BATTERY CHARGING
NOTE
Charge the battery when only one LED of the battery symbol (45) is flashing, or at the end of each shift.
Keeping the batteries charged make their life last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes their life shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Charge the
batteries in well-ventilated areas and away from naked flames.
Do not smoke while charging the batteries.
Keep the recovery tank lifted until the battery charging cycle is over.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging lead batteries (WET) as there may be battery fluid leakages. The battery
fluid is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
1. Drive the machine to the appointed recharging area.
2.
Ensure that the machine is off and the ignition key (41) has been removed.
3. Lift the cover (34) and check that the recovery tank (33) is empty; if not, empty it using the drain hose (12).
4. Close the cover (19).
5. Grasp the handle (16) and carefully lift the tank (33).
6. For WET batteries only:
• Check the level of electrolyte inside the batteries (36). If necessary, unscrew the caps and top up.
• When the correct level is restored, close the caps and clean the tops of the batteries.
7. Connect the battery charger cable (5) to the electrical mains. Electrical mains voltage and frequency must be compatible with
the battery charger values shown on the machine serial number plate (3).
NOTE
When the battery charger is connected to the electrical mains, all machine functions are automatically cut off.
8. If the red LED on the battery charger inspection window (51) stays on, the battery charger is charging the batteries.
9. When the yellow warning light turns on, the battery charging cycle is nearly completed.
10. When the green warning light turns on, the battery charging is completed.
11. When the battery charging is completed, disconnect the battery charger cable (6) from the electrical mains and wind it round
its housing (6).
12. Grasp the handle (16) and carefully lower the tank (33).
NOTE
For further information about the battery charger (4) operation, see the relevant Manual.
