How to Charge the Batteries

WARNING: Charging the batteries in an area
without adequate ventilation could
result in an explosion. To prevent
an explosion, charge the batteries
only in an area with good
ventilation.
WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases
which could explode. Keep sparks
and flames away from batteries.
NO SMOKING!
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Raise the seat base support.
3. Connect the battery charger AC cord to a 15 amp
(min) 120V properly grounded wall receptacle.
4. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging
process has started (see figure 6, A - Red, B -
Yellow, C - Green ). For color indications see figure
6A.

Recharging the Batteries

The Focus Rider Scrubber comes with an on board
charger.
1. Plug into any wall socket and charging is automatic.
2. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging
process has started (see figure 6, A - Red, B -
Yellow, C - Green ). For color indications see figure
6A.
NOTE: Make sure you plug into a circuit that is not loaded
by other equipment. Wall breakers may be tripped and
no charge will occur.
WARNING: Never charge a GEL battery with an
unsuitable battery charger.
Carefully follow the instructions
given by the manufacturer of the
batteries and battery charger.
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries,
avoid their complete discharge. Never leave the batteries
completely discharged, even if the machine is not being
used. When recharging the batteries, keep the base
support of the seat lifted. After every 20 recharging
operations, check the level of the electrolyte and if
necessary top off with distilled water.
Level Indicators for the Charge of the Batteries
The battery meter ( see figure 7) on the control panel has
a digital read out with 10 fixed positions (A) and also a
blinking indicator (B). The bars that appear on the display
show the approximate charge level with icon (blinking)
discharged battery.
NOTE: A few seconds after the voltage reads 32V it will
start blinking. The brush motors will then automatically
switch off.
