Charging process
Caution:
Please pay careful attention to the instructions of
use provided by the manufacturer of the external
battery charging device.
Caution:
Each battery type and/or battery manufacturer re-
quires different charging characteristics.
Incorrect charging characteristics or the use of inappro-
priate chargers may result in early failure or the quick
destruction of batteries.
Notice:
Optionally available on-board chargers are adapted
to the battery size and contain several charging
curves, which are adjusted ex factory or by a TASKI
service technician for recommended batteries. This
regulation also applies for the use of stationary (ex-
ternal) chargers.
Caution:
Persistent short-term use with subsequent battery
charging may cause long-term damage to the bat-
teries.
- Standard value: At least approx. 20% of the available
capacity should be used up before recharging the bat-
tery.
Caution:
In order to achieve the maximum possible service
life, traction batteries must run through a complete
charging cycle (12-16 hours) twice a week.
Caution:
Before decommissioning the machine for a longer
period, the batteries must run through a complete
charging cycle. The charger is then disconnected
from the machine and/or mains. Batteries gradually
discharge. Depending on the type of battery, they
must be recharged after 3-6 months.
- Before recommissioning, the batteries should run
through another complete charging cycle.
Caution:
Disconnect the battery disconnection socket for a
longer shutdown of the machine.
Charging procedure with external charger
Notice:
Only chargers recommended by the battery manu-
facturer and certified according to SELV (safety ex-
tra-low voltage) may be used.
Danger:
Do not plug the charger into the machine while it is
under tension (charger switched on).
The user may be injured by electric shock.
Warning:
Charging cables transfer high currents. Do not use
the charger if there are any signs of damage to the
plug, cable, or device connection.
6
• Connect the external battery charger with the battery
charging plug of the machine.
Notice:
Make sure that the plug is inserted up to the stop in
order to ensure a good electrical contact.
Notice:
Check whether the plugged-in charger has started
the charging process.
Notice:
All machine functions are deactivated during
charging.
Charging procedure with (optional) on-board
charger
Caution:
The machine must be switched off (main switch)
and the battery disconnection plug must be discon-
nected.
• Take the power cord and connect it with a socket (with slow
fuse).
After charging
Warning:
Switch off the charger before disconnecting it from
the batteries.
Disconnecting the charger while it is still switched on
may cause an explosion in the battery compartment.
• Stow away the power cord for (optional) on-board chargers
in the provided compartment.
• Store the charging cable in a dry place where it is protected
against damage.
Maintenance and care of open (wet-cell) batter-
ies
Notice:
Caring for maintenance-free batteries only entails
following proper charging procedures and config-
uring the charging curve correctly.
Open battery compartment for maintenance
• The machine must be switched off.
Warning:
Before opening the battery compartment make sure
that both tank areas are empty.
• At the bottom left and right on the
front side of the machine you will find
the battery compartment release.
• Undo the screws.
