Operation 5
Handling the battery
– Before the charging process, inspect
the battery cable and charging cable for
damage and change if necessary.
CAUTION
Risk of component damage!
If you connect the battery male connector while the
battery charger is switched on (under load), an arc
will be produced. This can cause the contacts to
erode, which considerably shortens their service
life.
– Do not connect the battery male connector while
the battery charger is switched on.
– Ensure that the battery charger is switched off
before the battery male connector is connected.
– Attach the battery male connector to the
battery charger plug.
– Start the battery charger.
NOTE
Note the information in the operating in-
structions for the battery charger (equalising
charge).
Once the charging process is complete:
– Switch off the battery charger.
CAUTION

tery charger is switched on, an arc will be produced.

derably shortens their service life.

ging cable is disconnected.
