CHARGING BATTERIES

ATTENTION: To prolong the life of the batteries
and to provide optimum machine performance,
ONLY recharge the batteries after a total of 30
minutes of use or more. Do not leave batteries
discharged for lengthy periods.
BATTERY METER: When the battery meter begins to
flash, stop scrubbing and recharge batteries. When
two lights begin to flash alternately, the scrub head will
automatically raise to the transport position. This will
protect the batteries from total discharge.
The following charging instructions are intended for
battery chargers supplied with the machine. Only use
a battery charger with the following specifications to
prevent battery damage.
