Maintenance and Service
5.4.1 Charging batteries
The charge control indicator (Fig. 7/2)
indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries during operation. The batteries
must be charged immediately the red
LED lights up. The batteries (Fig. 7/7)
are charged using the integrated bat-
tery charger (Fig. 7/3). The charger is
connected by means of the power cable
(Fig. 7/4). While the battery is being
charged, the battery indicator on the
charger (Fig. 7/1) lights up.
Before starting the machine up
for the first time, the batteries
to be used must be fully
charged, properly, by imple-
menting the initial battery
charge routine.
Minuteman
assumes no liability for damage
to the battery caused by a fault
when the battery is charged
for the first time.
5.4.2 Total discharge signal trans-
ducer (TSG)
The machine is equipped with a total
discharge signal transducer to protect
the batteries against total discharge.
The total discharge signal transducer is
integrated in the electronics. If other
batteries are used, the total discharge
signal transducer must be adjusted.
The total discharge signal
transducer may only be adjust-
ed by an authorized
Minuteman
service center.
