BATTERIES
TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES
When servicing machine, avoid contact with bat-
tery acid.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire
can result. Keep sparks and open flame away.
Keep covers open when charging.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
working with batteries.
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave
the solution tank open.
Use a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output, DC charger which
will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully
charged to charge the six battery pack.
1. Stop the machine in a clean, well ventilated area next
to the charger
2. Turn “OFF” machine and set parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine;
Stop on level surface, set parking brake, turn off
machine and remove key
3. Drain solution tank and raise the solution tank and
lock the support arm. Make sure the support arm is
fully engaged.
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can re-
sult. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers
open when charging.
4. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell. Before
charging, add just enough water to cover the plates.
After charging is complete, add just enough water to
bring up the level to the indicator ring. If the water level
is too high before charging, normal expansion of the
electrolyte may cause an overflow, resulting in loss of
battery acid balance and damage to the machine.
5. Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place
while charging.
6. Unplug the battery connector from the machine.
FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the charger to
the batteries before connecting the charger to the AC
wall outlet. Never connect the charger to the AC wall
outlet first. Hazardous sparks may result.
7. Plug the charger connector into the battery connector.
Connect the charger AC plug to a wall outlet. The
charger gauge should indicate that the batteries are
charging.
8. When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the
charger from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the
charger from the batteries.
9. Connect the batteries to the machine connector.
10. Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the indi-
cator ring. If necessary add distilled water.
11. Lower the solution tank.
