2.

 

Blue connector between charger and batteries. 

3.

 

Screw terminals in back of charger, positive and negative.  

4.

 

Red plug between batteries and PLC plate. 

5.

 

Terminal junction block on back of PLC plate. 

6.

 

Terminal junction block, jumpers. 

7.

 

E-Stop. 

 

Machine will not run.  Check for the following: 

1.

 

Bad fuse. 

2.

 

Loose battery connection.  Check all connections. 

3.

 

Dead battery. 

 

Machine runs but the number of lanes have been reduced or are reducing. 
Any time this occurs the charging voltage should be monitored daily to determine if the 

charger is working 100% of the time.   

1.

 

The charger voltage is incorrect.   

2.

 

Charger operates intermittently.  Battery charger has internal bad connection. 

3.

 

Vacuum is drawing more amps. 

4.

 

Machine run times are longer.  

5.

 

Possible bad connection between charger and batteries. 

6.

 

Possible battery problem.  

 

Batteries are not charging.  Check for the following when the charger shows no output 
voltage. 

1.

 

Charger has failed. 

2.

 

Blown fuse inside of charger. 

3.

 

Open or very bad connection between charger and batteries. 

 
CVR not working, Check for the following:
