Safety notes
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH
OF CHILDREN!
 DANGER! Avoid danger to
life and danger of injury from
improper use!
 CAUTION! Do not operate the
device with a damaged cable,
mains cable or mains plug.
Damaged mains cables pose
danger to life from electric shock.
 Have the mains cable only re-
paired by authorized and trained
specialists if there is any damage!
Contact the service point of your
country if you need any repair!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Ensure that the
vehicle is not in operation if the
battery is installed firmly in the
vehicle! Switch off the ignition and
put the vehicle into the parking
position, with the parking brake
engaged (e.g. car) or the rope
attached (e.g. electrical robot)!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Disconnect
the car charger from the mains
before removing the connection
terminals.
 Connect the connection terminal
that is not connected to the car
body first.
 Connect the other connection ter-
minal to the car body away from
the battery and the gasoline line.
 Connect the car charger to the
supply grid only thereafter.

Safety notes
 Disconnect the car charger from
the supply grid after charging.
 Only then disconnect the connec-
tion terminal from the car body.
Then disconnect the connection
terminal from the battery.
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Only touch
the pole connection cables ("–"
and "+") in the insulated area!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Conduct the
connection to the battery
and the socket of the mains grid
completely protected from moisture!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Perform installa-
tion, servicing and maintenance
of the car charger only when the
mains current is not connected!
 DANGER OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Disconnect the
minus pole connection cable
(black) of the car charger from
the minus pole of the battery first
after completing charging and
maintenance charging if the
battery is continually connected
in the vehicle.
 Do not leave any toddlers or
children unsupervised around
the car charger!
 Children cannot assess possible
dangers in use of electrical
devices. Children must be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the device.
 This device may be used by
persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental abilities or a
lack of experience and knowledge
if they are supervised or have
been instructed about safe use
of the device and understand the
resulting dangers. Do not allow
children to play with the product.
Cleaning and user maintenance
must not be performed by children
without supervision.
 EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Protect yourself from
highly explosive oxyhydrogen
reactions! Gaseous hydrogen can
escape during charging or mainte-
nance charging of the battery.
Oxyhydrogen is a potentially
explosive mix of gaseous hydrogen
and oxygen. The oxyhydrogen
reaction occurs at contact with
open fire (flames, smouldering or
sparks)! Perform charging and
maintenance charging in a
weather-protected space that is
ventilated well. Ensure that there
are no open light (flames, smoul-
dering or sparks) during charging
or maintenance charging!
 EXPLOSION AND FIRE
HAZARDS! Ensure that explosive
or flammable substances, such

GB/NI/IE

Safety notes
as gasoline or solvents cannot be
ignited when you are using the
car charger!
 EXPLOSIVE GASES! Avoid
flames and sparks!
 Ensure sufficient ventilation when
charging.
 Put the battery onto a well-
ventilated surface when charging.
Otherwise, the device can be
damaged.
 EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Ensure that the plus-pole
connection cable has no contact
with a fuel line (e.g. gasoline line)!
 DANGER OF CAUSTIC
BURNS! Protect your eyes
and skin from caustic burns from
the acid (sulphuric acid) when it
comes into contact with the battery!
 Use: acid-resistant goggles,
clothing and gloves! If your eyes
or skin have come into contract
with the sulphuric acid, flush the
affected body region with plenty
of running, clear water and seek
medical advice at once!
 Avoid electrical short circuit when
connecting the car charger to the
battery. Connect the minus pole
connection cable only to the
minus pole of the battery or the
car body. Connect the plus pole
connection cable only to the plus
pole of the battery!
 Before connecting the mains
current, ensure that the mains
current is equipped properly with
230 V~ 50 Hz, an earthed zero
conductor, a 16 A fuse and an
FI-switch (fault-circuit interrupter)!
Otherwise, the device can be
damaged.
 Do not use the car charger near
any fires, heat and long-term
temperatures above 50 °C! For
higher temperatures, the output
power of the car charger will
drop automatically.
 Use the car charger only
with the original parts it was
delivered with!
 Do not cover the car charger
with any objects! Otherwise, the
device can be damaged.
 Protect the electrical contact
surfaces of the battery from
short circuit!
 Use the car charger only for
charging and maintenance
charging of undamaged
6 V-/12 V-lead batteries
(with electrolyte solution or gel)!
Otherwise, property damage
may be the consequence.
 Do not use the car charger for
charging and maintenance
charging of non-rechargeable
batteries. Otherwise, property
damage may be the consequence.

GB/NI/IE

 Do not use the car charger for
charging and maintenance
charging of damaged or frozen
batteries! Otherwise, property
damage may be the consequence.
 Learn about the maintenance
of your battery in its original
operating instructions before con-
necting the charger! Otherwise,
there is a danger of injury and/or
the risk of damage to the device.
 Before connecting the charger to
a battery that is continually con-
nected to the vehicle, learn about
compliance with the electrical
safety and maintenance in the
original operating instructions of
the vehicle! Otherwise, there is
a danger of injury and/or the
risk of property damage.
 Disconnect the car charger from
the mains current when it is not
is use to protect the environment
as well! Note that power is
consumed in standby operation
as well.
 Always pay attention and observe
what you are doing. Proceed
reasonably and do not take the
car charger into operation
when you are not focused or
not feeling well.
 Operation

socket before you perform any work at
the car charger.
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
DANGER OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!
DANGER OF INJURY!
Product properties
This device is designed for charging many SLA
batteries (sealed lead-acid batteries), which are
mostly used in cars, motorcycles and some other
vehicles. They can be, e.g., WET (with liquid elec-
trolyte), GEL (with electrolyte gel) or AGM batteries
(with electrolyte-absorbent mats). A special design
of the device (also called a "three-stage charging
strategy") permits recharging of the battery to
nearly 100% of its capacity. The battery may also
be connected to the car charger permanently in
order to keep it in optimal condition at all times.
Connection
 Disconnect the minus pole connection cable
(black) of the vehicle from the minus pole of the
battery first before charging and maintenance
charging if the battery is continually connected
in the vehicle. The minus pole of your battery
is usually connected to the car body of the
vehicle.
 Then disconnect the plus pole connection cable
(red) of the vehicle from the plus pole of the
battery.
 Only then connect the "+" pole quick contact
connection terminals (red)
5
of the car
charger to the "+"-pole of the battery.
 Connect the "–"-pole quick contact-connection
terminal (black)
6
to the "–"-pole of the
battery. Connect the mains cable

of the
car charger to the socket.
