Note

The maximum charging capacity of the

safety circuit that is used must be observed.

If the charging cable is planned into an

electrical socket on the same circuit as oth-

WARNING

CAUTION

Using a charging cable that has been dam-

aged or tampered with can cause serious

injury and fatal electric shocks.

The charging cable, as portable electrical

equipment, may have to be checked peri-

odically. This requires a test adapter.

●

Before each use check that the connec-

tors and the charging cable are undam-

aged, e.g. check for cracks.

CAUTION

The charging cable can be damaged if not

cleaned properly.

WARNING

Charging cable information

Charging the high-voltage battery with an

inappropriate charging cable could cause

short circuits, serious injuries and fatal

electrical shocks.

Before using the charging cable, also follow

the instructions displayed on it and on the

rear of the protective device.

CAUTION

Self-check

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and

indications when using the charging sta-

tion.

When the charging cable is plugged into the

electrical socket, the protective device auto-

matically performs a self-test. During this

check, all warning and indicator lamps turn

on briefly and go out one after the other.

Upon completion, the operational status at

that time is displayed.

Note

Charging with a 16 A charging cable is not

possible in some charging stations that

support 32 A. This depends on the features

of the charging station.
