BATTERIES - CONTINUED
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly.
Batteries should be installed by Nilfisk or by a qualified electrician.
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 file a damage claim.
2
Turn the Power Switch (H) OFF and remove the Magnetic SmartKey (39).
Rotate the Battery Compartment Latch (20) to unlock then tip the seat forward (the gas spring holds the seat open).
3
4
If installed remove the overhead guard.
5
For additional access the recovery tank can be removed from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the recovery hose, vacuum motor wiring and
warning beacon wiring then lift the tank straight up and off the machine, using two people or an overhead hoist.
6
Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install six 6 volt batteries. Using at least (2) people and an appropriate
lifting strap, carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 2-1. Secure the batteries
as close to the rear and right side of the machine as possible. Use battery spacer to keep batteries from moving. If installing a mono-block
battery use an overhead hoist.
7
Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
IMPORTANT!: The protective caps supplied with the batteries need to be left on or re-used to completely cover the portion of the
battery terminals that are not being protected by the battery cable terminal cover boots supplied with the battery cables. This also
applies to the in-line fuse holder boot.
8
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 difficult
to remove for future service.
9
Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
10 Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Machine Battery Connector (19).
11 Make sure the fuse holder boot is covering the fuse holder, the cable end of the Machine Battery Connector (19), and as much of the battery
terminal as possible. Leave the protective caps supplied with the batteries in place or re-use to cover the terminal areas not protected by the
terminal cover boots.
When changing batteries or the charger, please contact your local authorized service center for correct battery, charger and machine
settings to prevent battery damage.
