Charging process
Caution:
Please pay careful attention to the instructions of
use provided by the manufacturer of the battery-
loading device.
Caution:
Each battery type and/or battery manufacturer re-
quires different charging characteristics.
Incorrect charging characteristics or the use of inappro-
priate chargers may result in early failure or the quick
destruction of batteries.
Notice:
Optionally available on-board chargers are adapted
to the battery size and contain several charging
characteristics which are adjusted ex works or by a
TASKI service technician for recommended batter-
ies. This regulation shall also apply for the use of
stationary (external) chargers.
Caution:
Persistent short-term use with subsequent battery
charging may cause long-term damage to the bat-
teries.
- Standard value: At least approx. 20% of the available
capacity should be used up before recharging the bat-
tery.
Caution:
In order to achieve their max. possible service life,
traction batteries must undergo the complete
charging cycle (12-16 hours) twice a week.
Caution:
Before decommissioning the machine for a longer
period, the batteries must undergo a complete
charging cycle. After completion, the charger is dis-
connected from the machine and/or mains. Batter-
ies gradually discharge. Depending on the type of
battery, they must be recharged after 3-6 months.
- Before recommissioning, the batteries should under-
go another complete charging cycle.
Charging procedure with external charger
Notice:
Only chargers recommended by the battery manu-
facturer and certified according to SELV (safety ex-
tra-low voltage) may be used.
Danger:
Do not plug the charger into the machine while it is
under tension (charger switched on).
The user may be injured by electric shock.
Warning:
Charging cables transfer high currents. Do not use
the charger if there are any signs of damage to the
plug, cable or device connection.
• Connect the external battery charger with the battery
charging plug of the machine.
66
Notice:
Make sure that the plug is inserted up to the stop in
order to ensure a good electrical contact.
Notice:
Check whether the charger plugged in has started
the charging process.
Notice:
All machine functions are deactivated during
charging.
Charging procedure with (optional) on-board
charger
• The machine must be switched off.
• Connect the main cord with a socket (protected by slow
fuse).
• The yellow indicator is constantly lit
until approx. 90% of the battery ca-
pacity has been reached. After-
wards, the indicator flashes until the
battery is fully charged.
• When the charging process is com-
plete, the green indicator is lit.
After charging
Warning:
Switch off the charger before disconnecting it from
the batteries.
Disconnecting the charger while it is still switched on
may result in an explosion in the battery compartment.
• Stow away the power cord for (optional) on-board chargers
in the provided compartment.
• Store the charging cable in a dry place where it is protected
against damage.
Warning:
Charging cables transfer high currents.
- Do not use the charger if there are any signs of dam-
age to the plug, cable or device connection.
Maintenance and care of open (wet-cell) batter-
ies
Notice:
The care for maintenance-free batteries is limited to
the compliance with the correct charging process-
es and correct adjustment of the charging curve.
