The battery charger is used to recharge the batteries by means of connection to a 120 VAC power source

(wall outlet or generator). The PTL 2.4x has a 40 Amp charger with a maximum power output of 960 Watts

(at 24 VDC).
The charger plug (for connection to the 120 VAC source) is located at the base of the control cabinet

door and can be accessed without the need to open the control cabinet (refer to S

if using a generator).

Note: Always ensure that the power cable used to connect to the battery charger is the correct gauge, in

good working condition and properly grounded.

13.4

A minimum 1200 Watt generator is required to meet the power requirements of the battery charger.

Connection and Operation

CAUTION

Never start up the generator while connected to the battery charger. This may lead to

damage and/or failure of the battery charger.
Generators can output high voltage spikes upon initial startup. To protect the battery charger from such

voltage spikes, allow the generator to run for a few minutes after initial startup, then make the connection

to the battery charger.

Note: Always ensure that the power cable used to connect to the battery charger is the correct gauge, in

good working condition and properly grounded.
