Translated user manual (EN-V1)
BENOMIC S500
32 / 57
The horn ‘beeper’ also gives a feedback to the user if the safety status of the
BENOMIC
S500
changes. For this, see 5.3.2.
11. THE MULTI-COLOUR INDICATOR
The indicator indicates the current status of the
BENOMIC S500
, and is also a feedback
to the user if the safety status of the
BENOMIC S500
changes.
For this, see 5.3.1.
12. HYDRAULIC LIFTING OF THE TROLLEY
Pressing this button (once) will result in completely lifting
the
BENOMIC S500
or lowering it fully, after which it can be manually rotated and moved.
Attention!
- Only lift the machine on a flat surface (on the concrete floor or on the main path),
never lift it on the pipe-rail system or on a concrete floor with a slope!
- Fully lower the platform before lifting the BENOMIC S500!
- Beware of toes and feet when lowering the BENOMIC S500!
13. BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR
You can read off the status of the batteries on the battery status indicator. If all LEDs light
up, then the battery is fully charged, the battery charge is proportional to the number of
LEDs that light up. The LEDS are coloured Orange and Red. When all the Orange LEDs
are on, the batteries are charged 90 to 100%, for each Orange LED that goes out, approx.
10% battery power has been consumed. Charge the batteries if only 1-2 Orange LEDs
light up on the battery status indicator. If this area is reached during work activities, then
work can usually continue until the end of the day. When the last Orange LED starts
flashing, the battery empty status is about to come into operation, complete the work in
the harvesting path and follow the advice for battery charging given below. If an acoustic
signal repeatedly gives two bleeps and the Red LED is illuminated, the
BENOMIC S500
should be recharged immediately. The speed is automatically reduced and raising the
work platform and lifting the machine up on the lift-wheels (used for moving the machine)
is now no longer possible Switch the
BENOMIC S500
off with the main switch and charge
the battery without interruptions for at least 12 hours until the battery charger indicates full.
(consult the battery charger's user manual!)
Avoid charging before the battery status indicator indicates 50% discharge (3
–4 Orange
LEDs). Always try to equalize the approx. 20% discharge status (1
–2 Orange LEDs). This
has the following advantages:
•
Reduced number of charging cycles, improves the service life
•
Less water use
•
Less energy use
If the battery status indicator LEDs flash, then the
BENOMIC S500
is being recharged
without it being switched off using the main switch. Turn off the
BENOMIC S500
and wait
until the battery charger automatically stops charging, the batteries are then fully charged!
Regardless of the level of usage, charge the batteries at least once a month using a
suitable charger! Avoid deep discharge of the batteries, this causes severe damage
and shortens the life!
