Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

AFTER USE:

Turn machine off by pressing the "O" button on the control panel. Machine can be cleaned with

a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Batteries should be charged after each use or when the

battery condition meter shows a low charge. To recharge the batteries, plug the 36V charger into

the recharge port located at the left front side of the machine. The recharge port has an interlock

switch so the machine can not be turned on when the batteries are being recharged. Once the

meter on the battery charger reads 0 amps, the batteries are recharged. This should take

approximately 6-8 hours if the batteries are completely discharged.

WARNING

Battery acid can cause burns. When working on or around batteries, wear protective clothing

and safety glasses. Remove metal jewelry. Do not lay tools or metal objects on top of batteries.

Charging batteries generates explosive gasses. DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES WHEN OPEN

FLAMES OR SPARKS ARE PRESENT. DO NOT SMOKE. Make sure the charger is turned off

before disconnecting it from the batteries. Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area. Fluid

levels should be checked before and after charging and maintained at the proper levels. If low,

add water until the metal plates are covered. If the machine is not used for extended periods of

time, batteries should be kept fully charged with a boost charge once a week.

Design life of carbon brushes is between 1800-2000 hours. Replace brushes if worn to 3/8" or

less, broken, or chipped. All carbon brushes should be replaced when motor is serviced.
