TO CHARGE BATTERIES

! CAUTION
When servicing machine, avoid contact with
battery acid.
! WARNING
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire
can result. Keep sparks and open flame away.
Keep covers open when charging.
! WARNING
Wear eye protection and protective clothing
when working with batteries.
! WARNING
Charge batteries in a well ventilated area. Leave
solution tank raised.
Use a 24 volt, 25 amp maximum output, DC charger
which will automatically shut off when the batteries
are fully charged.
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.
Drain solution tank and raise the solution tank and
lock the support arm. Make sure the support arm is
fully engaged.
! WARNING
Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire
can result. 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 has completed, add
just enough water to bring 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 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 indicator ring. If necessary add distilled
water.
11. Lower the solution tank.
