• Do not guide the charging cables over sharp
edges.
• Do not trap the charging cable.
• Do not bend the charging cable.
• Never pull the charging cable.
• Lay the charging cables such that there is no dan-
ger of stumbling over them and damage to the
cable is ruled out.
Changing the fuse
The device is equipped with a flat plug-in fuse. This
responds in the event of a short circuit or voltage
peaks and must then be replaced.
NOTICE! Product damage! Do not install a
stronger fuse. The electronic system may
otherwise be damaged.
1. Pull out the defective flat plug-in fuse.
2. Insert a new flat plug-in fuse of the same rating
(see Technical Data) into the slot.
Before charging
– While removing battery from the vehicle make
sure that grounded terminal is at first discon-
nected. Turn off all consumers of the vehicle
(Radio, cigarette lighter or similar) to avoid spark-
ing.
– Clean contacts of the battery before each use.
– Carefully read the safety measures provided by
the battery manufacture.
– Observe the specified charging currents of the
battery manufacturer.

Operation
General notes on operation
DANGER! Risk of explosion! Avoid the
danger of a detonating gas explosion by pro-
viding good ventilation. Only use the product
outdoors.
Avoid smoke and spark formation. Never
bridge positive and negative connections
with a metal object!
Note: Do not charge deep-frozen batteries!
Cold batteries (temperatures just above
freezing point) are not able to collect high
charge currents, therefore the initial charge
current is very low. The charge current
increases when the temperature of the bat-
tery rises.
• If the battery cannot be charged, check whether
the charger is properly connected. Convince
yourself that there are no sulphur deposits on the
battery contacts.
• The battery can also not be charged if the starting
voltage of the battery is too low (deep discharge).
In this case, the battery must be replaced.
Check before use!
DANGER! Risk of injury! The product
must only be put into operation if no defects
are found. Ensure that any defective parts
are replaced before the product is used
again.
Check the safe condition of the product:
– Check the cable insulation.
– Check whether there are any visible defects. If the
mains cable or the plug is damaged, put the
device out of operation.
– Ensure that the battery poles are clean.
– Do not open maintenance-free batteries!
Check the battery acid level
NOTICE! Product damage! Never use tap
water to fill the battery.
Pay attention to the instructions provided by the bat-
tery manufacturer. If the battery is suitable, fill distilled
water into the respective battery cells until the battery
acid level stated by the battery manufacturer has
been reached. The cells must not overflow.
