BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow (F,
Figure 14) or red warning light (G) turns
on, or when finishing cleaning.
CAUTION!
Keeping the batteries charged make their
life 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!
WET battery charging produces highly
explosive hydrogen gas. Charge the
batteries in well-ventilated areas and
away from naked flames. Do not smoke
while charging the batteries. Keep the
tank open while charging the batteries.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging the
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.
