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
flames away from batteries. NO
SMOKING!
CAUTION: See Charger Owner’s Manual. All
onboard battery chargers are
programmed for a specific type battery.
The charger may need reprogramming
to properly charge replacement
batteries different than the originally
equipped Clarke battery.
NOTE: Only replace batteries with the identical Clarke
battery pack as originally equipped. The correct Clarke
battery part number can be found on the Clarke battery
label affixed to the top of each battery.
If the replacement battery is a different Clarke battery,
please contact Clarke Technical Service, 1-800-356-7274,
for instructions.
If the replacement battery is not a Clarke battery, please
contact the charger manufacturer for instructions.
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Raise the seat base support.
3. Connect the battery charger AC cord to a properly
grounded wall receptacle matching plug configuration
(50/60 Hz).
4. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging process
has started (see figure 5, A - Red, B - Yellow, C - Green
). For color indications see figure 6.
Recharging the Batteries
The Scrubtec R comes with an on board charger.
1. Plug into any wall socket and charging is automatic.
2. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging process
has started (see figure 5, A - Red, B - Yellow, C - Green
). For color indications see figure 6.
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 base support of the
seat lifted. After every 20 recharging operations, check the
level of the electrolyte and if necessary top off with distilled
water.
