Instructions for use
1. CAUTION
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDELINES CAREFULLY
BEFORE USE. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This manual will explain how to use the unit safely and effectively. Please read
and follow these instructions and precautions carefully.
1.1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
WARNING: Only use the charger to recharge 6V or 12V rechargeable lead-acid
batteries. Do not use it for any other purpose. Do not use with non-rechargeable
batteries. This charger is designed for use only with a supply voltage of 220V-
240V, 50/60Hz circuit.
The charger is suitable for indoor use only, in a well-ventilated area and on a flat surface.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
1. Keep out of reach of children.
2. This charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the charger by a person
responsible for their safety.
3. The charger must be kept in a dry area away from liquids. Do not expose the charger
to rain or snow.
4. Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons or
damage to property.
5. Connect and disconnect charging connectors (clamps, eyelets, cigarette lighter plug…)
only after removing AC cord from the mains.
6. Never pull on the AC cord to remove the AC plug from the mains. This may damage the
cord or the plug.
7. Unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
8. Do not operate the charger with a damaged mains cable or output lead; have the
damaged part replaced immediately by a qualified service person.
9. Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Never put the charger on top of the battery while charging it.
11. Do not attempt to charge a damaged battery

1.2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY
ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
1. Explosive gases can be emitted during the charging duration.
2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
3. Never charge a frozen battery.
4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
5. Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
6. To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece
of metal.
7. Wear protective clothes, gloves and goggles to use the charger. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near the battery.
8. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
9. If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO
NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
10. Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any
equipment used near the battery and the charger.
11. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and
make sure that the output voltage of the charger is correct.

2.2. Battery types
This electronic battery charger is designed to charge all types of lead batteries,
conventional batteries and batteries of the latest generation. This battery charger is ideal
for both everyday use, as a key working tool, and extensive charging cycles. All charging
parameters are set using the charge function key on the control panel.
2.3. Charge cycles
The charge cycles of the battery charger have been specially developed to optimize the
charge of all types of batteries currently available in the market. The numerous
constructional technologies of currently available batteries require different charging
curves to ensure correct and complete charging. This battery charger extends the lives of
your batteries because it provides each with the proper charge cycle.
2.4.
Interruption of the charge cycle
In case of blackouts in the 230V mains, the battery charger saves the work cycle it was
performing in order to restore it automatically as soon as the power supply of the 230V
mains is restored. This function is crucially important if the battery charger is used to
charge batteries without the operator supervising the cycle; for example, during very long
work cycles (maintenance charges) or when charging overnight (charges for vehicles that
need to be charged daily). The set parameters are stored for 12 hours; after 12 hours the
battery charger will resume charging with the default parameters.
2.5. Safety devices
