Charging The Batteries
Warning :
Do not disconnect batteries or open circuit the circuit breaker during charging. This is dangerous
to both people and equipment.
Note :
The inhibit is shorted to B- external to the System.
Plug the battery charger into the charging socket located at the front of the SHARK
joystick.
The SHARK Information Gauge will indicate the system is being charged by cy-
cling between a left-to-right "chase" and displaying the current battery state-of-
charge.
Driving is prevented (inhibited) while the system is being charged.
Once the system status gauge displays a "full battery charge (all LED's are lit), the
battery charger plug may be removed.
Note: If the SHARK is turned off, or goes into sleep while charging, charging will
continue.
SHARK Information Gauge
The SHARK Information Gauge (located on the joystick console) is the primary source of user feedback. It
displays every possible status that SHARK may have.
• SHARK Power ON
• The battery Indicator displays the true state-of-battery-charge, including notifi cation of when the battery
desperately requires charging. The true status is most accurate only while you are driving.
•
Any green
LED's lit indicates
well-charged
batteries.
•
If
only yellow and red
LED's are lit, the batteries are
moderately charged
.
They must be recharge before undertaking a long trip. To prolong the life of the batteries they should
be recharged at this point.
•
If
only red
LED's remain lit the batteries are running out of charge.
Recharge
as soon as possible.
Frequently driving down to the red will reduce the life of the batteries.
• SHARK Lock Mode countdown.
• Program, inhibit or charge modes.
• Fault indication (Flash Codes)
