We recommend recharging the battery slowly for
approximately 24 hours at low amperage. Rapid battery
charging with high currents could damage the battery.
To charge, proceed as follows:
❒ proceed as follows: detach the connector A-fig. 162 (by
pressing button B) from sensor C for monitoring the
status of the battery installed on the negative battery
pole D;
❒ connect the positive cable to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative terminal to the sensor D
as shown in the figure;
❒ turn on the charger. Turn the device off after
recharging;
❒ after having disconnected the recharging device,
reconnect the connector A to the sensor C as shown
in the figure.
