CHECK CHARGED BATTERY
On the basis of the specific gravity of the battery acid
can be gathered if an accumulator is fully loaded or not.
With the help of a specific gravitymeter the specific
gravity can be appointed.
Empty battery: s.g. = 1.13 kg/dm3
Full battery : s.g. = 1.28 kg/dm3
STAND BY START
The battery charger20/100 ampère is equiped with a
stand by start of 100 Amp. Put the switch at the front
of the battery charger in the FAST/START position.
Connect the charging cables with the motor vehicle
that has to be started and start the engine. If the safety
switch is turned off, the start-peak current (which can
be up to 250 Amp.) is to high.
The charging procedure will not be cut off.
So automatically keep watching the char-
ging procedure. On the basis of the LED’s
the situation can be determined.
11. MAINTENANCE
Always remove the plug from the mains
socket when the battery charger is being
serviced or cleaned. Never use any water
or other liquids when cleaning the char-
ger. Keep the cable and your battery
charger clean. Some cleaners and sol-
vents (petrol, thinner) can affect or dis-
solve plastic parts. These products con-
tain a.o. benzene, trichloroethylene,
chloride and ammonia.
The life of your battery will be considerably longer if
the following advice is taken:
-Check the liquid level of the battery every month
and, if necessary, fill it up with distilled water.
-Clean the terminals of your battery regularly to
prevent deposit. Put a little bit of vaseline on the
terminals.
-If the vehicle is seldom used, the battery will dis-
charge. Therefore it needs to be charged regularly
to maximum capacity. In this way malfunctioning
can be prevented.
12. MALFUNCTION
If your battery charger no longer functions as it should,
this may be due to the following reasons:
-The clamp has been connected wrongly. Check if
the right clamp is connected to the right terminal.
-The safety switch is switched off.
If everything has been checked, and the battery char-
ger still does not charge as it should, it needs to be
taken to your Ferm dealer for repair.
