SAFETY NOTES

The warning triangle labels all instructions important to safety. Always follow these otherwise you could injure
yourself or damage the device.
Only connect the device to a power socket installed according to regulations. The voltage must correspond to the
specification on the type plate of the device.
Do not trap the power cable and protect it from sharp edges, damp, heat or oil. The power cable of the unit cannot
be replaced. In the event that the cable is damaged, the unit must be disposed of.
Do not operate the device or immediately pull the plug if it is damaged or you suspect it may be defective. In this
case, contact our technicians.
Pull the plug when the device is not in use.
Keep packaging materials, especially plastic and plastic bags, away from children. Risk of suffocation.
Remove all plastic from the device before use.
Place the mains cable in such a manner that it does not impede and that it cannot be unplugged accidentally.
Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply after the charging process.
Keep the charger in a place that cannot be accessed by children or unauthorised persons.
Never operate the device in the vicinity of flammable materials or in an environment prone to explosion.
Do not cover the charger as this may lead to overheating and thus damage to the device. Never set the charger up
for operation on a surface that is insulating (e.g. polystyrene). There is a risk of heat built up!
If you wish to charge a vehicle battery in the installed state, first park the vehicle safely, put on the parking break
and switch off the ignition. Cut the battery off from the on-board network of your vehicle. To do this, consult the
manual for your vehicle, or ask your specialist workshop.
Only hold the power supply at the power plug when disconnecting from the power socket.
Do not expose the charger to fire, heat and long-exposures to temperatures in excess of +40°C!
Store these instructions carefully and, if necessary, pass them on to other users.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation of the battery
Clean the battery poles from dust and corrosion residue. In case of maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of
the battery manufacturer to the letter.
Connecting the battery maintenance device
Caution: Ensure that the battery maintenance device is not connected to the power socket. Always connect the
red positive cable (+) of the charger to the positive pole of the battery first. Then connect the black minus-cable
(-) to the minus pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to the car
body, far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always stick to this sequence.
Protection from connection to the wrong pole
This device is protected against accidental incorrect connection. If the pole clamps are connected incorrectly and the power
supply plugged in, the control LEDs will not light up.
Charging of battery
Now, connect the power supply of the battery maintenance device to the main socket. The charging process is now started and
the control LEDs „CHARGING" and „POWER" light up.
The charger determines when the battery voltage has reached a value of 13.5 Volts. It ends the charging process and switches over to
maintenance charge (the green „CHARGING" LED flashes). When the measured value is 13 Volts, the charging process is started again.
Finish the charging process by disconnect the power supply of the battery maintenance device from the mains socket.
Removing the charger
Caution: First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the following sequence for disconnection. This prevent
the generation of sparks. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake of
your safety.
