ACCU-JOGGER ACCU-JOGGER Instructions For Use
ACCU-JOGGER 6 volt + 12 volt version
Instructions for use in English
DEAR CUSTOMERS,
Thank you and congratulations on purchasing your new ACCU-JOGGER. Please read the instructions
for use completely before starting. By doing so, you will avoid errors and the need for repair.
!! IMPORTANT SAFETY INDICATIONS !!
a) The ACCU-JOGGER must only be used for the purpose described in these usage instructions!
b) Suitable only for rechargeable lead accumulators (maintenance-free as well)!
c) Not for operation in frost conditions or where there is danger of frost, as this can lead to the
formation of condensation!
d) Look after the device, keep away form oils, greases, dyes, solutions, water and all items that could
get into the casing ventilation!
e) Do not block the casing ventilation with cloths, cartons, etc!
f) In the event of visible damage, e.g. smoke, faulty cabling, infiltration by liquids or other substances
(see d), immediately detach all supply lines and send the device to your specialist dealer!
g) Always store the device in a dry place in its original packaging!
h) Risk of accumulator acid! / Risk of short-circuit / Risk of reverse polarity!
The safety indications of the manufacturer concerned must be closely observed when working with the
lead accumulator. In the event of accumulator acid coming into contact with the skin, in particular with
the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water and consult a doctor.
i) Connect only one (1) ACCU-JOGGER to each one (1) intact lead accumulator, which must be
subjected to an inspection for defects beforehand!
j) Always disconnect the device from the lead accumulator prior to starting the engine!
k) Never connect the device to the lead accumulator of a running engine!
l) Risk of electric shock from opening the ACCU-JOGGER: DO NOT open the unit, keep away from
children!
1. INTENDED USE OF THE ACCU-JOGGER
a) Voltage maintenance for rechargeable 6 volt and/or 12 volt lead accumulators (maintenance-free as
well).
b) Charging of rechargeable 6 volt and/or 12 volt lead accumulators (maintenance-free as well).
2. MODE OF OPERATION OF THE ACCU-JOGGER
The ACCU-JOGGER charges the lead accumulator with a constant current up to the maximum
permissible cell voltage. Detachment of the inspection plug is not necessary. On reaching the cell
voltage, the ACCU-JOGGER switches over from “CHARGE” to “DISCHARGE”, as a result of which
the lead accumulator is now actively discharged. The current drawn here corresponds to the energy
consumption of a small light bulb. At a defined changeover point, the charge process begins once
again, i.e. the device switches over from “DISCHARGE” to “LOAD”. In this way, the lead accumulator
is never overcharged or totally discharged. The charge status of the accumulator is constantly
monitored electronically.
The engine remains always ready-to-run even at the end of the discharge phase.
3. INSPECTING THE LEAD ACCUMULATOR BEFORE INITIATING THE ACCU-JOGGER
The lead accumulator must be intact. This you can test as follows:
a) The voltage of the lead accumulator must amount to at least 4V in the case of 6 Volt accumulators
and 8V in the case of 12 Volt accumulators.
b) The acid density should have a value greater than 1.20g/cm3.
c) The filling amount of the lead accumulator must be correct, if necessary fill up with distilled water.
Accumulator acid is highly corrosive - do not allow contact with skin or clothing!
4. CONNECTING AND INITIATING THE ACCU-JOGGER
a) Switch off all other consumers of current, such as radio, alarm system, telephone or alternatively
remove the lead accumulator. In doing so the safety indications provided by the vehicle and battery
manufacturers must be observed.
