ATTENTION! BE VERY CAREFUL WHILE CARRYING
OUT THIS OPERATION BECAUSE THE ELECTROLYTE
IS AN EXTREMELY CORROSIVE ACID.
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 CHARGING OF MULTIPLE BATTERIES
When simultaneous charging is required, it is possible to use in
"series" or "parallel" connections.
ATTENTION: In both cases, all the batteries used
must be the same type: same capacity (Ah), same
cold cranking amps (CCA), and same rated voltage
(Volt).
Series
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.
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.
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.
- Close the battery cells again, using the relative caps (if
present).
5. 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 also the
"ELECTRIC SYSTEM" or "MAINTENANCE" sections of the
vehicle instruction and/or maintenance manual.
