Maintenance and Care
5.4.1 Charging Batteries
Use the integrated battery charger
(Fig. 7/3) to charge batteries. Connect the
charger by means of the mains cable (Fig.
7/4) with safety plug. Charging batteries is
recommended if at least one bar of the LDS
display has extinguished after operation of
the machine. Observe the operating
instructions of the charger 88-60-2723 as
well as the operating instructions of the
battery manufacturer. If the battery type is
changed (ex. from lead acid to gel) the
charger has to be adjusted by a Minuteman
contract workshop.
Charge the batteries properly
before starting the machine for the
first time. Minuteman cannot be
held liable for battery damage
resulting from failure to initially
charge batteries.
Provide for sufficient ventilation of
areas where batteries are
charged. – Explosion hazard!
5.4.2 Low Discharge Signal sender
(LDS)
The machine has been equipped with a
charge indicator to preclude the batteries
from low discharge. This low discharge
signal sender has been integrated into the
electronics. If other batteries are used, re-
adjustment of the low discharge signal
sender is required.
5.4.3 Maintenance of Drive Batteries
Refer to operating instructions 88-60-2556
for information on care of drive batteries.
5.4.4 Removing Batteries
1 Park machine on level ground.
2 Switch off machine by key switch.
3 Open empty recovery tank (Fig. 7/7) and
secure by support (Fig. 7/8).
4 Disconnect battery connector (Fig. 7/ 5).
5 Disconnect battery connection cables.
6 Remove batteries.
5.4.5 Installing Batteries
1 Switch off machine by key switch.
2 Open empty recovery tank (Fig. 7/7) and
secure by support (Fig. 7/8).
3 Place batteries according to figure.
4 Connect battery poles and enclosed con-
necting cables according to wiring diagram
(Fig. 7/9). Tighten fasteners and grease
poles.
5.4.6 Disposal of Batteries
Used batteries labelled by the recycling
symbol contain re-usable substances. Such
batteries must not be added to normal
household waste. Obtain local information
for the proper disposal of used batteries.
Only Minuteman contract
workshops are authorized to adjust
the low discharge signal sender.
Due to alteration of the center of
gravity, only use batteries as released
and at the prescribed position.
