Charger use

Warning – danger of explosion! Batteries with cell closure cannot be charged. Explosive gas generation risk. Nickel-cadmium batteries and batteries that are not rechargeable cannot be charged in the charger. Casing of these battery types can tear apart.
Putting into operation
Attention: Danger of damage!
The charger needs to be installed to a place protected against humidity and moist air.
Make sure

there were no combustible materials or gases near the appliance,
the charger installation place was well ventilated and the surface sufficiently firm.
Attention! Use the battery charger in an upright position only.

Do not in any case lay the power cords and drop cables to the battery in a manner that they were too much stretched, broken or lay over any sharp edges. The charger holes for air inlet and outlet must remain free.
Before charging, disconnect the vehicle battery from the current source in the vehicle to prevent any appliances from influencing the charging process. First disconnect the negative pole, then the positive one.
Appropriate instructions can be found in the battery Operating Instructions. Batteries requiring maintenance need to be prepared as follows: clean the battery surface with a damp cloth so that no impurities could get in the battery. Unscrew the hat-guard from each cell if possible.
Warning! Danger of injury! It is necessary to prevent contact with the battery fluid! Check the fluid state. If the fluid reaches in one or several cells below the minimum level, add distilled water up to the guideline. Do not in any case use normal tap water. Let the cells open during the entire charging process so that generating gases could escape.

Charger connection
Insert the mains plug to a ground and properly protected 230 V socket. Consultation with a specialist needs to take place if anything is not clear. Connect the red positive terminal of the charger with the battery positive pole (+ marking). Connect the black negative terminal of the charger with the battery negative pole (– marking). The charger is now ready to charge the connected battery.
Attention! Correct battery connection needs to be observed!

Battery charging

Connect the battery according to the above-mentioned description.
Using the selector switch (8), choose the charging voltage. Choose the charging voltage according to the battery type (see the battery type label), 12V or 24 V.
Using the knob (6), select the battery type (lead, gel or lead-calcium; see the battery type label). Appropriate LED shows the selected battery type. If anything is not clear, as far as the battery is concerned, consult that in a specialised battery shop.
By turning the knob “Ah“ (7) set the ampere-hours (Ah) of the charged battery. Please take into account that not all numbers can be set. If the required value cannot be set, select the closest higher value.
The charger will automatically start charging.

Charger disconnection
Attention – danger of damage! Make sure you did not cause short-circuit at disconnecting. Switch the charger off. For this purpose, set the switch (8) to a central position.
Disconnect the black negative terminal of the charger. Now disconnect the red positive terminal of the charger. Pull the 230 V plug out of the socket. The following two steps need to be taken at batteries requiring maintenance: Warning – danger of injury! Prevent contact with the battery fluid!
Check the fluid level in battery cells. If the fluid reaches in one or several cells under the minimum level, add distilled water up to the guideline. Do not use normal tap water. Close the open hat-guards of battery cells. Lubricate the battery poles with some fat to prevent corrosion. Re-connect the battery to the vehicle.
