How To Charge The Batteries (On-Board Charger
Option)
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!
CAUTION:
See Charger Owner's Manual. All
onboard battery chargers are
programmed for a specific type
battery. The charger may need
reprogramming to properly charge
replacement batteries different than
the originally equipped Clarke
battery.
NOTE: Only replace batteries with the identical Clarke
battery pack as originally equipped. The correct Clarke
battery part number can be found on the Clarke battery
label affixed to the top of each battery.
If the replacement battery is a different Clarke battery,
please contact Clarke Technical Service, 1-800-356-
7274, for instructions.
If the replacement battery is not a Clarke battery,
please contact the charger manufacturer for
instructions.
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 until it locks in the open position (see figure
14A & 14B). To close the tank, pull up on the arm and
then slowly lower the tank to the closed position.
CAUTION:
Before raising tank, be sure tank is
empty.
WARNING:
Do not operate or perform mainte-
nance on the machine while the re-
covery 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.
