Operation
BOMAG 47 BMP 8500
4.11 Replacing, recharging the
radio remote control power
pack
i
Note
As standard the power pack is recharged in the
machine through the spiral cable. A separate bat-
tery charger is available as an option. The re-
charging time is approx. 6 hours.
!
Danger
Operate the battery charger only in dry rooms
at temperatures of min. 0 °C to max. 40 °C!
A charged power pack is a concentrated ener-
gy source! Do not store charged power packs
in a tool box or similar, because metal parts
may cause a short circuit. Short circuits may
also be caused by keys etc. in a trouser pock-
et.
!
Caution
Change the power pack only when the sender
is switched off.
Before connecting the battery charger make
sure that the mains voltage is in accordance
with the specifications mentioned on the bat-
tery charger.
Strictly follow the operating instructions for
the battery charger.
i
Note
Ageing of the power pack reduces the discharging
capacity and therefore the operating time of the
sender.
The full discharging capacity is only reached after
several charging cycles.
i
Note
As the charging of the power pack succeeds, the
charging current drops, so that overcharging of the
power pack is almost impossible. However, if the
control is switched off for a couple of days (holi-
days, bad weather) you should also disconnect the
charging unit from the mains supply or switch off
the main battery switch.
