How To Prepare the Machine For Operation
• Absorption Stage - In the absorption stage the red
and green light will be illuminated on the charger
(See Figure 17). During this stage the charger
maintains constant voltage and lets the batteries
absorb the charge at their own rate.
• Float and Maintenance Stage - In the mainte-
nance stage the red light turns off and only the
green light will be illuminated on the charger (See
Figure 17. During this stage the charger applies a
lower, closely regulated voltage to maintain full
charge and prevents discharge. Batteries can be
connected indefinitely without harm.
8. Unplug charger power cord from the wall outlet before
powering up control panel on machine. Store the
charger power cord in the storage compartment
located under the control handle (See Figure 16).
9. Unlatch and stow prop rod back in solution tank and
close recovery tank after charging has been com-
pleted.
