Charging the battery
Jump starting with a spare battery
When using spare batteries for jump starting you must always
make sure the batteries or other current sources used as
starting aids have the same voltage as the standard battery.
Do not interrupt the cables to the standard batteries!
– Connect the plus cable from the spare battery with the plus pole
on the discharged battery. Then connect the second cable from
the minus pole on the spare battery with ground.
– Start the engine.
– Once the engine starts disconnect the cable between ground
and minus pole on the spare battery and then the cable
between the plus poles.
ATTENTION!
During the charging process oxyhydrogen will develop
inside the battery. A short circuit, an open flame or sparks
in the vicinity of the battery can cause an explosion. The
charging current must always be interrupted before remov-
ing the charging clamps. An excellent ventilation must be
ensured, especially when recharging the battery in a closed
room.
The battery electrolyte contains caustic sulphuric acid. If
this comes in contact with your skin rinse it off with soap
and lots of water. If acid has come in contact with your eyes
or other sensitive parts of your body rinse off with lots of
water and seek medical advice.
ATTENTION!
When connecting a fully charged battery to an almost dis-
charged battery there is a risk that the batteries may
explode.
