Please take careful note that:
d) the plug of the charger cable is firmly plugged into the machine;
e) the mains plug is firmly fitted into the wall socket. Confirm that the
wall socket has electrical feed overnight and hang a notice on the
plug, saying, that during the charging period the plug, must not be
removed;
f) the battery charger will switch itself on automatically after 15
seconds.
Before leaving the machine, please check carefully, that all connections are
properly made and that the charger is switched on. Many batteries have
been damaged prematurely because something has been overlooked.
Please read the operating instructions of the type of charger in use with
you.
- Secure seating of the post terminals on the cables, that join the
batteries together.
Loose battery post terminals are dangerous because a layer builds up that
hinders the flow of electricity. When recharging the batteries, full electrical
charge cannot flow, the batteries will not become fully charged and are
therefore damaged prematurely. Should you find loose post terminals,
please do not simply tighten them, but remove them, clean the post and the
terminal inside and out, smear with battery grease and refit tightly.
- Run-in instruction
Note that brand-new batteries need a running-in period and thus can not
yet supply full power during the first 8 - 10 discharges. Therefore, the
machine should be kept off heavy duty jobs during that time.
