Warning
Risk of injury Battery acid and battery gases cause
serious chemical burns.
– Keep 12 V batteries out of the reach of children.
– Wear suitable protective clothing and safety
glasses.
– Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
– Keep sparks or open flames away from the 12 V
battery.
– Only charge 12 V batteries in well-ventilated
rooms.
– Rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of
water in the event of contact with the skin.

consult a doctor immediately if battery acid and
battery gases get into the eyes.
– Connect a battery charger to the 12-V battery. Switch on the

Battery charger (58429074000)
You can also use the battery charger to test the open-circuit
voltage and starting ability of the 12-V battery, and to test the
alternator. In addition, you cannot overcharge the 12-V battery
with this device.
Info
If the charging current, charging voltage and charg-
ing time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the
safety valves. This reduces the capacity of the 12-V
battery.
If the 12-V battery is left in a discharged state for an
extended period, it will become deeply discharged and
sulfating occurs, destroying the battery.
The 12-V battery is maintenance-free. The acid level
does not have to be checked.
Never remove cover
