Maintenance
Charging
● Always remove the battery from the machine before charging it. Failure to do
this will cause damage to electrical components and to the wiring.
● When connecting cables to the battery, use the correct (+) and (-) terminals.
Reversing connections will blow the fuse and prevent charging.
● For safety, always disconnect the (-) terminal first, and connect the (+) terminal
first. Disconnecting or connecting in the opposite order may cause a short
circuit.
● When reinstalling the battery, connect the (+) and (-) to their original positions.
Avoid contact between terminals and other surrounding parts.
The rapid charging method is a method of charging with a large current in
a short time to partially compensate for battery discharge. This method is
used in emergencies. After completing operations, perform compensation
charging quickly and correctly. If compensation charging is not performed,
the battery life will be greatly reduced.
1. Remove the battery.
2. Charge the battery according to the instructions
given in the operation manual for the charger.
