5. Preparation
Always check the condition of the cables and clamps before using the battery charger. Do not
use when damage is noticed!
1. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle before charging. To do this, first remove the
negative pole connection, and then proceed with the positive pole connection.
2. Clean the poles with a steel brush or sandpaper.
3. Open the filler caps and check the level of the battery acid. When necessary, add distilled
water (liquid level must be ± 1 cm below fill opening).
Note: battery acid is corrosive; avoid contact with skins or clothing. Any spills should be
washed off immediately with plenty of water. Consult a doctor when necessary.
4. Open all filler caps and leave them open during charging, unless the battery has special
safety features built-in (e.g. spark arrestor). Refer to the data sheet of the battery or
consult a specialist to find out.
5. Make sure the battery charger is not connected to the mains [10].
6. Verify whether the battery is a 12 V or 24 V type. Connect the negative (red) lead with the
appropriate terminal: +12 V [9] for 12 V batteries, +24 V [8] for 24 V batteries. The
terminal knob must be screwed tightly on the terminal.
7. Connect the positive clamp of the battery charger (red) with the positive pole (+) of the
battery. Make sure the clamp is secured tight.
8. Connect the negative clamp of the battery charger (black) with the negative pole (-) of the
battery. Make sure the clamp is secured tight.
9. Plug the battery charger into a suitable mains outlet.
