10. WARNING - RISK OF
EXPLOSIVE GASES
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF
A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY
OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF OUTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
EACH TIME YOU USE THE
CHARGER.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instruc-
tions and those published by the battery manufacturer
and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use
in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case bat-
tery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immedi-
ately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of bat-
tery or engine.

f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or
other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with 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.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is
not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not
use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These batter-
ies may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge,
always remove grounded terminal from battery first.
Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not
to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while bat-
tery is being charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches
level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill.
For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve
regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufac-
turer’s recharging instruction.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s
manual and make sure it matches output rating of battery
charger.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as DC cables
permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being
charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when read-
ing electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict
ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.

14. DC CONNECTION
PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting
any charger switches to “off” position and removing AC
cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each
other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e),
15(f), 16(b) through 16(d).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN
BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN
VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK
OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by
hood, door or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts
that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected)
to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to the chassis
(as in most vehicles) see (e). If positive post is grounded to
the chassis, see (f).
e) For Negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE
(RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carbure-
tor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a
heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
f) For Positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block
away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor,
fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy
gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, discon-
nect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and then
remove clip from battery terminal.

• Ensure that the cabling does not jam or comes into contact
with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
• Never charge a damaged battery.
• Never place the charger on top of the battery when
charging.
• Avoid covering the charger.
• All batteries fail sooner or later. A battery that fails dur-
ing charging is normally taken care of by the chargers
advanced control, but some rare errors in the battery could
still exist. Don’t leave any battery during charging unat-
tended for a longer period of time.
• If power consumers like fitted alarms and navigation com-
puters are connected to the battery, the charging process
takes longer and may drain the battery.
• Always check that the charger has switched to STEP 7
before leaving the charger unattended and connected for
long periods. If the charger has not switched to STEP 7
within 50 hours, this is an indication of an error. Disconnect
the charger.

TIPS
1. If the error lamp (2) immediately illuminates, the battery
is incorrectly connected. Unplug the charger, correct the
connections to the battery, and return to step 1.
2. If the lamp don’t illuminate, this may be because the battery
is so discharged it cannot support the unit. If so, fully
charge the battery.
3. If mains mains voltage is detected, the MUS 4.3
TEST&CHARGE automatically enters Charging Mode. Press
the MODE-button (3) for two seconds to switch back to
Testing Mode, as signified by an illumination sequence in
lamp 4–6.
4.Start Power Test
OK (6) will illuminate at the start of the test, but may drop
down to BAD (4). Before discarding a battery, it’s worth
charging it using the charger’s Recond Mode and trying
the STARTPOWER test again. Batteries failing this test in
warm weather will almost certainly fail completely when
temperatures drop.

STEP 8 PULSE
Maintaining the battery at 95–100% capacity. The charger
monitors the battery voltage and gives a pulse when neces-
sary to keep the battery fully charged.
STEP 1 DESULPHATION
Detects sulphated batteries. Pulsing current and voltage,
removes sulphate from the lead plates of the battery restor-
ing the battery capacity.
STEP 2 SOFT START
Tests if the battery can accept charge. This step prevents
charging of a defective battery.
STEP 3 BULK
Charging with maximum current until approximately 80%
battery capacity is reached.
STEP 4 ABSORPTION
Charging with declining current to maximize up to 100%
battery capacity.
STEP 5 ANALYSE
Tests if the battery can hold charge. Batteries that cannot
hold charge may need to be replaced.
STEP 6 RECOND
Choose the Recond program to add the Recond step to the
charging process. During the Recond step voltage increases
to create controlled gassing in the battery. Gassing mixes
the battery acid and returns energy to the battery.
STEP 7 FLOAT
Maintaining the battery voltage at maximum level by pro-
viding a constant voltage charge.

6. MISE EN GARDE – RISQUE DE
GAZ EXPLOSIFS
a) LE TRAVAIL À PROXIMITÉ
D'UNE BATTERIE AU PLOMB
EST DANGEREUX. EN
UTILISATION NORMALE, LES
BATTERIES PRODUISENT DES
GAZ EXPLOSIFS. IL EST DONC
ESSENTIEL DE RESPECTER
CES CONSIGNES CHAQUE
FOIS QUE VOUS UTILISEZ LE
CHARGEUR.
b) Pour réduire le risque d'explosion de la batterie, suivez
ces instructions et celles publiées par le fabricant de la
batterie et de tout équipement que vous avez l'intention
d'utiliser à proximité. Examinez les avertissements
indiqués sur ces produits et sur le moteur.
11. PRÉCAUTIONS
a) Veiller à ce qu'il y ait toujours quelqu'un dans les parages
pour vous venir en aide lorsque vous travaillez près d'une
batterie au plomb.
b) Veiller à ce que de l'eau et du savon soient disponibles
en quantité suffisante en cas de contact de l'acide avec
la peau, les vêtements ou les yeux.
c) Toujours porter des vêtements de protection et des
lunettes. Éviter de se toucher les yeux lorsque l'on se
trouve à proximité d'une batterie.
20018888A MUS 4.3 Test&Charge, Manual, Print file.indd 19 2013-01-15 16:28:33

20 • FR
a) En cas de projections d'acide sur la peau ou les
vêtements, rincer immédiatement à l'eau savonneuse.
En cas de projection d'acide dans les yeux, rincer
immédiatement àl'eau courante froide pendant un
minimum de 10minutes et consulter immédiatement un
médecin.
b) Ne JAMAIS fumer et empêcher toute étincelle ou flamme
à proximité d'une batterie ou d'un moteur.
c) Redoubler de prudence pour éviter toute chute d'outil
métallique sur la batterie, ce qui pourrait produire une
étincelle ou provoquer un court-circuit pouvant être à
l'origine d'une explosion.
d) Retirer tous les objets personnels en métal tels bagues,
bracelets, colliers et montres lorsqu’on manipule des
batteries au plomb. Un court-circuit survenant dans une
batterie au plomb est suffisamment puissant pour souder
un bijou au métal et provoquer des brûlures sévères.
e) Utiliser le chargeur uniquement pour charger des
BATTERIES AU PLOMB. Il n'est pas conçu pour
l'alimentation d'un circuit électrique à basse tension
autre que celui utilisé pour le démarrage d'un moteur.
Ne pas utiliser le chargeur pour les batteries sèches
généralement utilisées dans les appareils ménagers.
Ce type de batteries est susceptible d'exploser et de
provoquer des dégâts matériels et des blessures.
f) Ne JAMAIS charger une batterie gelée.
12. AVANT DE CHARGER UNE
BATTERIE
a) Si nécessaire, retirer la batterie à charger du véhicule en
détachant toujours dans un premier temps la borne de
terre. Vérifier que tous les accessoires du véhicule sont
débranchés afin de ne pas provoquer d’arc électrique.
b) Pendant la charge, assurer une bonne ventilation autour
de la batterie.
c) Nettoyer les bornes de la batterie. Nettoyer les bornes
de la batterie. Éviter toute projection de matière corrodée
dans les yeux.
d) Ajouter de l'eau distillée dans chaque cellule jusqu'à ce
que le niveau d'acide atteigne le niveau indiqué par le
fabricant de batteries. Ne pas remplir au-delà du niveau
recommandé. Pour les batteries sans bouchons comme
les batteries au plomb régulées par soupape, respecter
scrupuleusement les instructions de charge du fabricant.
e) Prendre connaissance des consignes de sécurité
particulières du fabricant et des tensions de charge
recommandées.
f) Déterminer la tension de la batterie en consultant le guide
du propriétaire du véhicule et s'assurer que la tension de
sortie du chargeur est correctement sélectionnée.

13. EMPLACEMENT DU
CHARGEUR
a) Installer le chargeur le plus loin possible de la batterie,
en fonction de la longueur des câbles.
b) Ne jamais placer le chargeur directement au-dessus
de la batterie en cours de charge. Les gaz produits par
la batterie sont corrosifs et risquent d'endommager le
chargeur.
c) Ne jamais laisser l'acide de la batterie goutter sur le
chargeur durant les mesures de densité ou durant le
remplissage des éléments.
d) Ne pas utiliser le chargeur dans un endroit confiné ou
mal ventilé.
e) Ne pas poser la batterie sur le dessus du chargeur.
