THIS OPERA
- Make sure the power cable is disconnected from the mains.
- With models having more than one charge voltage, turn the
deviator or selected charge voltage. If there is
no deviator or switch, suitably connect the red crocodile clip (+
symbol) to the specic battery charger
with the selected charge voltage.
- Connect the red charge clamp to the positive terminal

- Store the battery charger in a dry place.
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.
