BATTERY INFORMATION

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1. When cleaning batteries use a solution of baking
soda and water. (Do not allow cleaning fluid to
enter inside battery cells.)
2. Keep a proper electrolyte level in battery cells.
3. Wipe down the battery tops at least once a
week. If a cell should accidentally overflow,
clean immediately.
4. Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.
5. Ensure that all connections are tight and that all
corrosion is removed.
6. Every 4 to 6 months remove batteries from the
machine and clean the battery compartment.
BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
Charge the batteries once the amber charge level
light comes on. The amber light indicates that there
is about 20% charge left in the batteries. Do not let
the batteries completely drain before charging.
Avoid charging the batteries before the amber light
comes on. The machine will run for hours on fully
charged, well maintained batteries.
DO NOT SMOKE, HAVE OPEN FLAMES, OR
SPARKS NEAR BATTERIES AT ANY TIME.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
CHARGE BATTERIES IN A WELL-VENTILATED
AREA WITH DECK DOWN AND COVER OPEN.
1. Use a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output, D.C.
charger that turns itself off, when batteries are
fully charged. The charger must have a
connector that matches the machine battery
connection.
2. Read the instructions and warnings provided by
the battery charger manufacturer.
3. Set the charger in a well-ventilated area on a
level surface. Make sure cords will easily reach
outlets on both machine and wall.
4. Connect charger to D.C. outlet on machine
first.
5. Connect the A.C. power cord to properly
grounded wall socket. NEVER MAKE THE A.C.
CONNECTION FIRST, HAZARDOUS SPARKS
MAY RESULT.
6. After the batteries are completely charged
disconnect the charger from the A.C. wall
socket.
7. Once the charger is disconnected from the A.C.
wall socket, it is safe to disconnect the charger
from the machine.
8. When the batteries are fully charged, check the
electrolyte level by removing, the caps on top of
the batteries. If necessary fill the cells with
distilled water as shown in the diagram below.
Be careful not to overfill cells.
