BATTERY CHARGING
The QuicKART 2000 is powered by three, 12-volt, Deep Cycle batteries. Under normal
usage they will power the QuicKART for 10 or more hours, when the ambient
temperatures are above approximately 40 degrees F. Colder temperatures will reduce
the operating time of the batteries and increase the charging time. To optimize battery
power, store the QuicKART in a room with a temperature of at least 50 degrees F.
To recharge the batteries, park the QuicKART in a well-ventilated location near an
electrical outlet. The QuicKART must be turned off and the key removed.
FIRST, plug the 10-foot extension cord into the connector located at the lower left rear
of the QuicKART.
Use special care to ensure the extension cord is properly seated
inside the connector. Failure to do so can cause improper charging or damage to
the battery charger.
SECOND, connect the charger's 10-foot power extension cord into a wall receptacle.
The battery charger will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged. This
takes between eight to ten hours, depending upon initial state of charge and battery
condition.
Make sure the power to the wall receptacle is not turned off during the
nightly recharging time.
To put the QuicKART back into service, after the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger's power extension cord from the wall receptacle and from the lower
receptacle at the lower left rear of the QuicKART. Store the extension cord in an
appropriate location.
Lights on the battery charger show the charging rate. Fully discharged batteries will
result in a charging rate of up to 15 amperes. As the batteries become fully charged
this rate will drop to less than 10 amperes. A solid yellow light indicates maximum
charge, a yellow and flashing green indicate partial charge completion. A green light
indicates completion of charge. The red light indicates AC power is connected and on.
WARNING
Do not use long extension cords. Use the 10-foot cord supplied with the
machine. Find a location for re-charging that is close to an electrical outlet
receptacle. If another cord must be used, it must be 16 gauge or larger and no
longer than 10 feet in length.
