INSERTING THE CABLE HOLDER
Insert the cable holder into the mounts (Position 6 in the overview) on the rear of the charger so that the openings of the vertically aligned cable holders face away from each other.
PREPARATION
Clean the battery poles to remove dust and corrosion residue.
Only for open batteries: Remove the plugs of the battery cells. Check the liquid level in the cells, and consult the operating instructions of your battery for more information. Replenish only suﬃ cient distilled water to ensure that the minimum filling level is achieved. The liquid will expand during the charging process and the battery may overflow. Leave the cells of the battery open until the end of the charging process.
In the case of closed and maintenance-free batteries, please follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer to the letter.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER
CAUTION
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket.
Always connect the red positive cable (+) of the charger (Position 9 in the overview) to the positive pole of the battery first. Then connect the black minus cable (-) to the minus pole of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburetor, and fuel lines. Always maintain this sequence.

CAUTION
When the red control lamp (Position 5 in the overview) lights up, the charging cables have been connected incorrectly. Remove the pole calipers from the battery poles and connect them correctly.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Now connect the mains connection cable (Position 8 in the overview) of the battery charger to the power socket. Now the green control lamp „ON“ (Position 4 in the overview) and the yellow control lamp „CHARGING“ (Position 3 in the overview) light up. The battery is being charged. Once the battery is fully charged, the battery charger switches over to maintenance mode. The green „FULL“ control lamp (Position 2 in the overview) lights up.

REMOVING THE CHARGER
CAUTION
First, pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake of your safety.
Disconnect the charger from the main power supply.
Then disconnect the black calipers (minus). Then remove the battery calipers from the plus pole of the battery (red calipers).
Allow the battery to cool down.

Only for open batteries: Fill the cells with distilled water up to the level specified by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells with the stoppers.
