Battery Maintenance:
When cleaning batteries use a solution of baking
soda and water.
(Do
not allow cleaning fluid to
enter inside battery cells.)
Keep a proper electrolyte level in battery cells.
Wipe down the battery tops at least once a
week.
If
a cell should accidently overflow, clean
immediately.
Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
Ensure that all connections are tight and that all
corrosion is removed.
Every 4
to 6 months remove batteries from the
machine and clean the battery compartment.

The amber light indicates that there is
about
20%
charge
left
in the batteries.
Do not let the
batterles completely drain before
Avoid
charging the batteries before the amber light comes
on.
The machine will run for hours on fully charged,
well maintained batteries.
DO NOT SMOKE, HAVE OPEN FLAMES, OR
SPARKS NEAR BATTERIES AT ANY TIME.
WARNING:
WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING WHEN WORKING
WITH

.)
Use
a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output, D.C.
charger which turns itself off, when the batteries are
fully charged. The charger must have a connector
that matches the machines battery connection.
2.)
Read the instructions and warnings provided by
the battery charger manufacturer.
3.)
Set the charger
in a well ventilated area
on
a lev-
el surface. Make sure cords will easily reach outlets
on both machine and wall.
4.)
Connect
charger to
D.C. outlet on machine
first.
5.) Connect the A.C. power cord to properly
grounded wall socket.
NEVER MAKE THE A.C.
CONNECTION FIRST, HAZARDOUS SPARKS MAY
RESULT.
6.)
After the batteries are completely charged discon-
nect the charger from the A.C. wall socket.
7.)
Once the charger is disconnected from the A.C.
wall socket it is safe to disconnect the charger from
the machine.
8.)
When the batteries
are fully charged, check the
electrolyte level by removing
the caps on top of the
batteries. If necessary fill the
cells with distilled water as
shown in the diagram to the
--
right. Be careful not to overfill
cells.
