Manual

4. USE

4.1 If the battery is not removed from the machine, make sure

that the key on the control panel is in the “OFF” position. Connect

the battery charger to the mains power supply and then attach the

connector (2):

– to the corresponding connector of the machine’s wiring (if t-

ted)

– or otherwise to the wire (3) with the serrated-edge grips,

attaching these to the terminals of the battery in the following

sequence:

1 - rst the red grip to the positive terminal (+)

2 - and then the black grip to the negative terminal (–).

4.2 The LED lights (4 – 5 – 6) show the type of functioning:

4 – Green = Battery charger live

5 – Yellow = Charging at 14.7 Volts

6 – Yellow = Maintenance charge at 13.6 Volts

Whether they are lit ( ) or o ( ) signals:

1 SAFETY RULES

1.1 This battery charger must only be used for keeping

charged12 Volt lead/acid batteries, either sealed (acid level main-

tenance free) or traditional, with a maximum capacity of 24 Ah. In

exceptional cases, it can also be used for emergency charging.

1.2 Connect the battery charger to a power outlet which has the

same voltage and frequency as that shown on the plate. The

socket used must be ecient and safe.

1.3 If extension cables are used, these must have plugs comply-

ing with laws. Place the battery charger in a stable, dry and clean

location, and prevent both the battery charger and the cable from

coming into contact with water or dirt.

1.4 Carry out the recharging operation at ambient temperature

between 0° and 38°C, strictly complying with the recommen-

dations shown in the instructions for using the battery and the

machine in which it is tted.

1.5 Do not use the battery charger if damaged, or in case of dubt

about its eciency after being knocked or a fall.

1.6 Do not dismantle the battery charger or alter its character-

istics.

2. SUPPLY

2.1 The battery charger (1) comes with:

– a two-core cable with a connector (2) for connecting to the wir-

ing of machines that include this possibility;

– a two-pole wire (3) with serrated-edge grips.

3. CHARACTERISTICS AND METHODS FOR USE

3.1 The battery charger has been specically developed to keep

up sealed batteries, maintaining the charge during periods of

inactivity. Used regularly, it will assure longer life and eciency

to the battery, preventing it from being damaged by deep dis-

charging over extended periods.

By way of exception, it can also restore at batteries to a reason-

able charge level.

3.2 When it is connected, the battery charger supplies current

at a constant 14.7 Volts. After 46-48 hours, a built-in timer will

switch the voltage from 14.7 to 13.6 V which will assure the main-

tenance of the charge until such time as the battery charger is

disconnected.

3.3 If the machine is only occasionally used, the battery can be

charged before and after each use, or otherwise it can even be

left charging for some months between one use and another.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

to be carefully read before using the apparatus

Do not dispose of electric equipment together with household waste mate-

rial! In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste electrical

and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with

national law, electric equipment that have reached the end of their life must be

collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling

facility. For further information on the disposal of this product, contact your dealer

or a domestic waste collection service.

4.3 The battery charger has a thermal protection device against

overcharging, also protecting from short circuits and reversal of

terminals. In addition, if unconnected to the battery, the connector

or the grips will not be live.

If the thermal protection has cut in, the power supply is stopped,

restarting automatically after about 30 seconds. An increase in

temperature both when recharging and when maintaining the

charge is a normal operating condition.

4.4 To disconnect the battery charger, reverse the order of the

operations given at point 4.1.

After use, do not leave the battery charger disconnected from the

mains supply and connected to the battery to prevent the battery

from discharging.
