4. PREPERATIONS

1. Provide adequate ventilation in the room during charging.
2. Do not open the cell plugs on maintenance- free lead batteries (lead-acid
batteries).
3. Check the acid level before charging nonmaintenance- free lead batteries.
4. Check the acid level occasionally when charging non-maintenance-free
lead batteries for a longer charging period.
5. Check the charging procedure regularly for safety reasons.
Attention!
Always avoid open flames, open lights and sparks in the proximity
of batteries being charging (Explosion hazard by detonating gas). Always ob-
serve the charging instructions of the battery manufacturer.

5. CONNECTION AND START-UP

Insert the mains cable of the device into an intact socket, which also complies
with the VDE regulations. You must ensure that all vehicle power consumers,
such as e.g. ignition, radio, light, telephone, mobile phone battery chargers
etc. are switched off, if the battery is charged in a built-in state. The lead battery
must be dismantled or unclamped if necessary. It is possible that the battery
has a leakage current or that the battery is still connected to a consumer, if
the battery charger does not indicate „Finished" (Fertig) or „Full" (Voll) after a
lengthy charging period.
First, connect the red terminal (+) to the positive terminal of the battery and then
the black terminal to the negative pole (–) of the battery.
Caution!
– Never clamp connections onto the vehicle body.
– The battery charger works at an ambient temperature of –25°C+ 45°C.
Please infer at which temperature or with which charging parameters a lead
battery must be charged from the technical specifications of the lead battery
manufacturer.
– Always observe the warning notes of the battery and vehicle manufacturer
before charging.
– The device can reach temperatures of up to 50°C during full load operation.
