SAFETY RULES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Rules Page 16
To obtain the maximum battery life:
Charge the batteries only after they reach a normal discharge as indicated on the Battery Status Indicator
(BSI). Failure to follow this guideline could result in the batteries entering an overcharge state, which
will reduce the life of the batteries. If you find it necessary to charge the batteries before they are
completely discharged we recommend waiting until they are discharged a minimum of 25% to reduce
the possibility of overcharging. Refer to Vehicle Controls in this section for information on how to read
the BSI.
Do not discharge the batteries beyond a normal discharge as indicated on the BSI. Refer to Vehicle
Controls in this section for information on how to read the BSI.
Check the battery electrolyte once a week. Do not charge the batteries if the battery electrolyte is low.
Charging when the electrolyte is low will damage the batteries and shorten their life-span. Only authorized
personnel should perform battery maintenance including maintaining the battery electrolyte level. Refer
to Section
Maintenance, Service and Repair
for battery maintenance information.
Do not interrupt the charging cycle. When the charger is plugged in, allow it to turn off before disconnecting.
Interrupting the charging cycle could lead to overcharging or discharging the batteries too deep. Both
circumstances will shorten the life of the batteries.
STORING AND RETURNING TO SERVICE
Both storing your vehicle and returning it to service should only be performed by authorized personnel.
Storing Your Vehicle
•
Clean the batteries, then fill and charge before putting the vehicle in storage. Do not store
batteries in a discharged condition.
•
Lube all grease fittings.
•
Clean, dry, and check all exposed electrical
connections.
•
Inflate tires to proper pressure (if applicable).
•
For extended storage, the vehicle should be elevated so
that the tires do not touch the ground.
If stored for a prolonged period, the batteries should be charged
per the table to the right.
Returning to Service
•
Check the battery’s state of charge and charge if required.
•
Perform ALL maintenance checks in the periodic checklist.
•
Remove any blocks from the vehicle and/or place the vehicle down on to the ground.
•
Test drive before putting into normal service.
