BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS  

 

 

 
If the asphalt hot patcher is equipped with an on-board battery charger and male 
receptacle, connect a heavy-duty UL-approved extension cord to the patcher's male  
receptacle before plugging the male end of the extension cord into a 120VAC 
building ground fault circuit interrupt outlet.  All the patcher batteries are hard-wired 
to the on-board battery charger and will be charged at the same time.     
 
If the asphalt hot patcher does not have a male receptacle that is hard-wired to an 
on-board battery charger, connect a battery charger to the battery terminals before 
plugging the male end of the battery charger's power cord into a 120 VAC building 
ground fault circuit interrupt outlet.  Perform this procedure on each of the hot 
patcher batteries making sure to unplug the extension cord from the building power 
BEFORE connecting to a battery on the equipment.
