RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
DANGER:
•
If the battery charger power cable is damaged or broken, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer or authorised service personnel, or another qualified person, in order to protect
against hazards.
•
The socket for the battery charger cable must have a prescribed earth connection.
•
Keep sparks, flames, and incandescent materials at a safe distance from the batteries. Explosive
gases are emitted during normal use.
•
highly explosive hydrogen gas is generated while charging the batteries. Keep the recovery
tank in a maintenance position during the entire battery recharging cycle, and only perform the
procedure in well-ventilated areas at a safe distance from any open flames.
•
Before charging, make sure the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the batteries
is not damaged. If it is, don't use it; contact technical assistance.
•
Before charging, make sure the electric cable that connects the battery charger to the mains is
not damaged. If it is, don't use it; contact technical assistance.
•
Do not disconnect the DC cable of the battery charger from the socket on the appliance while
the battery charger is operating. This is necessary in order to avoid electric arcs forming. To
disconnect the battery charger when it is charging, first disconnect the alternating current power
cable.
WARNING:
•
Do not use an incompatible battery charger as it could damage the batteries and potentially
cause a fire.
•
The batteries emit hydrogen gas. This gas can cause explosions or fires. Stay away from any
flames and sparks. keep the covers open when charging the batteries.
•
Before using the battery charger, make sure that the frequency and the voltage values indicated
on the machine's data plate coincide with the network's values.
