Battery Maintenance
This unit is equipped with a deep cycle 12-volt Group 27 battery. The care and maintenance of your battery has
much to do with how well this unit functions. Battery wiring and water level should be checked monthly.
Do
not overfill.
When the cells are too full, fluid will seep out when charging. The solution is at its proper strength
when the battery is manufactured. Use distilled water and keep fluid up to proper level. When required, water
should be added to battery after charging, unless water level is below the plates.

Remove battery caps and check fluid level.
x
Fill each cell (if needed) to split ring with
distilled water.
x
Reinstall caps.
x
Wash all dirt, debris, acid, etc., off battery
whenever corrosion is detected. Use a
solution of 5-tsp. baking soda per quart of
warm water.

Charging the Battery
This unit is equipped with a deep cycle 12-volt battery. The care and maintenance of your battery has much to
do with how well this unit functions. Battery wiring and water level should be checked monthly.
Do not overfill.
When the cells are too full, fluid will seep out when charging.
Note:
The surrounding temperature greatly affects the power reserve within a battery.
Example: A battery that is 100% charged at 80° F (27°C) drops to 65% at 32°F (0°C) At 0°F (-18°C), this battery
will drop to 40% efficiency.
WARNING
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES. KEEP SPARKS AND
FLAME AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE CHARGING.
x
Park the machine on a level surface.
x
Plug charger into AC outlet until charged. (Indicated by solid lights)
x
For best battery life, leave charger plugged in until machine will be used again. The charger will maintain the
battery charge.
The charger will not begin charging on severely discharged batteries.

Components requiring adjustment
Under normal use, no components should require adjustment. Contact the manufacturer if adjustments are required.
Examination, repair, replacement of limited life components
With proper use, battery maintenance, and regular inspection, there are no limited life components that require routine
replacement.
CAUTION
NEVER ADD ACID TO BATTERY!
This display indicates that power is on but there is no
connection to a battery. The charger must see
approximately 5 volts on a battery in order to deliver
d/c current.
This display indicates that power is on and that the
output is delivering d/c current to the batteries
.
This display indicates that power is on and
that the output is finished charging and is in a
float maintenance mode.
