How to Prepare The Machine for Operation

Model SPS-28B - Battery Powered

1.Before starting the SPS-28B lift the battery box cover and make sure the battery cables are connected.

2.Place all controls in "NEUTRAL".

3.Turn OFF/ON switch to "ON" position. (Switch is located on left side, below hourmeter.

NOTE: The OFF/ON switch is also a circuit breaker which senses overload on the drive motor and breaks the circuit. Should this occur, determine the cause of the overload (e.g., remove the debris jamming the main broom) and turn the circuit breaker back to the "ON" position.

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES

Put the charger on a flat surface. Make sure the vents on the sides of the charger are at least two inches away from the walls and other objects. Make sure there are no objects near the bottom vents of the charger.

To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:

1.Turn the machine OFF.

2.Connect the DC connector on the charger to the connecting plug on the batteries. See Fig. 1

3.Connect the AC plug on the charger to a receptacle that has the correct voltage and frequency for your charger. Make sure the receptacle is connected to the electrical ground.

4.The electronic timer stops the charger when the batteries are fully charged.

See the instruction book for the charger, and for more instructions on how to use the charger and charge the batteries.
