Maintenance and Service

5.5.1

Charging batteries

Before starting the machine up 
for the first time, the batteries 
to be used must be fully 
charged, properly, by imple-
menting the initial battery 
charge routine. PowerBoss as-
sumes no liability for damage 
to the battery caused by a fault 
when the battery is charged for 
the first time.

During operation, the battery discharge 
indicator in the operating panel 
(Fig.

 

15/3) indicates the discharge sta-

tus of the batteries, refer to Section 
3.2.2, Section ”Battery discharge status 
(Fig.

 

10/3)”. The batteries must be 

charged immediately the red LED lights 
up. The batteries (Fig.

 

15/6) are re-

charged using the integrated on-board 
charger (Fig.

 15/2):

1. Set the key switch to Position 0.

The batteries cannot be 
charged in Position 1.

2. Remove the charger cable  

(Fig.

 

15/1) from the recess on the 

right-hand side of the machine.

3. Plug the charger cable  

(Fig.

 

15/1) in a 230

 

V power outlet. 

While the battery is charging, the 
charge control indicator lights up in the 
operating panel (Fig.

 

15/3), refer to 

Section 3.2.2, Section "Charge control 
indicator (Fig. 10/2)".

When the charging process 
has been completed, discon-
nect the plug from the power 
outlet and return safely to the 
recess.

5.5.2

Total discharge signal trans-
ducer (TSG)

The machine is equipped with a total 
discharge signal transducer to protect 
the batteries against total discharge. 
The total discharge signal transducer is 
integrated in the electronics.

5.5.3

Servicing the drive batteries

Never leave discharged batteries lying 
around; recharge them immediately! 

Notes on servicing drive batter-
ies is also provided in supple-
mentary sheet 
88-60-2556 "Information on 
Drive Batteries“.

5.5.4

Removing batteries

Before the PowerBoss Collec-
tor 34 B is tipped for any rea-
son, the batteries must be re-
moved!
