Operation
Make sure that you are familiar with the
BENOMIC S500
and its controls. Make sure that
the person operating the
BENOMIC S500
has received instructions regarding the pipe-rail
trolley and its safety precautions, and has read and understood this manual.
- The
BENOMIC S500
may only be operated if one is sure that no one is in the immediate
vicinity of the pipe-rail trolley.
- Before use, remove crop remains and other waste or obstacles from the pipe-rail
system.
- Keep the
BENOMIC S500
clean, and regularly remove dirt accumulations. To clean the
vehicle, turn it off by removing the key from the ignition.
- After using the
BENOMIC S500
, remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Maintain the
BENOMIC S500
regularly and place it in a dry, frost-free place if it is not
used for a longer period.
Charge the batteries if only 1-2 orange LEDs illuminate on the battery status
indicator. If this level is reached during work activities, you can usually continue
until the end of the day. If an acoustic signal repeatedly gives two beeps, the
BENOMIC S500 should be recharged immediately. Charging must not be
interrupted until the charge indicator shows that it is fully charged, after
approximately 12 hours. (See the battery charger manual for this). Brief charging
during coffee and lunch breaks must be avoided as this can cause serious damage
to the batteries. Charging too soon (when the battery status indicator has more
than three orange LEDs) will result in a shorter battery lifespan because the
batteries wear with each charging cycle, avoid unnecessary charging!
Explosive gas is released when the batteries are being charged. Keep sparks,
naked flames or cigarettes away from batteries. Ensure that the place where
batteries are charged and/or stored is well ventilated. Ensure that no metal objects
can fall on the batteries as this could cause short circuits or sparks which in their
turn could lead to an explosion.
