BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow (A, Fig. 37) or red
warning light (B) turns on, or when finishing cleaning.
CAUTION!
Keeping the batteries charged make their life last
longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as
soon as possible, as that condition makes their life
shorter. Check for battery charge at least once a
week.
WARNING!
WET battery charging produces highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries in well-ventilated
areas and away from naked flames. Do not smoke
while charging the batteries.
Keep the tank open while charging the batteries.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging the batteries as
there may be battery fluid leakages. The battery fluid
is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes,
rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
