4.
Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell.
Before charging, add just enough distilled water
to cover the plates. After charging is complete,
add just enough distilled water to bring up the
level to the indicator ring. If the water level is
too high before charging, normal expansion rate
of the electrolyte may cause an overflow.
Resulting in a loss of battery acid balance and
damage the machine.
1.
Replace the battery caps, and leave them in
place while charging.
2.
Unplug the battery connector from the machine.
FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the
charger to the batteries before connecting the
charger to the AC wall outlet. Never connect the
charger to the AC wall outlet first. Hazardous
sparks may result.
3.
Plug the charger connector into the battery
connector. Connect the charger AC plug to a
wall outlet. The charger gauge should indicate
that the batteries are charging.
4.
When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger from the AC wall outlet, then
disconnect the charger from the batteries.
5.
Connect the batteries to the machine connector.
6.
Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to
the indicator ring. If necessary, add distilled
water.
7.
Lower the solution tank.
Machines equipped with onboard Charger:
1.
Fully open Recovery Tank / Battery Cover or
prop in partially open position using bracket
(included). This will provide additional venting of
batteries during charging cycle.
2.
Connect charger’s AC power cord to AC mains.
The charger’s YELLOW “AC” LED will light.
Note: When charger is energized, all machine
function will shut down.
3. After several seconds, the charger’s green LED
will flash to indicate that charging is in process.
Note: If no lights are illuminated, or yellow LED
flashes, refer to the charger Product Manual
Troubleshooting section.
4.
When charging is complete, both the yellow and
the green LED’s will remain on. The charger is
now in standby mode.
5.
Disconnect charger’s AC power cord.
6.
Raise battery cover and check the battery
electrolyte level. It should be up to the indicator
ring. If necessary, add distilled water.
7.
