Checking the battery charge condition
☞
Check the battery charge condition as follows:
•
Park the machine on level ground
•
Switch off the engine
•
Open the engine cover
After removing the battery caps:
•
Measure the specific gravity with the hydrometer
Instructions for recharging the battery
•
Avoid sparks and short circuits
•
Remove the battery for recharging. If the battery must recharged in the machine,
always disconnect the battery leads under all circumstances
•
Unscrew the battery caps (Exception: Closed batteries)
•
Switch off the battery charger before connecting the battery!
•
Charge batteries with direct current only. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the
battery to the positive (+) terminal of the battery recharger, and the negative (–)
terminal of the battery with the negative (–) terminal of the battery charger
•
Recommended charging current: one tenth of the amp hour capacity (e.g., 80 Ah = 8 A
charging current)
•
Charge closed batteries with regulated battery chargers only
•
Make sure acid temperature does not exceed 120 °F (55 °C)during recharging. Stop
recharging the battery if the temperature rises any further.
The battery is fully charged if specific gravityand charging voltage do not rise any
further within 2 hours
•
Recharging closed batteries takes at least 12 to 16 hours, and is not completed unless
off-load voltage is
≥
12.8 V several hours after recharging
•
Check the acid level after recharging and if necessary, fill up with demineralized or
distilled water up to the maximum acid level mark or 0.6 inch (15 mm) above the battery
plates. Never fill up with acid!
•
Do not open closed batteries. Never add water
Instructions for temporary storage of the machine
•
Ensure full battery charge (see above)
•
If the battery remains in the machine, disconnect the negative (–) terminal
•
Check the battery charge condition at regular intervals (see above)
Drive electronics
•
Remove the main plug when carrying out welding work, etc.
