CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
Waste disposal
Batteries: Only dispose of these items through motor
vehicle workshops, special collection points or
special waste collection points. Ask your local
council.

3. Proper use
The charger is designed for charging 6 V, 12 V and
24 V starter batteries (lead acid batteries) which are
not maintenance-free versions and are used in motor
vehicles. If you are using maintenance-free starter
batteries (lead acid batteries), you must monitor the
charging process and switch off the equipment once
the end-of-charge voltage (gassing) is reached in
order to prevent damage to the starter battery by
overcharging. This equipment is not designed for
lead gel batteries.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
4. Technical data
Mains voltage: 230V ~ 50 Hz
Rated input current 1.16 A
Power rating: 212 W
5. Operation
Most motor vehicle manufacturers recommend
that the battery should be disconnected from the
vehicleʼs electrical system before being charged.
We would like to point out that even standard
vehicles are fitted with a whole host of electronic
equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump
and on-board computer). Any voltage peaks that
occur may cause defects in these electronic
modules. Therefore the battery should be
disconnected from the electrical system before
being charged.
Please also refer to the instructions in the
ownerʼs manuals for the car, radio, navigation
system, etc.
Proceed as follows to change the battery:
Figure 2:
Release or remove the battery stoppers (if fitted)
from the battery.
Figure 3:
Check the acid level in the battery. If necessary, top
up the battery with distilled water (if possible).
Important. Battery acid is aggressive. Rinse off any
acid splashes thoroughly with lots of water and seek
medical advice if necessary.
Figure 4/5:
Select the charging voltage. Pay particular attention
to the voltage details on the battery you wish to
charge. Select the charging current on the basis of
the symbols.
Figure 6:
First connect the red charging cable to the positive
pole of the battery.
