5. OPERATION
BATTERY CHARGING PREPARATIONS
N.B.: Before charging, make sure the
capacity (Ah) of the batteries to be charged
is not lower than that indicated on the rating
plate (C min).
Follow the instructions scrupulously in the
order given below.
- Remove the battery covers (if present), so
that the gas produced during charging can
exit.
- Make sure the level of electrolyte covers the
battery plates; if they are not covered, add
distilled water until they are submerged by
5-10 mm.
WARNING! BE VERY CAREFUL WHILE
CARRYING OUT THIS OPERATION BECAUSE
THE ELECTROLYTE IS AN EXTREMELY
CORROSIVE ACID.
-
Make sure the battery charger is
disconnected from the mains.
- Check the polarity of the battery terminals:
the (+) symbol is positive, the (-) symbol is
negative.
N.B. If the symbols are not clear, remember
that the positive terminal is not connected to
the vehicle chassis.
- Connect the red charging clamp to the
positive battery terminal (+ symbol).
- Connect the black clamp to the machine
chassis, at a distance from the vehicle battery
and the fuel pipe.
N.B.: if the battery is not installed inside the
vehicle, directly connect to the negative
battery terminal (symbol -).
CHARGING
- Power the battery charger by inserting the
power cable into the mains.
- Use the button seen in fig. A-1 to select the
charge current/charge voltage. The battery
charger maintains a constant charge current/
charge voltage during this phase.
END OF CHARGE
- The battery charger indicates that charging
has finished by lighting up the green “100%”
LED (fig. A-3).
- Disconnect the power supply to the battery
charger by 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.
- Close up the battery cells with the
appropriate plugs (if present).
MAINTENANCE (enabled in TRONIC or PULSE
TRONIC mode only)
- Leave the battery charger connected to the
mains.
- Do not interrupt the charge process.
- Leave the charge clamps connected to the
battery even after the charge process has
been completed.
The battery charger will automatically interrupt
and reboot the charge phase maintaining the
battery voltage within the product default
voltage range.
6. BATTERY CHARGER PROTECTIONS
The battery charger protects itself from:
- Overloads (too much current delivered
towards the battery).
- Short circuit (charging clamps set in contact
with one another).
- Polarity reversal of the battery.
- The appliance is protected against overload,
short circuits and reverse polarity by means
of internal electronic safeguards.
7. USEFUL ADVICE
- Clean the positive and negative terminals
of possible oxidation so as to ensure good
contact with the clamps.
- If the battery charger is used with a battery
which is always connected to a vehicle,
check the instruction and/or maintenance
manual of the vehicle under the paragraph:
“ELECTRIC SYSTEM” or “MAINTENANCE”.
Before charging it is advisable to disconnect
the positive cable which is part of the
electrical system of the vehicle.

MANUALE ISTRUZIONE
ATTENZIONE: PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL
CARICABATTERIE LEGGERE ATTENTAMENTE
IL MANUALE D’ ISTRUZIONE!
1. SICUREZZA GENERALE PER L’USO DI
QUESTO CARICABATTERIE
- Durante la carica le batterie emanano gas
esplosivi, evitate che si formino fiamme e
scintille. NON FUMARE.
- Posizionare le batterie in carica in un luogo
areato.
- Le persone inesperte devono essere
opportunamente istruite prima di
utilizzare l’apparecchio.
- L’apparecchio può essere utilizzato da
bambini di età non inferiore a 8 anni e
da persone con ridotte capacità fisiche,
sensoriali o mentali, o prive di esperienza
o della necessaria conoscenza, purché
sotto sorveglianza oppure dopo che
le stesse abbiano ricevuto istruzioni
relative all’uso sicuro dell’apparecchio
e alla comprensione dei pericoli ad esso
inerenti.
- I bambini non devono giocare con
l’apparecchio.
- La pulizia e la manutenzione destinata
ad essere effettuata dall’utilizzatore non
deve essere effettuata da bambini senza
sorveglianza.
- Disinserire il cavo di alimentazione dalla rete
prima di connettere o sconnettere i cavi di
carica dalla batteria.
- Non collegare ne scollegare le pinze alla
batteria con il caricabatterie funzionante.
- Non usare nel modo più assoluto il
caricabatterie all’interno di un’autovettura o
del cofano.
- Sostituire il cavo di alimentazione solo con un
