from the battery and the petrol pipe.
•
After the battery has been connected to the
charger, you can connect the charger to a
socket (see Technical Data). All the LEDs will
flash for a short time. Then the LED (Fig. 2/
Item E) will shine continuously as soon as the
charging status of the battery is indicated. You
can now change the charging settings (see
section 5.2). LEDs Fig. 2/Item A-D will blink in
succession until the battery is fully charged
(provided it is not defective). When the battery
is fully charged, the LEDs A-D will be lit con-
tinuously.
•
If only the LED flashes (Fig. 2/Item E), this
means that although the charger is connec-
ted to the socket, it is not connected to the
battery.
•
Important! Charging may create dangerous
explosive gas and therefore you should avoid
spark formation and naked flames whilst the
battery is charging. There is a risk of explosi-
on! It is essential that you ventilate the rooms
well.
•
If the charger shows "Battery fully charged"
after just a few minutes, this indicates that
the battery capacity is low. The battery needs
replacing.
Calculating the charging time (Fig. 3)
The charging time depends on the charge status
of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged,
the approximate charging time up to approx. 80%
charged can be calculated using the following
formula:
Battery capacity in Ah
Charging time/h =
Amp. (charging current)
The charging current should be 1/10 to 1/6 of the
battery capacity.
5.4 Error LED (Fig. 2 / Item H)
The error LED will fl ash (light up) in the following
cases:
•
If the voltage of the battery is less than 3.5
V or more than 15 V. The battery is either un-
suitable for charging or is defective. It is also
possible that other battery errors or faults can
mean that the battery cannot be charged.
•
If the terminal clamps are connected to the
battery terminals with the wrong polarity. The
protection against swapped poles ensures
that the battery and charger do not get da-
maged. Remove the charger from the battery

GB
and start the charging process from the be-
ginning again.
•
If there is a short-circuit between the two ter-
minal clamps (the metal parts of the clamps
come into contact with each other). The pro-
tection against short-circuits ensures that the
battery and charger do not get damaged.
5.5 Finishing charging the battery
•
Pull the plug out of the socket.
•
First disconnect the black charging cable
from the bodywork.
•
Then release the red charging cable from the
positive pole on the battery.
•
Important! In case of positive earthing, first
disconnect the red charging cable from the
bodywork and then the black charging cable
from the battery.
•
Screw or push the battery stoppers back into
position (if there are any).
Important! If the mains plug is pulled out but the
charger cables are still connected to the battery,
the charger will draw off a small amount of elec-
tricity from the battery. We therefore recommend
that you always completely remove the charger
from the battery when not in use.

6. Overload cut-out

The charger is equipped with electronic protec-
tion against overload, short circuit and swapped
poles. One or more fi ne fuses are also fi tted. If the
fuse suff ers a defect it must be replaced by a new
fuse with the same amp value. If necessary, ple-
ase contact our customer service center.
7. Maintenance and care of the
battery
•
Ensure that your battery is always fitted se-
curely.
•
A perfect connection to the cable network of
the electrical system must be ensured at all
times.
•
Keep the battery clean and dry. Apply a thin
coating of grease to the connection terminals
using an acid-free, acid-resistant grease
(Vaseline).
•
Check the level of the acid in batteries that
are not maintenance-free versions approxi-
mately every 4 weeks and top up with distilled
