Warning!
• Use precaution when mounting the
battery, as batteries contain acid liquids
which can cause severe injuries and
damage when handled incorrectly. Refer
to the instructions on the battery.
• No smoking is allowed in the area of the
Battery Box!
• Please note that the CE socket has a
max of 16 amp.
• The Thetford Battery Box is designed for
use with foot mounted batteries. These
are recognisable by the rim around the
bottom edge of the battery. This rim
will locate against the back wall of the
Battery Box and the angle metal bracket,
which is screwed into place when the
battery is fitted. The depth of the battery
including rim should be between 173mm
and 175mm.
• This product meets the latest version of the
EN 1648 part 1 and 2 standard.
Before placing the battery inside the Battery
Box, the battery should be placed into the
Soft Tray and rested on the ground adjacent
to the Battery Box. Carefully connect the
electrical wires (the red cable attaches to the
+ pole and the black cable to the - pole of
the battery).
Note! Incorrect connection of the cables
will cause a short circuit with potential
hazardous consequences.
After mounting the terminals, lift the battery
together with the Soft Tray into the middle of
the Battery Box compartment. Push the Soft
Tray with battery to the back of the Battery Box,
into the safeguard bulge. If necessary shift the
Soft Tray to the right or left until the battery is in
place in the safety area (see photo 1).
The battery is located in the compartment
by the manual clamping plate. This has to
be screwed to the front of the box (screw is
enclosed in package).
Please ensure that the Soft Tray is pulled up
tightly (to remove creases) before the plate
is tightened. The rounded edge of the clamp
prevents damage to the Soft Tray. Do not apply
extreme force to the screw.
When disassembling, follow this procedure
in reversed order. Note! Always check the
Soft Tray for acid first! If found, take safety
precautions (such as protecting clothing, body
and especially the eyes). In case of contact with
acid, immediately rinse with plenty of water.
Follow regulations concerning these chemicals.
Tip! Generally, car workshop employees are
familiar with this matter.
When attaching the 220/230 volts cable on
the CE socket, the maximum recommended
thickness of the cable is 10 mm. When closing
the door, the attached cable is to be fed
through the slot at the bottom right of the door.
