Never leave the rectifi er connected to the power supply network. Always remove the plug of
the power cord from the power supply socket.
Observe the polarity indications of the rectifi er and the accumulator.
Before you commence charging the accumulator, get acquainted with the charging instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer of the accumulator and observe them.
The accumulator and the rectifi er must be always placed on an even, fl at and hard surface.
Do not incline the accumulator.
Before you connect the plug of the power cord of the rectifi er, make sure the power supply
network parameters of the power supply network correspond to the parameters indicated in
the rating plate of the rectifi er.
The rectifi er must be placed as far from the accumulator as it is permitted by the cables
with terminals. Do not overstretch the cables. Do not place the rectifi er on the accumulator
being charged or directly above it. The fumes generated while charging the accumulator
may cause corrosion of the internal components of the rectifi er, which may in turn cause its
damage.
Do not smoke or approach accumulators with an open fl ame.
Do not ever touch the terminals of the rectifi er, when it is connected to the power supply
network.
Do not ever start the engine while charging the accumulator.
Before each use check the conditions of the rectifi er, including the conditions of the power
cord and the charging conductors. Should any damage be detected, stop using the rectifi er.
Damaged cables and conductors must be replaced with new ones in a professional work-
shop.
Before any maintenance of the rectifi er is executed, make sure the plug of the power cord
has been disconnected from power supply socket.
The rectifi er must be stored away from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Also dur-
ing work make sure the rectifi er is placed outside the reach of unauthorised persons, par-
ticularly children.
Before connecting the terminals of the rectifi er, make sure the terminals of the accumulator
are clean and free from corrosion. Provide the best possible electric contact between the
terminal of the accumulator and the terminal of the rectifi er.
Do not ever charge a frozen accumulator. Before you commence charging, move the accu-
mulator to a place in which the electrolyte may totally defrost. Do not heat accumulators in
order to accelerate defrosting.
Preclude any leakage from accumulators. Any leakage from the accumulator on the rectifi er
may cause a short-circuit and thus an electric shock, which may be dangerous for health
and life.
CAR BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION
Preparing the battery for charging
Read and observe the charging instructions provided with the battery. In the case of lead-acid batteries, the so-called "wet cell
batteries", check the electrolyte level and possibly top up with distilled water to the level specifi ed in the battery documentation.
When topping up the electrolyte level, strictly follow the recommendations in the battery documentation.
