Connection and start-up

Connection and start-up
If the battery to be charged is built in, you must make sure that all
current consumers of the vehicle, such as e.g. ignition, radio, light,
telephone, mobile charging devices etc., are switched off. The lead
battery must be dismantled or disconnected, if applicable. Refer to the
battery or vehicle manufacturer's warning notices by all means. Connect
the battery charging device with the mains supply first (power socket
also corresponding to the VDE provisions). Depending on the battery
you wish to charge, adjust the sliding switch from 2 V to 6 V resp. 12 V.
Subsequently connect the red clip (+) with the positive pole and the
black clip with the negative pole of the battery. Attention! Never clip
connections to the vehicle chassis. The battery must be placed in a well-
aired location while charging. The openings for recharging the battery
resp. airing (cell plugs) must be opened throughout charging (if available
and made for opening). We recommend removing non-maintenance-free
batteries from the vehicle during the charging process.
Warning notices
Danger of polarity reversal, short circuit and contact with battery
acid – pay attention to the lead battery manufacturers' warning notices
by all means. Attention! Battery acid is severely corrosive.
Immediately treat acid spilling on the skin and clothing with soap suds
and rinse with a lot of water. If acid spilling reached the eyes,
immediately rinse with a lot of water and seek medical advice.
After charging
The battery charging device must be removed from the mains supply
immediately after charging. Always pull on the plug and never the cable!
Subsequently remove the charging clips from the battery. Check the acid
condition of non-maintenance-free lead batteries. If the acid condition is
too low, fill up with distilled water. Pay attention to the battery
manufacturer's danger and safety notices.
