BATTERY CHARGING
NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow or red warning LED (62) turns on, or at the end of every working cycle.
Keeping the batteries charged make them last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes their life shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. During battery
charging, lift the recovery tank and perform this procedure in well-ventilated areas and away from naked flames.
Do not smoke while charging the batteries.
While charging the battery, always keep the tank assembly open with the relevant stand (25).
WARNING!
Pay close attention when charging WET CELL batteries, as there may be battery fluid leakages. The battery fluid
is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
Preliminary procedures
1. Drive the machine to the appointed recharging area.
2. Ensure that the machine is off and the ignition key (58) has been removed.
3. Open the cover (20) and check that the tank (19) is empty, otherwise empty it with the drain hose (24).
4. Close the cover (20).
5. Carefully lift the tank assembly (44).
6. (For WET batteries only) Check the level of electrolyte inside the batteries (39). If necessary, unscrew the plugs (40) and top
up.
When the correct level is reached, close the caps (40) and, if necessary, clean the upper surface of the batteries.
Battery charging
7. Connect the battery charger cable (41) to the electrical mains (the electrical mains voltage and frequency must be compatible
with the battery charger values shown on the machine serial number plate).
NOTE
When the battery charger is connected to the electrical mains, all machine functions are automatically cut off.
When the red LED is on (62) with a steady light indicates that the battery charger is charging the batteries.
When the yellow LED is on (62) with a steady light indicates that the charger is completing the battery charge.
When the green LED is on, the battery charging cycle is complete.
8. Disconnect the battery charger cable (41) from the electrical mains and wind it round its housing behind the battery charger.
9. Carefully lower the tank assembly (44).
10. Now the machine is ready to be used.
NOTE
For further information about the battery charger operation (16), see the relevant Manual.
