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 minimum 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
6.4.1 CONNECTING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE WITH POLE CALLIPERS
Caution:
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket and that the adapter charging cable is
not connected to the battery charger.
Always connect the red plus cable (+) to the positive pole of the battery first. Subsequently, connect the black minus cable (-) to
the negative 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.
6.4.2 CONNECTING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE WITH EYES
Caution:
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket and that the adapter charging cable is not connected
to the battery charger.
Attach the eye of the red plus cable to the plus connection cable of your vehicle battery, e.g. the screws of the pole terminal.
Attach the eye of the black minus cable to the earth connection cable (minus cable) of your battery. Lay the cable so that it is
free from bends and tensions. It may not be attached in the vicinity of hot or rotating parts of the motor. The connection plug
may not get wet.
6.5 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Connect the adapter charging cable to the battery charger. Now connect the mains connection cable (Position 5 in the overview)
of the battery charger to the power socket. Now, the green „OPERATION“ control lamp (Position 2 in the overview) lights up. The
background illumination of the display (Position 1 in the overview) is activated. In the display, the battery voltage (Position 18
in the overview) and the symbol for the operating display (Position 19 in the overview) are shown.
Caution:
If the red control lamp „ERROR“ (Position 4 in the overview) lights up, and the error message „Er 1“
flashes on the display, the charging cables have been connected incorrectly. Remove the pole callipers/eyes from
the battery poles and connect them correctly.
6.5.1 SELECTING THE CHARGING PROGRAMME
To start the charging process, press the selection switch for the charging programme (Position 3 in the overview) until the
charging programme you want is set. If no charging programme is set, the charging process will not start. The most recently set
charging programme is saved and can simply be started by pressing the selection switch once the next time you use the charger.
The charging programmes are switched in the following order (see also Figure 3 in the overview):
1. 6 V mode
2. 6 V winter mode
3. 12 V motorbike mode
4. 12 V motorbike winter mode
5. 12 V car mode
6. 12 V car winter mode
After starting the charging process, the charging programme can no longer be modified. If you wish to use a programme that
differs from the one set, pull the plug of the charger and disconnect the battery from the charger (see section 6.6). Wait about
10 seconds until the display goes dark and then proceed according to section 6.5.1 and set the correct charging programme.
