Note on maintenance and care

9.3.1 Maintenance information
• Plastic surfaces (such as the housing surface) should only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Charge the AG300 before you use it. Always use a control unit or drive from DewertOkin that
has an integrated charging circuit for charging the battery. A DewertOkin charging station may
also be used.
• After the unit has been in storage for a long time, it may be necessary to charge the battery
more than once before the complete capacity is restored.
• There are numerous drive systems (especially CARE and HOSP) where a small current will flow
even when the drive is not in use. Thus, the AG300 can discharge even when it is not used.
• The storage time should not be longer than six months at the recommended storage tempera-
ture. The battery should be charged again after this interval. At higher storage temperatures, the
battery should be recharged more frequently. This will help to prevent a complete discharge of
the battery, which would damage it irreparably.
9.3.2 Care instructions
The lead-acid batteries are maintenance-free. As with any rechargeable battery, the lifespan of the
AG300 is limited. The actual lifespan is very dependent on the battery maintenance. In order to
achieve the maximum lifespan for the battery, observe the battery level indicator and charge the
batteries after any prolonged storage time (6 months storage should not be exceeded).
• Always keep the AG300 clean and dry. Do not short-circuit the AG300. Store the AG300 so that
the terminals cannot be shorted to each other or other metallic objects.
• The AG300 should not be exposed to mechanical vibrations.
• Only use the recommended charger.
• Do not use organic solvents (thinning solvents, alcohol, oil, rust inhibitors or surface-active
agents such as chemical cleaners, etc.) on the AG300.
• Retain the original documents for any future inquiries.
• The best battery capacity for the AG300 is achieved when the product is used at normal room
temperatures (from 20 °C to 25 °C).
• Do not submerge the AG300 in water or store it in a humid location. It should be kept in a cool,
dry place. The recommended temperature range for long-term storage is between +10 °C and
+30 °C, at a relative humidity of 50 %.
• Only use the AG300 for its specified purpose.
