Maintenance and Care
7.4.1
Charge Batteries
Connect the charger to the battery
connector (Fig. 11/3) Charging
batteries is recommended if at least one
bar of the battery gauge has
extinguished after operation of the
machine. Observe the operating
instructions of the charger as well as
the operating instructions of the battery
manufacturer. In case it is intended to
change the type of battery the charger
has to be adjusted only by Minuteman
contract workshops.
Be sure to use the correct
battery charger per battery
type.
