OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
1. Batteries
DRAINED WATER MAY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ACID AND
MAY HAVE BECOME CORROSIVE. DO NOT ALLOW DRAIN
WATER TO CONTACT THE SKIN OR EYES. IF IT OCCURS, FLUSH
THE CONTACTED AREA WITH WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN
(GLOVES, GOGGLES, RUBBER APRON) TO PREVENT THE
DRAINED WATER FROM CONTACTING THE SKIN OR ANY PART
OF THE BODY.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTACT
THE SKIN OR EYES. IF IT DOES OCCUR, FLUSH THE
CONTACTED AREA WITH WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR
IMMEDIATELY. APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT MUST BE WORN
(GLOVES, GOGGLES, RUBBER APRON) TO PREVENT THE
ELECTROLYTE FROM CONTACTING THE SKIN OR ANY OTHER
PART OF THE BODY DURING ANY SERVICING OPERATION ON
THE BATTERY.
DURING MAINTENANCE OR ANY SERVICING OPERATION ON
THE BATTERY, RINGS, WATCHES OR ANY OTHER JEWELLERY
MUST BE REMOVED.
Daily maintenance
Electrolyte level
Verify the electrolyte level after the charge using the floats in
the center of each filling cap.
NOTE: Tilt the charger to gain access to the front battery
pack.
Fill the battery cells, if necessary, after the charge using
the filling system.
IMPORTANT
USE ONLY DISTILLED OR DEMINERALIZED WATER TO FILL THE
BATTERY CELLS. BATTERY CELLS MUST BE FILLED ONLY
A F T E R T H E C H A R G E ( D U R I N G T H E C H A R G E , T H E
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL INCREASES AND CAN OVERFLOW).

• Fill the can with distilled water.
• Depress and hold the push button to activate the
battery filling pump until the flow indicator slows
down.
• Check that the level is correct in each battery cell.
Weekly maintenance
Cleaning - Battery maintenance
It is necessary to clean the battery regularly to prevent
salt formation and current arcing which could damage
the machine.
• Clean and dry the battery top.
• Ensure the connections are clean and tight.
• Keep the metallic containers clean. In case of
corrosion, clean, neutralize corrosion and apply
anti-acid paint on the affected area.
• Drain the water that can accumulate at the bottom of
the container (electrolyte overflow, leak in the
centralized filling circuit, battery cleaning...).
To drain the water :
• A draining bulb is supplied with the work platform
NOTE: The water that contacted a battery is classified as
industrial waste, it must be disposed of according
to regulations in force.
Monthly maintenance
Checking voltage and electrolyte specific gravity
NOTE: Voltage and specific gravity measures should not
be performed after battery cells have been filled.
These measures must be done after a complete
charge once the charger has been unplugged and
the machine has been standing for 15 mn.
