General information on handling
batteries
Pay attention to the safety in-
formation in Section 1.4 and
Section 1.5.2 as well as the in-
formation on servicing and
maintenance in the battery
documents.
Also refer to the information in
the supplementary sheet 88-
60-2556 “Information on driv-
ing batteries”.
• Always disconnect the battery plug
before starting any work on the elec-
trical installation.
• Batteries may only be handled and
changed by properly skilled mainte-
nance personnel.
• Pay attention to legal requirements
and local directives.
5.4.1 Charging batteries
Before starting the vehicle up
for the first time, the batteries
to be used must be properly
charged by implementing the
initial battery charge routine,
refer to Section 2.2. Power-
Boss assumes no liability for
damage to the battery caused
by a fault when the battery is
charged for the first time.
There must be sufficient venti-
lation in the charging area - risk
of explosion!
The seat console (Fig. 25/5)
must be open during the bat-
tery charging process to pre-
vent the development of explo-
sive oxyhydrogen!
Only use the original charger!
Pay attention that the insula-
tion is not initially damaged
and not damaged during the
charging process. The cable
must not rub against anything.
Do not use the charger if the in-
sulation is damaged.
We recommend charging the battery
when at least one dot of the battery in-
dicator has gone out after operating the
machine. The indicator
(Fig. 25/1) also indicates the charge
status of the batteries during the charg-
ing process.
• Connect the battery plug (Fig. 25/4)
to the battery charger supplied.
• Pay attention to the information in
the operating manual supplied with
the charger and the manual from
battery manufacturer.
Do not inhale battery gases.
