(These values vary with the temperature, the
condition of the battery plates, and the electro-
lyte level.)

Check the open-circuit voltage.
●
Check the charge of the battery, as shown
in the charts and the following example.
Example
Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
Charging time = 6.5 hours
Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30%

Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
CAUTION:
●
Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
●
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
●
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
●
When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the machine. (If charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the machine, disconnect the negative
battery lead from the battery terminal.)
●
To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
