Installing the Batteries
WARNING !
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin
or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited
by any electrical arc, spark or flame.
When Servicing Batteries...
*
Remove all jewelry
*
Do not smoke
*
Wear safety glasses
*
Work in a well-ventilated area
*
Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
CAUTION !
Electrical components in the machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries
should be installed on delivery of your machine, by Nilfisk or by a qualified electrician.
1
When fitting or replacing the batteries from their shipping crate, carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident,
contact the transport company that delivered them or the battery manufacturer to file a damage claim.
2
Make sure the machine’s Master Switch
(11)
is in the OFF position.
3
Remove the battery cables from inside the tank and tip both tanks to the side of the machine.
4
Carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown.
5
The terminals on the battery cables are marked “P” for positive and “N” for negative. Install the battery cables as shown, with the terminals
marked “P” on the positive battery terminals and the terminals marked “N” on the negative terminals. Position the cables so the battery
caps can be easily removed for service.
6
Carefully handtighten the nut on each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn on the battery post. Then tighten the nut one more
full turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very difficult to remove for future service.
7
Coat the terminals and posts with grease, petroleum jelly, or spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
8
Put one black rubber boot over each of the terminals.
