6.5-1 Battery service procedure

WARNING
Explosion Hazard - Keep flames and sparks away.
Do not smoke near batteries.

Battery acid is extremely corrosive - Wear proper
eye and facial protection as well as appropriate
protective clothing. If contact occurs, immediately
flush with cold water and seek medical attention.
1. On either the left or right side of the MEWP ,
disconnect and lock out main power connector.
2. Check battery case for damage.
3. Check battery fluid level in each battery. If plates
are not covered by at least 13 mm (1/2") of
solution, add distilled or demineralized water.
4. Make sure all battery connections are tight.

6.5-2 Battery charging operation

Figure 27 Battery charger
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Do not immerse the
charger in water. Though the charger is highly
resistant to water, it is not designed for immersion
and an electric shock can occur.
1. Provide adequate ventilation for the batteries
and charger. The convection cooled design
requires access to cooling air for proper
operation. Do not allow blankets or other
materials to cover the charger. Although the
charger protects itself against overheating,
the charger cooling fins should be cleaned if
clogged with debris for best performance.
WARNING
There could be a spark during charging. Be careful
when using fuels, solvents or other flammables
near the charger or batteries.
2. Connect the power supply cord to a properly
grounded 100V/50 or 60Hz, 115V/50 or 60Hz,
or 230V/50 or 60Hz socket. This charger
automatically senses and adjusts to the AC input
voltage range.
CAUTION
When changing the input voltage wait until all the
LEDs are OFF or wait a minimum of 20 seconds
before switching on the new voltage.
