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
operating instructions of your battery for more information. Replenish only sufficient distilled water to ensure that the mini-
mum filling level is achieved. The liquid will expand during the charging process and the battery may overflow. Leave the cells
of the battery open until the end of the charging process.
In case of closed and maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer to the letter.
6.4 CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER
Caution: Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always connect the red
positive cable (+) of the charger (Position 11 in the overview) to the positive pole of the battery first. Then connect
the black minus
cable (-) to the minus pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to the
car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always maintain this sequence.
Caution: When the red control lamp (Position 7 in the overview) lights up, the charging cables have been connected
incorrectly. Remove the pole callipers from the battery poles and connect them correctly.
6.5 CHARGING THE BATTERY
6.5.1 SELECTING THE BATTERY TYPE
If a standard lead acid battery, a maintenance-free battery or an AGM battery is to be charged, set the switch for the battery type
(Position 3 in the overview) to the „NORMAL" position. For gel batteries, set the switch to „GEL".
6.5.2 SELECTING THE CHARGING MODE
If only a small battery is to be charged or normal charging is sufficient, set the switch for charging mode (Position 2 in the over-
view) to the „NORMAL" setting. For large batteries, or if fast charging is required, set the switch to „FAST".
Now connect the mains connection cable (Position 10 in the overview) of the battery charger to the power socket. Now the green
control lamp „ON" (Position 6 in the overview) and the yellow control lamp „CHARGING" (Position 5 in the overview) light up.
The battery is being charged.
Once the battery is fully charged, the battery charger switches over to maintenance mode. The green „FULL" control lamp (Posi-
tion 4 in the overview) lights up.
6.6 REMOVING THE CHARGER
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 down.
Only for open batteries: Fill the cells with distilled water up to the level specified by the battery manufacturer. Close the
battery cells with the stoppers.
7.MAINTENANCE AND CARE
7.1 MAINTENANCE:
The battery charger is maintenance-free when used in accordance with the intended purpose.
