HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE
FOR OPERATION
How To Charge The Batteries
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases
which could explode. Keep sparks
and flames away from batteries. NO
SMOKING!
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 compartment
needs to be vented. To vent compartment, tip up the
recovery tank and rotate the tank support bracket,
located in the solution tank (see figure 8). Slowly lower
the recovery tank and let it rest on the support bracket
(see figure 9). To close the tank, lift up on the recovery
tank, rotate the support bracket down, then slowly lower
the tank to the closed position.
CAUTION: Before raising tank, be sure tank is
empty.
WARNING: Do not operate the machine while the
recovery tank is in the open position.
The tank can be accidentally bumped
and it may slam shut.
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 lights on the charger/battery meter to
ensure the charging process has started. Red, yellow
and green lights indicate state of charge. 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: Never charge a GEL battery with an
unsuitable battery charger. Carefully
follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the batteries and bat-
tery charger.
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries, avoid
their complete discharge. Never leave the batteries com-
pletely discharged, even if the machine is not being used.
When recharging the batteries, keep the recovery tank open.
Check the level of the electrolyte and if necessary top off with
distilled water.
