4. GETTING READY
- Before charging, make sure the capacity of the battery (Ah) corresponds to the range given on the
rating plate.
- Remove tha caps of the battery (if present) to let the fumes out.
- Check that the level of electrolyte covers the plates of the battery. You can add distilled water
following marks on the battery. The most accurate to test the state of charge of a battery is to
determine the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte. The higher gravity, the higher charge.
Please see reference value (kg/l at 20
C):
1.28 = battery fully charged
1.21 = half-charged battery
1.14 = discharged battery
WARNING!
USE THE MAXIMUM CAUTION DURING THIS OPERATION, AS ELECTROLYTE IS A HIGHLY
CORROSIVE ACID.
5. PANEL
B - Switch
– charging current/boost
C - Switch - charging (upper pos.) / starting (lower pos.)
D
– Main switch (ON/OFF)
6. CHARGING
Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery (+ symbol). If the symbols are
indistinguishable, remember that the positive terminal is the one not connected to the vehicle chassis.
- Connect the black charge clamp to the negative terminal of the battery (- symbol). Connect the power
supply.
The ammeter will show charging current. You may notice the indicator goes down to reach low values,
depending on the type of battery.
Once the
WET battery is being charged, you may note the liquid inside starting to “boil”. It is
recommended to stop charging to prevent damage of the battery.
6.1 REGULAR CHARGING (three stage)
- Select charging voltage and assemble the cable to 12V or 24V socket.
- Select charging mode switch
"C” in „charging” position (upper).
- Select charging mode switch "B" in MIN. pos.
- Adjust main switch
‘’D” in ON pos and start charging.
