CHARGING PROCEDURES
IMPORTANT
•
Before you attempt charging, ensure you read and understand the instruction manual supplied
with the Battery Charger.
To charge Batteries:
•
Ensure power is switched off on the joystick control box.
•
Check that the ventilation slots on the charger are clean and unobstructed.
•
Plug the charger output lead into the socket on the joystick control box.
•
Connect the charger power supply cable to the mains socket and switch the power on. The
red “Mains ON” and the yellow “Charging” lights on the charger will come on.
•
It is recommended the charger is left connected as described until the green full charge light
illuminates to obtain optimum performance of the batteries.
•
When the green “Charge Complete” light illuminates, the batteries are fully charged and ready
for use.
NOTE
An "Overvoltage" condition may occur temporarily while you are descending a steep gradient with
fully charged batteries, when the motors virtually have the effect of a dynamo, adding to the
batteries.
