is as follows:
- Remove the battery caps (if present), so that the gas
produced during charging can exit. Make sure the level
of electrolyte covers the battery plates; if they are not
covered, add distilled water until they are submerged by
5-10 mm.

4.2 BATTERY CHARGER/BATTERY CONNECTION
- Check that the power cable plug has been disconnected
from the mains socket.
- Connect the red charging clamp to the positive battery
terminal (+ symbol). If the symbols are not clear,
remember that the positive terminal is the one that is not
connected to the vehicle chassis.
- Connect the black clamp to the vehicle chassis, at a
distance from the battery and the fuel pipe.
N.B.: If the battery is not installed inside the vehicle,
directly connect to the negative battery terminal (-
symbol).
4.3
SIMULTANEOUS
BATTERIES
WARNING: do not charge batteries of different
capacities, discharges or types. When simultaneous
charging is required, it is possible to use "series" or
"parallel" connections:
series
parallel
For "parallel" connections the batteries must have the same
rated voltage (Volt), corresponding to that supplied by the
battery charger and the total of the Ah must fall within the
charge range of the battery charger.
For "series" connections the batteries must have the same
capacity (Ah), and the total of the rated voltage of all the
batteries must correspond to the output rated voltage
supplied by the battery charger.
4.4. CHARGE ENDING
- Disconnect the battery charger by removing the power
cable from the mains socket.
- Disconnect the black charge clamps from the vehicle
chassis or from the negative battery terminal (- symbol).
- Disconnect the red charging clamp from the positive
battery terminal (+ symbol).
- Return the battery charger to a dry place.

5. VEHICLE STARTING OPERATION (12V)
ATTENTION: Before proceeding, read the vehicle
manufacturers instructions carefully!
WHILE
- Make sure the power line is protected by fuses or
automatic circuit-breakers with sizes as indicated on the
rating plate by the symbol (
- To make the starting process easier, quick charge the
battery for 10-15 minutes, with the battery charger in
charge and NOT starter position.
- If the vehicle does not start, wait a few minutes and then
repeat the rapid charge operation. Do not insist further
if the vehicle motor does not start; this could cause
serious damage to the battery or even to the electrical
equipment in the vehicle.
5.1 BATTERY CHARGER/BATTERY CONNECTION
- Check before starting the vehicle that the battery
nominal voltage corresponds to the value indicated on
the battery charger.
- Make sure the battery is connected properly to
the respective (+ and -) terminals, that the battery
MULTIPLE
connections are correct and the battery is in good
condition (not sulphated or dead).
- Never ever start vehicles with the batteries disconnected
from their respective terminals; the presence of the
battery is essential for the elimination of possible
overvoltage that may be generated due to energy
accumulating in the connection cables at the starting
stage. Failure to comply with these instructions can
cause damage to the vehicle electronic system.
5.2 STARTING
- To select this function, please refer to "STARTING"
illustration.
5.3. STARTING COMPLETED
- Disconnect the power cable plug from the mains socket.
- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the negative
battery terminal (- symbol) and the red clamp from the
positive battery terminal (+ symbol).
- Return the battery charger to a dry place.
6. USEFUL ADVICE:
- Clean the positive and negative terminals from possible
oxide deposits to guarantee good clamp contact.
- If the battery to be recharged using this apparatus
is permanently fitted inside the vehicle, consult the
"ELECTRIC SYSTEM" or "MAINTENANCE" sections of
the vehicle instruction and/or maintenance manual.
