BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow (37b) or red warning light (37c) turns on, or when fi nishing cleaning.
CAUTION!
Keeping the batteries charged make them last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes them last shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
Battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries in well-ventilated areas and
away from naked fl ames.
Do not smoke while charging the batteries.
While charging the battery, always keep the tank assembly open.
WARNING!
Be extremely careful when charging the batteries as there may be battery fl uid leakages. The battery fl uid is
corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and call a physician.
