Battery Charging - Clarke RSW 37 Manuel D'utilisation

BATTERY CHARGING

CAUTION!
Charge the batteries when the yellow (74) or red warning light (73) turns on and at the end of each cleaning
cycle. Keeping the batteries charged make them last longer.
WARNING!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes them last
shorter.
WARNING!
If the machine is equipped with lead (WET) batteries, 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 batteries always keep the hood open.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging WET 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.
