Other Guidelines
•
Never work under an elevated platform until maintenance locks have been engaged.
•
Remove all rings, watches, and jewelry when performing any maintenance.
•
Do not wear long hair unrestrained or loose fitting clothing and neckties which may become caught on or
entangled in equipment.
•
Observe and obey all warnings and cautions on machine and in manual.
•
Keep oil, grease, water, etc. wiped from standing surfaces and handholds.
•
Before making any adjustments, lubricating or performing any other maintenance, shut off all power controls.
•
Battery should always be disconnected during replacement of electrical components.
•
Keep all support equipment and attachments stowed in their proper place.
•
Use only approved nonflammable cleaning solvents.
•
After maintenance, inspect the machine as described for Pre-delivery.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE LISTED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN MACHINE
DAMAGE, PERSONNEL INJURY, OR DEATH.
2.1 | BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Battery cycle life will vary significantly depending on the depth of discharge. The deeper the depth of discharge the
fewer cycles a battery will deliver. Conversely, the shallower the depth of discharge the more cycles a battery will
deliver. To optimize the health of your battery, limit discharge to 80%.
The performance and life of a battery will vary with application, usage, temperature and depth of discharge. AGM
batteries tend to deliver higher than their rated capacity (up to 10-15% higher) for -30 cycles until they are “broken
in” and settle at their rated capacity.
Operating batteries above 27°C will yield run times above the rated capacity and operating batteries below 27°C
will yield run times below the rated capacity. Cold temperatures can significantly reduce battery capacity. Although
higher temperatures increase the battery capacity they also accelerate corrosion and reduce overall battery life.
2.2 | CHARGING THE BATTERY
This unit is equipped with a deep cycle 12-volt AGM maintenance-free battery
Batteries should be fully charged after each use. Opportunity charging can be done but the batteries should be fully
charged at least every other day if they are used daily. Charge in a ventilated area as gases may be released through
the pressure relief valve if the batteries are excessively over-charged.
NOTE: The surrounding temperature greatly affects the power reserve within a battery.
EXAMPLE: A battery that is 100% charged at 27°C drops to 65% at 0°C At -18°C, this battery will drop to 40%
efficiency.
To Charge:
•
Park the machine on a level surface.
•
Plug charger into AC outlet until charged.
•
For best battery life, leave charger plugged in until machine will be used again. The charger will maintain the
battery charge
