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.
Notice:
Make sure that the plug is inserted up to the stop in
order to ensure a good electrical contact.
Notice:
Check whether the plugged-in charger 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 cause 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.
Maintenance and care of open (wet-cell) batter-
ies
Notice:
Caring for maintenance-free batteries only entails
following proper charging procedures and config-
uring the charging curve correctly.
Open battery compartment for maintenance
• The machine must be switched off.
• Remove the driver seat from the seat
hood and place it on the floor.
In this way you prevent the driver
seat from falling down and thereby
prevent injuring people.
• Unlock the battery compartment with
the provided key.
• Remove the seat hood and carefully
place it on the floor.
Now the battery can be serviced ac-
cording to the manufacturer's notifi-
cation.
Prior to commissioning
Parking brake
• The parking brake is automatically unlocked by the elec-
tronics when actuating the gas pedal.
Notice:
When the machine is standing still, the parking
brake is always activated.
This is regardless of whether the machine is switched
on or off.
Release:
Notice:
The driver seat is equipped with a seat switch (pres-
ence detection). This seat switch is actuated when
the driver seat is occupied by the operating person-
nel.
The machine can only be operated when the seat
switch is actuated.
Emergency stop:
Notice:
If the steering or power supply fails, the parking
brake can be released by hand.
