immediately rinse under running water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor.
• Do not cover the charger, this may lead to overheating and result in damages. Never set the charger up
for operation on a surface that is insulating (e.g. polystyrene). There is a risk of heat build up!
• If you wish to charge a vehicle battery in the installed state, first park the vehicle safely, put on the parking brake
and switch off the ignition. Cut the battery off from the on-board network of your vehicle. To do this, consult the
manual for your vehicle, or ask your specialist workshop.
• This charger enables you to charge a battery without needing to disconnect it from the on-board network. If you
wish to make use of this option, make sure that your vehicle will not be damaged by this process. For this purpose,
read the manual of your vehicle or ask your specialist workshop.

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.
