6. END OF CHARGE
- Remove the power supply from the battery charger by turning the switch to OFF and/or removing the
power supply cable from the mains outlet.
- Disconnect the black charge clamp from the chassis of the vehicle or from the negative terminal of
the battery (- symbol).
- Disconnect the red charge clamp from the positive terminal of the battery (+ symbol).
- Store the battery charger in a dry place.
7. PROTECTION
The battery charger protects itself from:
- Overcharge (too much current supplied to the battery).
- Short-circuit (loading clips placed in contact with each other).
- Polarity inversion on the battery clamps.
WARNING!
For appliances fitted with fuses, when replaced, always use the same kind of fuse with the same rated
size. For the same reason, never ever replace the fuse with a bridge in copper or other material. The
power supply cable should always be DISCONNECTED from the mains supply while the fuse is being
changed. When replacing the ribbon fuse, if present, carefully fasten the nuts.
8. USEFUL ADVICE
- Control electrolyte level.
- If the terminals are incrusted with oxide, clean them to ensure good contacts with the clamps.
- Never ever allow the two clamps to come into contact when the battery charger is connected to the
mains. In this case the fuse will blow.
- If the battery to which this battery charger is to be connected, is permanently installed in the vehicle,
disconnect the positive cable that connects the vehicle installation.
- Check the battery voltage and the polarity.
- After operation, disconnect the charger from the power suppy, disconnect the clamps from the
battery.
- Store the battery charger in a dry and clean place.
