enable it to completely re-charge the batteries and
automatically turn off after the cycle is completed.
Figure 11.4 - On-Board Battery Charger
The battery charger is fitted with an “interlock”. This
means that during the charging cycle all functions
on the machine are inoperative and will remain so
until the charger is switched off.
The charging cycle may last from 1 to 12 hours
depending on the state of the batteries. If the
charging cycle should exceed 16 hours ( indicating
a fault) the charger will automatically shut down
and the batteries should be checked.
DO NOT re-charge the batteries unless the
electrolyte level has been checked.
DO NOT allow smoking, flames or sparks around
batteries.
DO ENSURE the covers are in the open position
during charging to allow gasses to escape.
