9. Preparation, connection and operation

Important! Connecting batteries incorrectly, short-circuiting batteries and improper
handling of the battery and charger are potential sources of danger. Make sure that all
preparations are made properly.
• Every time you use your charger, first check that its cables are not damaged.
Never start using the device if the protective insulation on the charging cable is
damaged (crushed, torn, sheared off etc.).
• Before charging, check whether the battery for charging is a 12 V battery.
• Explosive gases may accumulate near to the floor. Position the charger as high
as possible and never any closer to the floor than necessary. Do not position it
directly on or in the direct vicinity of the battery. During the charging process,
make sure that the room is sufficiently ventilated.
• If you are working with batteries which are not maintenance-free, it is
recommended that the battery be removed from the vehicle, as emitted battery
acid mist may otherwise damage the vehicle, for instance. Adhere to the
manufacturer specifications on removal of the battery.
• Open the caps on the individual cells of batteries which are not maintenance-free
before charging (we recommend cleaning the surface of the battery beforehand
to prevent dirt from getting into the battery). Allow the battery housing to air for
approximately 2 minutes so that any flammable gases can evaporate.
• The acid level must be checked on lead batteries that are not maintenance-free.
If the acid level is too low, top up with deionised water until the level reaches the
respective filling mark. Leave the cells open during the entire charging process so
that any emitted gases can escape.
