Opportunity Charging
Opportunity charging is charging the batteries when an
opportunity presents itself, such as during breaks, and
is done
in addition to a full charge cycle
.
Opportunity charging is recommended, as this extra
charging time will help raise the operating voltage of the
batteries, and will help ensure maximum runtime and
cycle life.
See Monthly Maintenance and Operating Battery
Charger Instructions for equalizing your batteries
especially if you have been opportunity charging
your machine.
Weekly Maintenance
(Every 25 Hours)
Verify all daily maintenance has been performed.
Inspect the Flexiwall Shield
•
Inspect the Flexiwall Shield for dents around the
outside edge and cracks in the plastic.
•
Check that the Brush and Retaining Band are
properly installed.
•
Remove dirt build up on the brush along the bottom of
the Flexiwall Shield.
•
A damaged Flexiwall Shield Assembly will greatly
reduce dust control capabilities of the machine.
Check the Battery Tray Drain Hose
•
Check the Battery Tray Drain Hose for liquid level on
a weekly basis.
•
Spilled liquids from the battery compartment area are
collected in a tray under the batteries. The tray can be
drained using the hose at the rear of the machine as
shown above.
•
IMPORTANT:
Drain all liquids into an approved
container and dispose of according to your local or
federal regulations.
Monthly Maintenance
(Every 100 Hours)
Verify that all daily and weekly maintenance has
been performed.
Equalize your batteries (Flooded only).
The batteries should be equalized once every 30 days
for maximum battery runtime and life.
To equalize the batteries:
•
Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).
•
Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.
•
The charger will run for 2hrs, holding the batteries at
a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
•
THIS STEP IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU
PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY CHARGING
Inspect the machine components
•
Inspect the machine components for wear, loose
fasteners, or damage. Pay special attention to all
pivot points and moving parts.
•
Call an authorized NSS service center for repairs.
90 Day Maintenance
(Every 300 Hours)
Verify that all daily, weekly and monthly
maintenance has been performed.
Lubrication
•
Lubricate the caster with an industrial grade bearing
grease. Failure to lubricate caster will cause the
machine to maneuver with difficulty and premature
failure of the caster will result.
