HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
How To Charge The Batteries
WARNING!
Charging the batteries in an area without adequate ventilation
could result in an explosion. To prevent an explosion, charge the
batteries only in an area with good ventilation.
WARNING!
Lead acid batteries generate gases which could explode. Keep
sparks and fl ames away from batteries. NO SMOKING!
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Before charging the batteries, the battery compartment needs
to be vented. To vent compartment, tip up the recovery tank
until it locks in the open position (see fi gure #8). To close the
tank, pull up on the arm and then slowly lower the tank to the
closed position.
CAUTION!
Before raising tank, be sure tank is empty.
WARNING!
Do not operate or perform maintenance on the machine while the
recovery tank is in the open position. The tank can be accidentally
bumped and it may slam shut.
3. Connect the battery charger AC cord located at the rear of
the machine to a 15 amp (min) 120V properly grounded wall
receptacle.
4. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging process has
started. Flashing light(s) indicates that the batteries are being
charged. Steady on green light indicates the batteries are fully
charged.
NOTE: Make sure you plug into a circuit that is not loaded by other
equipment. Wall breakers may be tripped and no charge will occur.
WARNING!
Never charge a GEL battery with an unsuitable battery charger.
Carefully follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the
batteries and battery charger.
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries, avoid
their complete discharge. Never leave the batteries completely
discharged, even if the machine is not being used. When
recharging the batteries, keep the recovery tank open. After every
20 recharging cycles, check the level of the electrolyte and if
necessary top off with distilled water.
