How To Charge The Batteries
WARNING:
WARNING:
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Before charging the batteries, the battery compart-
ment needs to be vented. To vent compartment, tip
up the recovery tank until it locks in the open
position (see figure #8). To close the tank, pull up
on the arm and then slowly lower the tank to the
closed position.
CAUTION:
WARNING:
3. Connect the battery charger AC cord located at the
rear of the machine to a 15 amp (min) 120V properly
grounded wall receptacle.
4. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging pro-
cess has started. Flashing light(s) indicates that
the batteries are being charged. Steady on green
light indicates the batteries are fully charged.
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:
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 recovery
tank open. After every 20 recharging cycles, check the
level of the electrolyte and if necessary top off with
distilled water.

Operator's Manual - FOCUS S28/L28/S33/L33/S38/L38 WB
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.
Lead acid batteries generate
gases which could explode.
Keep sparks and flames away
from batteries. NO SMOKING!
Before raising tank, be sure tank
is empty.
Do not operate or perform main-
tenance on the machine while
the recovery tank is in the open
position. The tank can be acci-
dentally bumped and it may slam
shut.
Never charge a GEL battery with
an unsuitable battery charger.
Carefully follow the instructions
given by the manufacturer of the
batteries and battery charger.
