WARNING!
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can
cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas
is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be
ignited by any electrical arc, spark or fl ame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a
sealed container or enclosure. Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed
to escape.
When Servicing Batteries...
•
Remove all jewelry
•
Do not smoke
•
Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
•
Work in a well-ventilated area
•
Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
•
ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable fi rst when replacing batteries to
prevent sparks.
•
ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are
not installed and connected properly. Nilfi sk-Advance, a qualifi ed electrician, or the
battery manufacturer should install batteries.
1
Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident, contact the carrier
that delivered them or the battery manufacturer to fi le a damage claim.
2
Turn the Master Key Switch (A) OFF and remove the key.
3
Tip the recovery tank to the side, locked position. Remove the battery cables from inside the battery compartment.
4
Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install four 6 volt batteries. Carefully lift the batteries into the battery
compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries as close to the back of the machine as possible.
5
Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
6
Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very diffi cult to
remove for future service.
7
Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
8
Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Battery Pack Connector (17).
When changing batteries or the charger, please contact your local authorized service center for correct battery, charger and machine
settings to prevent battery damage.
