2- CONNECTING AND
DISCONNECTING THE VEHICLE
•
Before connecting the vehicle, make sure that the charging cable and connector are in
perfect condition and show no visible damage.
•
Connect the vehicle to the charger, making sure that the connector is fully inserted into the
socket. This will guarantee good connection of the conductor elements; it will also prevent
overheating and other errors.
•
If the charger doesn't have a built-in charger cable, you must always use a cable compatible
with the charger and vehicle charging points (if you have any doubts as to which charging
cable you need, ask your installer or vehicle vendor). In this case you can start by first of
all connecting or disconnecting the cable from the vehicle followed by the charger, or vice
versa.
•
Never use the charging cable with adapters or extension cables, as doing so could give
rise to dangerous situations.
•
Most electric vehicles lock the charging cable while they are connected to a charger, or
at least while they are charging. Don't use force to disconnect the vehicle while charging
as doing so could be dangerous. Always make sure that the vehicle is no longer charging
before trying to remove the charging cable; if you don't know how to unlock the cable,
consult the vehicle manual.
•
When you disconnect the charging cable, always put it away correctly and protect the
connector (if you have a charger with a built-in cable, use the connector support supplied
with the device).
