fitted) from the battery.
• Check the acid level in the battery. If neces-
sary, top up the battery with distilled water (if
possible). Important. Battery acid is aggres-
sive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly
with lots of water and seek medical advice if
necessary.
• First connect the red charging cable to the
positive pole of the battery.
• Then connect the black charging cable to the
bodywork of the vehicle away from the battery
and the petrol pipe.
• Warning! Under normal circumstances the
negative battery pole is connected to the
bodywork and you proceed. In exceptional
cases it is possible that the positive battery
pole is connected to the bodywork (positive
earthing). In this case connect the black
charging cable to the negative pole on the
battery. Then connect the red charging cable
at a point away from the battery and the petrol
pipe.
• After the battery has been connected to the
charger, you can connect the charger to a so-
cket supplying 230 V ~ 50 Hz. The equipment
automatically recognizes the rated voltage
(6V or 12 V) of the connected battery. The
LCD display lights up yellow. Do not connect
it to a socket that supplies any other mains
voltage. Important! Charging may create
dangerous explosive gas and therefore you
should avoid spark formation and naked fla-
mes whilst the battery is charging. There is a
risk of explosion!
• If the battery terminals are connected in re-
verse, the protection against swapped poles
ensures that the battery and the charger do
not get damaged. If this is the case, remove
the charger from the battery and from the so-
cket outlet. Start charging again after waiting
for approx. 3 minutes.
Calculating the charging time (Fig. 3)
The charging time depends on the charge status
of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged,
the approximate charging time up to approx. 80%
charged can be calculated using the following
formula:
Charging time/h =
Amp. (charging current)
The charging current should be 1/10 to 1/6 of the
battery capacity.
Note! Gases are released during the charging
process. It is essential that you ventilate the
rooms well.
As long as the equipment is charging, the LCD
display shines green. If charging is complete, the
LCD display shines blue.
5.4 Finishing charging the battery
• Pull the plug out of the socket.
• First disconnect the black charging cable
from the bodywork.
• Then release the red charging cable from the
positive pole on the battery.
• Important! In case of positive earthing, first
disconnect the red charging cable from the
bodywork and then the black charging cable
from the battery.
• Screw or push the battery stoppers back into
position (if there are any).
5.5 Battery tester for 12 V batteries
Connect the charger to the battery. The LCD
symbol "H" (Fig. 2) shows the charge status (1
increment = 25%). The battery voltage is shown
on the LCD display.
