With fully charged batteries, the specific mass (SM) should be 1280 g/l:
Switch off the
pipe-rail trolley
, at the main switch, before
charging. When about to charge, always first connect
the batteries to the charger, and afterwards switch on
the charger. When charging is complete, first switch off
the charger, then disconnect the battery.
Charging the batteries ‘too much’ can cause damage to
the batteries because the battery fluid will boil for a
longer period of time.
The use of a modern battery charger with automatic
cut-off, available from Berg Hortimotive, is
recommended.
Only use a charger that is suitable
for the batteries used! (see charger instructions)
Never interrupt charging, completely finish charging,
see indication on charger.
WARNING! Danger of injury with the batteries:
Avoid the battery fluid (electrolyte) coming into contact with skin, wear safety goggles and
gloves as battery acid is highly corrosive. Wash with soap and water if contact is made. If
it comes into contact with the eyes, immediately rinse in running water for a period of at
least five minutes and call for medical assistance. Always ensure there is sufficient soap
and water in the vicinity and that assistance is within calling distance when people have to
work near batteries. Avoid short circuits (sparks), and ensure that there is no electrical
connection between the battery poles. The battery cover must be free of damage. Bare
patches or dents can cause short circuits!
Explosive gas is released when the batteries are being charged. Keep sparks, naked
flames or cigarettes away from batteries.
Do not repair, clean or carry out other activities on the pipe-rail trolley while charging.
Before uninstalling the batteries, always switch off all current consumption items, to avoid
sparks.
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.
Remove all personal objects including rings, bracelets, necklaces and wristwatches when
working in the vicinity of batteries, because, for example, a short circuit could melt a ring
resulting in serious burns.
When dismounting the battery, first disconnect the ground cable (-). When mounting,
connect the ground cable (black) last of all.
WARNING!
Always connect the plus (+ = red) to the plus terminal and minus (- = blue) to the
negative terminal.
