Charging the battery
DANGER! Risk of injury! Switch off all
consumers in the vehicle and the ignition of
the vehicle to be started.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Avoid contact
with moving and hot engine components.
DANGER! Risk of injury! Always pay
attention to the correct polarity and firm seat-
ing of the battery terminals when connecting
the device to a battery, and avoid a short cir-
cuit by touching the battery terminals.
NOTICE! Product damage! In case of
maintenance-free batteries, the charging
process must be immediately discontinued
when the indicator of the charging state dis-
play is on "full". Maintenance-free batteries
are closed. If the charging process is not
stopped, the overpressure valve of the main-
tenance-free battery opens during "outgas-
sing". A fluid deficit arises, as it no longer
closes. The capacity is reduced during each
operation, and the battery is destroyed.
NOTICE! Product damage! The charging
cables must not be extended under any cir-
cumstances!
NOTICE! Product damage! Disconnect the
battery from the vehicle. This prevents dam-
age to the three-phase generator. To prevent
damage to the vehicle bodywork, remove
the battery completely.
Note: Use sufficiently strong metal parts of
the frame to earth the black minus terminal
to ground.
– Connect the plus-terminal (red) of the charger (6)
to the plus pole of the battery.
– Connect the minus terminal (black) (5) to ground,
e. g. frame.
– If the battery was dismantled from the vehicle,
connect the minus terminal (black) (5) to the
minus pole of the battery.
– Select an operating mode (► Modes of opera-
tion – p. 22).
– Insert the plug into the mains socket.
The charging process may take several hours,
depending on the state of the battery and its capacity.
Monitor the charging process via the charge status
indicator (9).
Fault/malfunction
The device is not charging.
Possible cause
Charging cable mixed up?
Residual voltage too low?
Connections of the battery oxidised
or soiled?
– Stop the charging process when the battery is full
as shown by the charge status indicator.
NOTICE! Product damage! Stop the
charging process:
• If no progress can be detected on the
charge status indicator over a longer
period of time. The battery may then be
defective.
• If you detect intense heat generation or
gas formation.
– Disconnect the mains cable of the device from the
power supply.
– Release minus terminal (black) from ground or
from the minus pole of the battery.
– Release the plus terminal (red) (6) from the plus
pole.
