Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging.
4.Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell. Before charging, add just enough distilled water to cover the plates. After charging is complete, add just enough distilled water to bring up the level to the indicator ring. If the water level is too high before charging, normal expansion rate of the electrolyte may cause an overflow. Resulting in a loss of battery acid balance and damage the machine.
5.Replace the battery caps, and leave them in place while charging.
6.Unplug the battery connector from the machine.
FOR SAFETY: When charging, connect the charger to the batteries before connecting the charger to the AC wall outlet. Never connect the charger to the AC wall outlet first. Hazardous sparks may result.
7.Plug the charger connector into the battery connector. Connect the charger AC plug to a wall outlet. The charger gauge should indicate that the batteries are charging.
8.When the batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger from the batteries.
9.Connect the batteries to the machine connector.
10.Check the electrolyte level. It should be up to the indicator ring. If necessary, add distilled water.
11.Lower the battery cover.
MAINTENANCE
CHANGING BATTERIES
Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger. Turn off machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key.
1.Raise the battery cover.
2.Disconnect battery pack from machine.
3.Use the proper size open end wrench to disconnect main ground wire first and secure cable terminal away from batteries.
4.Disconnect main positive lead and secure cable terminals away from batteries.
5.Loosen both terminals on each jumper cable and remove one at a time.
6.Prepare a suitable site to place the batteries.
7.Attach suitable battery lifting device and lift batteries from the machine.
