BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGE
1. Battery
Charge the equipped battery before using it, although it has already charged and can be used.
Notes : 1. Be sure to make correct connection with the battery terminals (
＋
red,
－
black).
2. To connect the battery, start with the
＋
terminal, to disconnect it, start with the
－
terminal.
2. Battery Care
(1) The battery electrolyte is diluted sulfuric acid and is very harmful to the skin. Never unscrew the electrolyte cap except
when required to refill. When refilling, pay enough attention to keep the electrolyte off the skin. Also, never to spill the
electrolyte.
(2) The battery discharges continuously even not in use, so the supplementary charging is required.
* Be sure to recharge the battery using the attached charger, because unlike automobile batteries, this battery cannot be
charged during the operation.
(3) The attached charger is an automatic charger, which can automatically switch from the normal charging to the
supplementary charging (charging to cover the self-discharged electricity).
(4) Check the electrolyte level from time to time. Put distilled water into the battery up to the maximum liquid level, if the
electrolyte level is below the level.
3. Battery Charging
(1) Clean the battery terminals, by removing dust and dirt from the
battery. If the electrolyte level is below the maximum liquid level,
put distilled water into the battery up to the maximum liquid level.
(2) Connect the output plug of the battery charger to the socket of
this fire fighting pump. If the power switch is tuned on, the power
lamp(red) is lit and the charging starts.
(3) The charging is complete when the completion lamp(green) is lit
and the power lamp(red) is turned off. The charger goes into the
supplementary battery charging.
Notes : 1. The breaker is activated if excessive current is supplied because of a reverse connected battery. Also, the
breaker may be activated if the Main Switch is turn to the "CELL" during the charging. Eliminate the causes
of the problem, and reset the breaker to the normal position.
2. The useful life of the battery is about 2 years.
