and only after running the machine for a minimum of
15 minutes.
S

C or less.
S
Allow the charger to complete charging the batteries
before re-using the machine.
S
Maintain the proper electrolyte levels of flooded (wet)
batteries by checking levels weekly.
Your machine is equipped with either flooded (wet)
lead-acid or maintenance-free batteries supplied by
Tennant.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, keep all
metal objects off batteries. Avoid contact with
battery acid.
MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES
Maintenance-free (Sealed AGM) batteries do not
require watering. Cleaning and other routine
maintenance is still required.
FLOODED (WET) LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
The flooded (wet) lead-acid batteries require routine
watering as described below. Check the battery
electrolyte level weekly.
The electrolyte level should be slightly above the
battery plates as shown before charging (Figure 40).
Add distilled water if low. DO NOT OVERFILL. The
electrolyte will expand and may overflow when
charging. After charging, distilled water can be added
up to about 3 mm (0.12 in) below the sight tubes.

NOTE: Make sure the battery caps are in place while
charging. There may be a sulfur smell after charging
batteries. This is normal.
CHECKING CONNECTIONS / CLEANING
After every 200 hours of use, check for loose battery
connections and clean the surface of the batteries,
including terminals and cable clamps to prevent battery
corrosion. Use a scrub brush with a strong mixture of
baking soda and water (Figure 41). Do not remove
battery caps when cleaning batteries.
