USING THE ON--BOARD BATTERY CHARGER
IMPORTANT: If your machine is equipped with the
on--board battery charger, make sure the charger
profile is properly set for your battery type before
charging. Failure to properly set will result in
battery damage.
To determine your battery type, see battery label.
Contact your battery supplier if not specified.
To verify the setting of the charger profile, connect the
charger cord into an electrical receptacle. If the LED
labeled “GEL” is on, the charger is set for Gel (sealed)
batteries. If the LED is off, the charger is set for
Wet/lead acid (flooded) batteries (Figure 33).
