BATTERY CHARGING
Three, 12-volt, Deep Cycle batteries power the QuicKART M3-M3 HD. Under normal
usage they will power the QuicKART for 10 or more hours, when the ambient temperatures
are above approximately 40 degrees F. Colder temperatures will reduce the operating
time of the batteries and increase the charging time. To optimize battery power, store and
charge the QuicKART in a room with a temperature of at least 50 degrees F.
To recharge the batteries:
FIRST, park the QuicKART in a well-ventilated location near an electrical outlet. The
QuicKART must be turned off and the key removed. Plug the Dane 10-foot extension cord
(if provided) into the connector located at the lower left rear of the QuicKART, see page
15. Use special care to ensure the extension cord is properly seated inside the connector.
Failure to do so can cause improper charging or damage to the battery charger.
SECOND, connect the charger's Dane 10-foot power extension cord or machine AC cord
into a wall receptacle. The battery charger will automatically shut off when the batteries
are fully charged. This takes between eight to ten hours for fully discharged batteries.
The LEDs on the charger tell you the status of the charge process. Flashing yellow, start
of charge. Solid yellow, maximum charge. Flashing green, tapering charge. Solid green,
charge complete; Ready to use.
The charger continues to monitor the condition of the battery and top off the charge after
the green light is on. The charger should be connected any time the QuicKART is not
being used.
Make sure the power to the wall receptacle is not turned off during the nightly
recharging time.
The AC cord must be unplugged before the QuicKART will move.
To put the QuicKART back into service, after the batteries are fully charged, disconnect
the charger's AC power cord from the wall receptacle and, if an extension cord is used,
from the lower receptacle at the lower left rear of the QuicKART. Store the extension cord
in an appropriate location.
WARNING
Do not use long extension cords. Use the AC cord supplied with the
machine. Find a location for re-charging that is close to an electrical outlet receptacle. If
another cord must be used, it must be 16 gauge or larger and no more than 10 feet in
length.
WARNING
Do not plug more than one machine into an extension cord or electrical
outlet receptacle, use one outlet for each machine.
