BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow or red warning light (62) turns on, or at the end of every working cycle.
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!
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.
While charging the battery, always keep the tank assembly open with the relevant stand (25).
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.
