6.2 USING THE ADAPTER CHARGING CABLE
The adapter charging cable with pole callipers (Position F in the overview) is used if you wish to connect the charger
in the classic way to the poles of the battery. The adapter charging cable with eyes (Position E in the overview)
is designed to remain firmly attached to a battery which is difficult to access. The charger can be conveniently
connected using the adapter.
6.3 PREPARATION
Clean the battery poles to remove dust and corrosion residue.
Only for open batteries:
Remove the plugs of the battery cells. Check the liquid level in the cells, consult the ope-
rating instructions of your battery for more information. Replenish only sufficient distilled water to ensure that the
minimum filling level is achieved. The liquid will expand during the charging process and the battery may overflow.
