Operation
Flashing or individually lit LEDs
indicate an error status, also
refer to the charger operating
manual.
Battery discharge status (Fig. 10/3)
During operation, the machine electron-
ics indicates the discharge status of the
battery by means of a red LED (left) and
three green LEDs (right).
When all three green LEDs light up, the
batteries are fully charged. As the bat-
teries become progressively discharg-
es, the LEDs go out in succession from
right to left. When the last green LED
goes out, the red LED starts to flash
(early warning of imminent shutdown).
After a certain time, the red LED lights
up continuously indicating the "battery
empty" status. Shortly afterwards, the
drive motor is automatically switched off
to protect the battery from a total dis-
charge.
The machine should only be restarted
when the battery have been charged.

tions.
