Battery Charging (Continues)
Warning! When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries in well-ventilated areas and away from naked
flames. Do not smoke while charging the batteries. Keep the recovery tank lifted until
the battery charging cycle is over.
Warning! Pay close attention when charging WET CELL batteries, as there may be battery fluid
leakages. The battery fluid is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
1. (For WET CELL batteries only) Check the level of electrolyte inside the batteries. If necessary, unscrew
the caps and top up.
2. When the correct level is restored, close the caps and clean the tops of the batteries.
Charging the Batteries with an External Battery
Charger
3. Check that the external battery charger is
suitable by referring to the relevant Manual.
The battery charger voltage rating must be 24V.
4. Press the emergency push-button, disconnect
the red battery connector and connect it to the
external battery charger.
5. Connect the battery charger to the electrical
mains.
6. After charging, disconnect the battery charger
from the electrical mains and from the battery
red connector.
7. Connect the battery connector to the machine.

assembly.
Battery charging with battery charger installed on
the machine
9. Plug the battery charger into the electrical
mains (the mains voltage and frequency must
be compatible with the battery charger values
shown on the machine serial number plate).
Note:
When the battery charger is
connected to the electrical
mains, all machine functions
are automatically cut off.
10.
When the first or second segment from the left in
the battery symbol is flashing, this means that
the battery charger is charging the batteries.
11. When the third segment from the left in the
battery symbol is flashing, this means that the
battery charger is finishing the battery charging
cycle.
12. When all segments of the battery symbol
are steadily lit, the battery charging cycle is
complete.
13. Disconnect the battery charger plug from the
electrical mains and place it in its holder.
14. Disengage the support rod, then grasp the
handle and carefully lower the recovery tank
assembly.
