Connect pole terminal (red cable) to
positive pole (+).
Screw the connection lines onto the
batteries.
Connect pole terminal to negative pole (-).
Note
Before removing the battery, make sure
that the negative pole lead is disconnected.
Check that the battery pole and pole termi-
nals are adequately protected with pole
grease.
WARNING
Charge the batteries before commissioning
the machine.
Charge the batteries
Danger
Risk of injury! Comply with safety regula-
tions on the handling of batteries. Observe
the directions provided by the manufacturer
of the charger.
DANGER
Charge the battery only with an appropriate
charger.
Note
When the batteries are charged, first re-
move the charger from the mains and then
disconnect it from the batteries.
Open the device hood.
Separate the battery plug and connect
the charger cable.
Plug in power cord and switch on charger.
Note
The recommended chargers (matching the
batteries used) are regulated electronically
and will automatically switch off the charg-
ing process. All functions of the machine
are automatically interrupted during the
charging process.
Low maintenance batteries
Add distilled water one hour before the
end of the charging process; follow the
correct acid level. There are corre-
sponding indicators on the battery.
DANGER
Danger of causticization! Adding water to
the battery in its discharged state can
cause the acid to leak.
Wear protective glasses and protective
clothing when handling battery acid. Ob-
serve the regulations concerning the han-
dling of batteries!
DANGER
Danger of caustic material!
Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
–
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
Then consult a doctor immediately.
–
Change clothing.
–
Wash off the acid If it comes in contact
–
with the clothes.
Warning
Risk of damage. Use only distilled or desal-
inated water (VDE 0510) for filling the bat-
tery. Do not add any substances (so-called
performance improving agents), else war-
ranty claims will not be entertained.
After charging
Switch off the charger and remove the
plug from the socket.
Pull the battery cable from the charger
cable and connect it to the appliance.
Check and correct the fluid level of the
battery (only for low-maintenance bat-
teries)
Warning
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
The acid in a fully charged battery has a
–
specific weight of 10.85 lbs/gal
(1.28 kg/l) at a temperature of 68 °F
(20 °C).
The acid in a partially discharged bat-
–
tery has a specific weight between 8.46
and 10.85 lbs/gal (1.00 and 1.28 kg/l).
The specific weight of the acid must be
–
uniform in all cells.
Unscrew all cell caps.
Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
Charge battery.
Screw in cell caps.
