THIS OPERA
- Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the mains.
- With models having more than one charge voltage, turn the
deviator or the switch to the selected charge voltage. If is
no deviator or switch, suitably connect the red crocodile clip (+

with the selected charge voltage.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal of the battery

The battery charger protects itself from:
- Overcharge (too much current supplied to the battery).
- Short-circuit (loading clips placed in contact with each other).
- Polarity inversion on the battery clamps.
For appliances tted with fuses, if the fuses have to be replaced
always use the same kind of fuse with the same rated size.
