5. Before starting the equipment

Most motor vehicle manufacturers recommend that the battery should be disconnected from the vehicle's electrical system before being charged. We would like to point out that even standard vehicles are fitted with a whole host of electronic equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump and on-board computer). Any voltage peaks that occur may cause defects in these electronic modules. Therefore the battery should be disconnected from the electrical system before being charged.

Please also refer to the instructions in the owner's manuals for the car, radio, navigation system, etc.

Notes on automatic charging

The charger is an automatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for charging maintenance-free batteries and for the long-term charging and maintenance-charging of batteries which are not in constant use, e.g. for boats, lawn mowers and the like. Battery gassing is prevented because the charging voltage is limited to 14.1 V (2.35 V/cell). The charging operation does not need to be monitored.

5.1 Charging the battery:

• Release or remove the battery stoppers (if fitted) from the battery.
• Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top up the battery with distilled water (if possible). Important. Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any acid splashes thoroughly with lots of water and seek medical advice if

necessary.

Fig.2:

A= Automatic

Move the upper switch to position "A" for maintenance-free and non-maintenance-free batteries. N= Normal

Move the upper switch to position "N" only for non-maintenance-free batteries.

Fig. 3:

N= Normal

Move the lower switch to position "N" for charging with normal charging current.

S= Fast

Move the lower switch to position "S" for charging with a higher charging current.

• 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 socket supplying 230V\~50Hz. 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 flames whilst the battery is charging. There is a risk of explosion!

Fig. 4: Calculating the charging time

The charging time depends on the charge status of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged, the approximate charging time can be calculated using the following formula:

Battery capacity in Ah

Charging time/h =

Amp. (arithmetic charging current)

24 Ah

Example = ——— = 9,6 h max. 2,5 A

GB

A high initial current, approximately equal to the rated current will flow in a normally discharged battery. As the charging time increases, the charging current will fall.

Old batteries for which the charging current does not fall are suffering from a defect, such as a cell short circuit or ageing damage.

The charging current should be 1/10 to 1/6 of the battery capacity.

A high charge can only be identified by measuring the acid density using an acid tester. Note! Gases are released during the charging process (bubbles will form on the surface of the battery fluid). It is essential that you ventilate the rooms well.

Acid density values (kg/l at 20°C)

1.28 Battery charged
1.21 Battery semi-charged
1.16 Battery discharged

5.2 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).

6. Overload cut-out

Figure 5:

The integral fl at fuse protects the equipment from polarity reversal and short circuits. If the fuse suffers a defect it must be replaced by a new fuse with the same amp value. If you wish to replace the flat fuse, first pull the mains plug out of the socket and remove the charger clamps from the battery. In the event of a thermal overload, an automatic circuit breaker will stop the charging process. After a cooling break it will cut in again automatically.

7. Maintenance and care of the battery

• Ensure that your battery is always fitted securely.
• A perfect connection to the cable network of the electrical system must be ensured at all times.
• Keep the battery clean and dry. Apply a thin coating of grease to the connection terminals using an acid-free, acid-resistant grease (Vaseline).
• Check the level of the acid in batteries that are not maintenance-free versions approximately every 4 weeks and top up with distilled water if necessary.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
• The charger should be placed in a dry room for storage. Any corrosion must be cleaned off the charging terminals.

8.2 Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

8.3 Ordering replacement parts:

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine

9. Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in this packaging can be reused or recycled. The equipment and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as metal and plastic. Never place defective equipment in your household refuse. The equipment should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper disposal. If you do not know the whereabouts of such a collection point, you should ask in your local council offices.

GB

Overloadcut-out trips	- Charger clamps connected incorrectly- Contact between the charger clamps- Battery highly discharged- Battery defective	- Connect the red clamp to the positive pole and the back clamp to the bodywork- Prevent contact- Select a lower charging current- Have the battery checked by an expert and replace it if necessary
Charging current indicators does not work	- Poor contact between the charger clamps and battery poles- Battery defective- Defective charging current indicator	- Clean the contacts and charger clamps- Have the battery checked by an expert and replace it if necessary- Check the function of the equipment using a different battery

GB

For EU countries only

Never place any electric power tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric power tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the return request:

As an alternative to returning the equipment to the manufacturer, the owner of the electrical equipment must make sure that the equipment is properly disposed of if he no longer wants to keep the equipment. The old equipment can be returned to a suitable collection point that will dispose of the equipment in accordance with the national recycling and waste disposal regulations. This does not apply to any accessories or aids without electrical components supplied with the old equipment.
