CAUTION! To avoid electrical danger,
the charger should be connected to a
mains supply with good earthing and
may not be subjected to rain or snow.
Any damaged cables must be
immediately replaced by a qualified
specialist.
Defective batteries
• Damaged batteries which do not retain their
charge.
It is often the case that batteries which
are in very bad condition can no longer be
charged; they need to be replaced because
they do not retain their charge.
• Short circuited batteries.
If, after several hours the battery charger
still does not indicate that the battery is
being charged, this usually means that
one of the elements is short circuited. The
battery needs to be replaced.
Malfunction
If your battery charger no longer functions
as it should, this may be due to the following
reasons:
• The clamp has been connected wrongly.
Check if the right clamp is connected to the
right terminal.
Battery life
The life of your battery will be considerably
longer if the following advice is taken:
• Check the liquid level of the battery every
month and, if necessary, fill it up with
distilled water.
• Clean the terminals of your battery regularly
to prevent deposit. Put a little bit of vaseline
on the terminals.
• If the vehicle is seldom used, the battery will
discharge. Therefore it needs to be charged
regularly to maximum capacity. In this way
malfunctioning can be prevented.
If everything has been checked, and the battery
charger still does not charge as it should, it
needs to be taken to the Service address on the
warranty card.

appliance is delivered in a solid packaging
