Recharging Battery.
Built-In Battery Charger.
If your machine is equipped with a built-in
battery charger, simply turn off the machine, set
the brake, open the hood (lid), and plug in the
charger to a wall outlet with the correct voltage.
In North America, our chargers are usually
equipped for a single phase 110V (60Hz)
operation, the same power as used in houses.
The three prong plug requires a grounded
outlet. Do not use without grounding.
The built-in charger is completely automatic.
Its electronic circuitry will tell it when the
battery is charged, and shut itself off. After the
battery achieves correct voltage, the charger
will give a "polish" to the battery by shifting to
high voltage input for a limited period of time.
The green light on the right hand side of the
charging unit will glow when the charger is
plugged in - provided that the charger is
also plugged in properly. The green light will
go out at the end of the charge cycle.
External Battery Charger.
If you use an external battery charger,
unplug Andersen connector before
beginning charge. Open hood and follow the
charger instructions.
Some battery chargers are not
NOTE:
automatic, and will not shut off when
battery is fully charged. You can seriously
damage a battery by overcharging it.
BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
Charging a battery produces explosive
hydrogen gas.
Leave the hood (lid) of the machine
open while the battery is charging to
avoid buildup of gas inside machine.
Do not smoke or expose open flame or
spark to area around battery during
charging.
Follow the instructions that came with
your charger. Many chargers are not
automatic and can over-heat the battery
if not properly set.
Watch for battery acid. If acid gets in
the eye, wash out with water for twenty
minutes and call a physician.
