NEVER ADD ACID TO BATTERY!
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES. KEEP
SPARKS AND FLAME AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT
SMOKE WHILE CHARGING.
2.1 | BATTERY MAINTENANCE
This unit is equipped with deep cycle 12-volt
batteries. The care and maintenance of your
batteries 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 side cover to access battery.
•
Remove battery caps and check fluid level.
•
Fill each cell (if needed) to split ring with
distilled water.
•
Reinstall caps.
•
Wash all dirt, debris, acid, etc., off battery
whenever corrosion is detected. Use a
solution of 5ml baking soda per 0.95 liters of
warm water.
•
Coat terminals with a commercially available
coating.
•
Close cabinet and latch in place.
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.
2.2 | CHARGING THE BATTERY
The charger may include an interlock circuit. If so
equipped, the unit will not operate while charging.
To Charge:
•
Park the machine on a level surface.
•
Plug charger into AC outlet until charged.
•
For best battery life, leave the charger plugged
in until machine will be used again. The
charger will maintain the battery charge.
