Batteries: removal
When removing the batteries, the operator must be equipped with suitable personal protection devices
(gloves, goggles, overalls, safety shoes, etc) to reduce the risk of accidents. Make sure the switches on
the control panel are in the "0" position (off) and the machine is turned off. Keep away from naked flames,
do not short circuit the battery poles, do not cause sparks and do not smoke. Proceed as follows:
►
disconnect the battery wiring and bridge terminals from the battery poles.
►
if necessary, remove the devices fixing the battery to the base of the machine.
►
lift the batteries from the compartment using suitable lifting equipment.
Battery charger (battery models)
Never allow the batteries to become excessively flat as this could damage them irreparably.
If the machine has an ON-BOARD battery charger (installed by the manufacturer), no operations are re-
Choosing a battery charger (machines without ON-BOARD battery charger)
Make sure the battery charger is compatible with the batteries to be charged:
►
tubular lead batteries: you are recommended to use a 24V - 5A automatic battery charger. However, you
should always consult the battery charger manufacturer and manual to confirm the choice.
►
gel batteries: use a charger specific for this type of battery.
Preparing the battery charger
If you wish to use a battery charger not provided with the machine, you must fit it with the connector supplied with
the machine (see paragraph "Unpacking" in this manual).
To install the connector, proceed as follows:
►
remove about 13 mm of protective sheath from the red and black wires of the battery charger;
►
insert the wires into the connector contacts and squeeze them forcefully with suitable pliers;
►
respect the polarity (red wire + black wire –) when inserting the wires into the connector.
