Before each use check the conditions of the recti
fi
er, including the conditions of the power cord and the charging conductors.
Should any damage be detected, stop using the recti
fi
er. Damaged cables and conductors must be replaced with new ones in a
professional workshop.
Before any maintenance of the recti
fi
er is executed, make sure the plug of the power cord has been disconnected from power
supply socket.
The recti
fi
er must be stored away from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Also during work make sure the recti
fi
er is
placed outside the reach of unauthorised persons, particularly children.
Before connecting the terminals of the recti
fi
er, make sure the terminals of the accumulator are clean and free from corrosion.
Provide the best possible electric contact between the terminal of the accumulator and the terminal of the recti
fi
er.
Do not ever charge a frozen accumulator. Before you commence charging, move the accumulator to a place in which the electro-
lyte may totally defrost. Do not heat accumulators in order to accelerate defrosting.
Preclude any leakage from accumulators. Any leakage from the accumulator on the recti
fi
er may cause a short-circuit and thus an
electric shock, which may be dangerous for health and life.
OPERATION OF THE RECTIFIER
Preparation of the accumulator for charging
Get acquainted with the charging instructions provided along with the accumulator and observe them. In the case of the so called
„wet” acid-lead accumulators” it is necessary to check the level of electrolyte and, if required, replenish it with distilled water to
the level indicated in the documentation of the accumulator. While replenishing the level of electrolyte, observe strictly the recom-
mendations indicated in the documentation of the accumulator.

Connect the terminals of the recti
fi
er to the terminals of the accumulator, make sure the terminal of the recti
fi
er marked with a „+”
is connected to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „+” and the terminal of the recti
fi
er marked with a „-” is connected
to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „-”.
Connect the plug of the power cord to the power supply socket.
Press the switch in “ON” position to turn on the device.
During the process of charging, the value of the current sent to the terminals of the accumulator may be observed on the indicator
in the housing of the recti
fi
er.
Once the process of charging has concluded, press the switch in “OFF” position to turn off the device, disconnect the plug of the
power cord from the power supply socket, and then disconnect the accumulator from the recti
fi
er.

Using the switch marked as „6V/12V”, select the adequate nominal voltage of the accumulator to be charged.
Using the switch marked with as „ I
MIN/MAX
”, select the charging rate. The „MIN” setting provides a lower current sent to the terminals
of the recti
fi
er, and it is recommended for deeply discharged accumulators, for example those which have been stored for a long
time without charging or those whose voltage on the terminals is lower than 9 V for 12 V accumulators. This setting should be used
as a regular setting of the recti
fi
er during work. The „MAX” setting provides a high charging current, and it should be used solely
for the purpose of charging up of an accumulator, which is not deeply discharged. Make sure a higher charging current does not
cause any damage to the accumulator. In case the temperature of the accumulator being charged rises excessively, the switch
should be placed at „MIN” or the charging should be stopped.
Connect the terminals of the recti
fi
er to the terminals of the accumulator, make sure the terminal of the recti
fi
er marked with a „+”
is connected to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „+” and the terminal of the recti
fi
er marked with a „-” is connected
to the terminal of the accumulator marked with a „-”.
Connect the plug of the power cord to the power supply socket.
During the process of charging, the value of the current sent to the terminals of the accumulator may be observed on the indicator
in the housing of the recti
fi
er.
Once the process of charging has concluded, disconnect the plug of the power cord from the power supply socket, and then
disconnect the accumulator from the recti
fi
er.
