Safety instructions for battery charger
In the design of the battery charger the
requirements for safe usage have been taken into
account. Any change, adaptation, conversion
or other use may interfere with the safety of the
apparatus. In addition, the guarantee will no
longer be valid because of this.
Keep out of the reach of children!
• Avoid a danger to life and the risk of injuries
due to improper use!
• Do not operate the device if the cables,
the mains cables or plug are damaged. A
damaged mains cable indicates a life-threat-
ending danger due to electric shock.
• Only have a damaged power cable repaired
by authorized and trained professionals! In the
event a repair is required, please contact the
service center for your country
• Danger for electric shock! For batteries
permanently mounted in a vehicle, verify the
vehicle is switched off! Switch off the ignition
ans put the vehicle in park with the handbrake
engaged (e.g. car) or fixed rope (e.g. electric
boat)!
• Danger for electric shock! Disconnect the
car charger from the mains before connecting
or removing the connectors to/from the
battery.
• First connect the clamp not connected to the
car body.
• Connect the other clamp to the car body, away
from the battery and the petrol pipe. Then only
connect the car charger to the power supply.
• Disconnect the car charger from the power
supply after charging.
• Danger of electric shock! Only
touch the terminal connection cables
(“-“ and “+”) in the insulated area!
• Danger of electric shock! Establish the
connection to the battery and the mains current
socket completely protected from moisture.
• Danger of electric shock! Only assemble,
maintain and care for the car charger whilst
disconnected from the mains!
• Danger of electric shock! Once the charging
and discharge process is completed, in
batteries permanently installed in vehicles first
disconnect the charger’s negative terminal
connection cable (black) from the battery’s
negative terminal.
• Do not leave toddlers or children unsupervised
with the car charger!
• Children are not yet able to assess potential
danger in handling electric appliances. Always
supervise children to ensure they do not play
with the tool.
• This device may be used by children age 8 years
and up, as well as by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capacities, or lacking
experience and/or knowledge, so long as they
are supervised or instructed in the safe use of the
device and understand the associated risks.
• Explosion hazard! Protect yourself
from a highly explosive hydrogen-
oxygen reaction! The battery may emit
gaseous hydrogen during charging
and trickle charging. Oxyhydrogen is
an explosive mix of gaseous hydrogen
and oxygen. Contact with open fire
(flames, embers or sparks) will cause
the so-called oxyhydrogen reaction!
Perform charging and trickle charging
in a well ventilated room protected
from the weather. Be sure there is no
open fire during charging and
maintenance charging!
• Danger of explosion and fire hazard!
Ensure that there is no possibility of ignition
of explosive or flame able materials, such as
petrol or solvents, while using the charger!
• Explosive gasses! Avoid flames and sparks!
• Ensure adequate ventilation whilst charging.
• Place the battery on a well ventilated surface
whilst charging. Ignoring this may damage the
device.

EN
• Explosion hazard! Ensure the
positive terminal connection cable
does not come into contact with fuel
lines (e.g. petrol pipe)!
• Danger of chemical burns! Protect your eyes
and skin against corrosion from acids when
coming into contact with the battery!
• Use acid-proof goggles, clothing and gloves!
If eyes or skin has come into contact with
sulphuric acid, rinse the effected body region
off with a plenty of clean water and consults a
doctor straight away!
• Avoid electric short-circuits when connecting
the car charger to the battery. Only connect
the negative terminal connection cable to the
negative battery terminal or the car body. Only
connect the positive terminal connection cable
to the positive battery terminal!
• Before connecting to the mains, verify the
mains power has the required 230 V~ 50 Hz,
neutral lead, a 16 A fuse and an ELCB switch
(earth leakage circuit breaker)! Ignoring this
advice may damage the device.
• Do not place the charger close to fire, heat
and prolonged temperatures over 50 °C! The
output power of the car charger automatically
drops In higher temperatures.
• Ensure no fuel lines, electric cables, hydraulic-,
water pipes are damaged by the screws whilst
assembling the charger! Otherwise there is a
risk of death or injuries!
• Only use the car charger with the included
original parts!
• Do not cover the car charger with objects!
Ignoring this advice may damage the device.
• Protect the surfaces of the battery‘s electrical
contacts from short circuiting!
• Only use the car charger for charging and
maintenance charging undamaged 6 V- / 12 V
leadacid batteries (with electrolyte solution or
gel)!
• Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Do not use the car charger for charging or
trickle charging non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Do not use the car charger to charge or
trickle charge a damaged or frozen battery!
Otherwise material damage could occur.
• Before connecting the charger, refer to the
battery‘ s original operating instructions for
battery maintenance information! Otherwise
there is a risk of injury and / or damaging the
device.
• Before connecting the charger to a battery
permanently connected to a vehicle, refer
to the vehicle‘s operating instructions for
information about maintaining electrical safety
and maintenance! Otherwise there is a risk of
injury and/or property damage.
• Also disconnect the car charger from the
mains when not in use for environmental
reasons! Remember standby operation also
consumes electricity.
• Always be alert and always be careful what
you do. Always proceed with caution and do
not operate the car charger when unconfused
or feel unwell.
3. OPERATION
Remove the mains plug from the mains
socket before performing any work on
the car charger. Risk of electric shock!
Danger of damage to property! Risk of
injury.
Product properties
This device is designed to charge a variety of SLA
batteries (sealed lead-acid batteries) primarily
used in cars, motorcycles and some other
vehicles. These can be e.g. WET- (with liquid
electrolyte), GEL- (with gelifi electrolyte) or AGM
batteries (with electrolyte absorbent glass mat).
The special design of the device (also referred
to as “three-level charging strategy“) allows
the battery to be charged to nearly 100 % of its
capacity. The charger can further be connected
to the battery for extended periods to keep it in
optimal condition.
Connecting
• Before charging and trickle charging a battery
permanently connected to the vehicle, first
disconnect the batteries negative terminal
connection cable (black) from the negative
battery terminal. The negative battery terminal
is typically connected to the car body.
• Then disconnect the vehicle’s positive terminal
connection cable (red) from the positive
battery terminal.
