Page 36: Batteries And Charging
HR Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES MUST BE RECHARGED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA FREE OF FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HAZARDS THAT MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION. HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS. Recharge batteries at the end of every working day or shift. (Note: To recharge batteries fully from flat takes approx. - Page 37 HR Series Operating & Safety Instructions Notes: If the charger is reconnected to the power supply shortly after it has gone through its full charging cycle, the charger will show an Amber light, immediately followed by the Green 80% lamp. The charger would then go through its complete cycle again at an accelerated rate, depending on the time difference between connection, reconnection and level of battery charge.
- Page 38 HR Series Operating & Safety Instructions The charger requires a minimum battery voltage of 4.5 volts per battery (overall for two batteries 9 volts, for 4 batteries 19 volts for 8 batteries 38 volts). If the voltage is below these values then the charger will not function (Charger will not detect batteries to begin charge.) If the batteries have fallen to such a poor state they will have to be removed from the machine and charged individually with an independent charger until the optimum voltage has been reached.

(4.7.1) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a ‘snatch’ load, i.e. lift slowly to take up the load before raising.
- Page 41 HR Series Operating & Safety Instructions On completion of an extended period of road transport, the machine might need additional inspection to identify any transit degradation, which could render the machine unsafe. Perform a P.D.I. inspection on the unit before it enters service. Record any faults found and rectify them immediately.
