4. Explanation of symbols

• 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 correctly installed socket. The voltage must correspond to the specication 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 suocation!

• Remove all plastic from the device before use.

• Lay the mains cable in such a way that you are not hindered by it, and no one is able to accidentally pull it.

• Disconnect the battery charger from the power supply after charging.

• Keep the charger in a place that cannot be accessed by children or unauthorised persons.

• Never operate the device in the vicinity of ammable materials or in an environment prone to explosion.

• Always wear suitable working clothes, protective gloves and goggles. Battery acid is corrosive! Immediately and thoroughly wash o any splashed acid and consult a doctor if necessary. If battery acid gets into the eyes, imme- diately rinse under running water for at least 10 minutes and consult a doctor.

• Do not cover the charger, this may lead to overheating and result in damages. Never set the charger up for ope- ration on a surface that is insulating (e.g. polystyrene). There is a risk of heat build up!

• If you wish to charge a vehicle battery in the installed state, rst park the vehicle safely, put on the parking brake and switch o the ignition. Cut the battery o from the on-board network of your vehicle. To do this, consult the manual for your vehicle, or ask your specialist workshop.

• When pulling the mains cable out of the socket, only hold the plug.

• Never expose the charger to the vicinity of re, heat and extensive temperatures over +40°C.

• Store these instructions carefully and, if necessary, pass them on to other users.

If the error message „ „ is shown, a defective 6 V battery has been connected, this cannot be charged using the battery charger. If the battery has been correctly connected, the display shows the current battery voltage and the symbol for the set charging programme. By pressing (multiple times) the MODE button, you can select the appropriate charging programme for your needs.

The charging programmes appear in the following order and may be selected by pressing the MODE button: Motorbike 6 V Motorbike 6 V winter Motorbike 12 V Motorbike 12 V winter Car 12 V Car 12 V winter Depending on the charging state of the battery, the device adapts the charging current in order to best charge the connected battery. The specied maximum charging current is only used during the main charging phase. Shortly before the full charging capacity is achieved, the device switches to a lower charging current. This ensures that the battery is gently and optimally charged to full capacity. The battery symbol (7) (Figure 2: Display) shown on the display indicates the current lling level of the battery.

6.2 Connecting the battery charger

Caution: Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Always rst connect the red plus cable (+) of the charger to the plus pole of the battery. Then connect the black minus cable (-) to the minus pole of the battery. If you wish to charge the battery while it is installed, connect the black minus cable (-) to the chassis, far away from the battery, carburettor and fuel lines. Always stick to this sequence. Caution: After plugging the mains cable inselect the desired charging pro- gramme by operating the MODE button multiple times. If the MODE button is not pressed, the charging process is not started. When charging has started it is no longer possible to switch to another charging program, If you wish to work with a program other than the set charging program, pull the plug out of the socket and wait until the display has gone dark. Then insert the plug again and proceed as described above. Now, connect the power plug of the charger to the mains socket. The background illumination of the display is activated.

Clean the battery pole of dust and corrosion residue. Only for open batteries: Top up with distilled water until the minimum lling level is reached. Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process. With maintenance-free batteries, follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer precisely.

6.3 Removing the charger

Caution: First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake of your safety. Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply. Then disconnect the black callipers (minus). Then remove the battery callipers from the plus pole of the battery (red callipers). Allow the battery to cool and ll the cells with distilled water to the lling level named by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells using the caps.

8. Notes regarding environmental protection

The packaging is made up of environmentally friendly materials which may be disposed of via your local recycling points. Do not put electrical devices into the household waste. Electronic and electrical devices must be collected sepa- rately and sent for environmentally friendly recycling.

7. Maintenance and care

Clean the pole callipers every time the charging procedure is completed. Remove all splashed battery acid from the pole callipers to prevent corrosion. Clean the device carefully with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or chemical cleaning agents. Never submerge the device in liquids. Never allow liquid to ow over the device. Before storing the device, roll up the cables properly using the designated hook in order to prevent damages to the cables and device. Store the device in a clean and dry place.
