Preparing the battery
•
Clean the battery terminals and remove any rust or other deposits before connecting the battery terminals.
•
Unscrew the battery cell caps if applicable and check the acid level. Fill in the appropriate cells with
distilled
water
if the acid level is below the minimum level mark.
Do not use tap water.
•
Leave the caps loose while the battery is charging to allow any gas to escape.
•
You will not need to open or fill sealed batteries with distilled water.
Start the charging process
Caution:
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket.
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.
Caution:
After plugging the mains cable in select the desired charging program by operating the MODE button
multiple times. If the MODE button is not pressed, the charging process is not started. When charging has started it
is no longer possible to switch to another charging program, If you wish to work with a program other than the set
charging program, pull the plug out of the socket and wait until the display has gone dark. Then insert the plug
again and proceed as described above.
Now, connect the power plug of the charger to the mains socket. The background illumination of the display is
activated.
If the battery has been connected incorrectly (wrong poles) or the charger has no contact, the following error mes-
sage appears on the display “Er 1”. If the error message ”Er 2” is shown, a defective 6 V battery has been connec-
ted, this cannot be charged using the battery charger. If the battery has been correctly connected, the display
shows the current battery voltage and the symbol for the set charging program. By pressing (multiple times) the
MODE button, you can select the appropriate charging program for your needs.
The charging programs appear in the following order and may be selected by pressing the MODE button:
Motorbike 6 V
Motorbike 6 V winter
Motorbike 12 V
Motorbike 12 V winter
Car 12 V
Car 12 V winter
Depending on the charging state of the battery, the device adapts the charging current in order to best charge the
connected battery. The specified maximum charging current is only used during the main charging phase. Shortly
before the full charging capacity is achieved, the device switches to a lower charging current. This ensures that the
battery is gently and optimally charged to full capacity.
The battery symbol (2) in the display shows on the display indicates the current filling level of the battery.
Ending the charging process
•
First unplug the charger from the mains, then disconnect the black alligator clip from the negative terminal or
vehicle body; then disconnect the red terminal from the positive terminal of the battery.
•
If necessary, check the acid level and fill the battery up with distilled water if needed. Carefully screw the cap
back on as required.
Cleaning and storage
•
Clean the charger housing with a damp cloth if necessary.
•
Do not use solvents as they may damage the housing.
•
Store the charger in its original packaging in a dry place out of reach from children or anyone else not entrusted
with using the charger.
