DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS

The battery condition indicators give a relative indication of the state of charge of the battery pack. A fully charged battery pack will measure above 37.6 volts with no load applied (2.09 volts per cell). The AquaRideSE / BRX 700 is equipped with a low voltage cutout feature that will turn the scrub system off when the batteries are discharged to their minimum level. There are two different cutout levels to accommodate different battery types. See the service manual for details. The voltage levels for the various indications are as follows (the voltages shown represent the voltage under load):

INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR STANDARD CUTOUT LEVEL (AS SHIPPED)

Green indicator = full charge down to 34.00 volts

Green & Yellow indicator 33.99 volts down to 33.00 volts

Yellow indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.00 volts

Yellow & Red indicator = 31.99 volts down to 31.50 volts

Red indicator = 31.49 volts down to 31.00 volts

Flashing Red indicator = less than 31.00 volts – scrub system will shut down.

INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR ALTERNATE CUTOUT LEVEL

Green indicator = full charge down to 34.50 volts

Green & Yellow indicator 34.49 volts down to 34.00 volts Yellow indicator = 33.99 volts down to 33.50 volts Yellow & Red indicator = 33.49 volts down to 33.00 volts Red indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.5 volts

Flashing Red indicator = less than 32.5 volts – scrub system will shut down.

NOTE: Refer to service manual for selection of alternate cutout level.

NOTE: Once the low voltage cutout level has been reached (flashing red indicator) the batteries must be FULLY recharged (37.6 volts) to reset the battery condition indicator. The scrub system will not function until the indicator has been reset.

INSTALL THE BATTERIES

WARNING !

Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or flame.

When Servicing Batteries...

*Remove all jewelry.

*Do not smoke.

*Wear safety glasses, a rubber apron and rubber gloves.

*Work in a well-ventilated area.

*Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time.

CAUTION !

Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly. Batteries should be installed by Nilfisk-Advance or by a qualified electrician.

1Turn the Key Switch (J) off (O) and remove the key. Then swing open the Battery Compartment Cover (16).

2Using (2) people and an appropriate lifting strap, carefully lift the batteries into the compartment tray exactly as shown. Use decal 56015168 battery cable layout.

3See Figure 1. Install battery cables as shown and tighten the nuts on the battery terminals.

4Install the battery boots and secure tightly to the battery cables with the supplied tie straps.

5Connect the battery pack connector to the machine connector (22) and close the battery compartment cover.
