The warning triangle labels all instructions relevant for safety. Always comply with these, as non-observance may lead to injuries or damage the device. Only connect the device to a power socket installed according to regulations. The voltage has to correspond with the information on the type plate of the device. Do not pinch the mains cable and protect it from sharp edges, humidity, heat or oil. The mains cable cannot be replaced. The device has to be scrapped if the cable is damaged. Do not operate the device or pull the mains plug immediately if the cable is damaged or in the event of a suspected defect. In these cases, please contact our technicians. Pull the mains plug when the device is not being operated. Keep the packaging material, particularly lms and lm bags out of reach of children. Risk of suocation. Remove all protective lms from the device prior to start-up. 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. Store the charger in a place which is out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Do not operate the device close to combustible material or in an explosive environment. Always wear suitable work clothing, protective gloves and safety glasses. Battery acid is caustic! Immediately rinse any acid splashes with lots of water and consult a physician, if required. If battery acid has come in contact with eyes, rinse immediately under running water for at least 10 minutes and consult a physician. Do not cover the charger as this may lead to overheating and thus damage to the device. During operation, do not place the charger on an insulating surface (e.g. polystyrene) - risk of heat accumulation! If you would like to charge a motor vehicle battery in an in-situ position, rst park the vehicle securely, then pull the parking break and switch o the engine. Disconnect the battery from the electrical distribution system of your vehicle. For this purpose, read the manual of your vehicle or ask your specialist workshop. Only hold the power cable at the power plug when disconnecting from the power socket. Do not expose the charger to re, heat and long-temperature impact of more than +40°C! Keep these operating instructions and pass them on to other users.

6. Operating instructions

6.1 Preparation of the battery

Clean the battery poles from dust and corrosion residue. Only for open batteries: replenish distilled water up to the minimum ll level. Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process. In case of maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer to the letter.

6.2 Connecting of battery charger

Attention: Ensure that the charger is not connected to the power socket. Principally connect the red positive cable (+) of the charger to the positive pole of the battery rst. Subsequently, connect the black minus cable (-) to the negative 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 maintain this sequence.6

6.3 Protection from connection to the wrong pole

The device is equipped with a fuse in order to protect the user from injury and the device from damage in case of accidental connection to the wrong poles. In the event of a wrong connection, this fuse is activated and subsequently requires a replacement with a fuse of the same type. This fuse is located in a bracket at the bottom of the device.

6.4 Charging of battery

Now, connect the power plug of the charger to the mains socket. The charging process has now started and the control LED „LADEN“ (CHARGING) lights up. The charging time of the battery depends on several factors, such as the capacity of the battery, the ambient temperature, the battery level, the performance of the charger, etc. An empty 36 Ah battery, at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, is fully loaded with this device in approx. 9 hours. It is very important to monitor the charging process in short intervals in order to prevent overcharge damages. Finish the charging pro- cess when the control LED „VOLL“ (FULL) is lit up by pulling the mains cable of the battery charger from the mains socket.

6.5 Removing of charger

Attention: First, pull the mains power plug from the socket and observe the sequence when disconnecting. This prevent the genera- tion of sparks. This is extremely important for your safety, as highly explosive oxyhydrogen is generated during the charging process. Separate the charger from the supply network. Then, remove the connection of the black clamp (-). Now, remove the battery clamp from the positive pole (+) of the battery. Allow the battery to cool down and ll the cells with distilled water up to the level specied by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells with the stoppers.

7. Maintenance and care

Maintenance The device is maintenance-free if used according to its intended purpose. Care Clean the pole clamps after each charging process. Remove all battery acid splashes from the pole clamps to prevent corrosion. Carefully clean the device with a dry cloth. Do not use liquids or chemical cleaning agents. Never submerge the device in liquid. Never allow liquid to run over the device. Insert the cable holders in the top bores of the casing screws on the back of the device. Properly roll up the cable before storing the device to prevent damage to the cables and the device. Store the device in a dry and clean location.

8. Information regarding environmental protection

Do not dispose of the device in household garbage. Electrical and electronic scrap has to be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner for recycling. Please contact your community or city administration regarding disposal options for electronic scrap.
