Charging Wet Batteries; Checking The Battery Water Level - Clarke Clean Track L24 Mode D'emploi

CHARGING WET BATTERIES

Charge the batteries each time the machine is used or when the Battery Indicator (D2) is reading less than full.
WARNING!
Do not fi ll the batteries before charging.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while servicing the batteries.
When Servicing Batteries...
• Remove all jewelry
• Do not smoke
• Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
• Work in a well-ventilated area
• Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
• ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable fi rst when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
• ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
To charge do the following:
Turn the Key Switch (A) OFF. Unwind the electrical cord from the side of the onboard charger and plug it into a properly grounded outlet. Refer to the OEM
product manual for more detailed operating instructions.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to fl oor surfaces, wipe water and acid from the top of the batteries after charging.

CHECKING THE BATTERY WATER LEVEL

Check the water level of the batteries at least once a week.
After charging the batteries, remove the vent caps and check the water level in each battery cell. Use distilled or demineralized water in a battery
fi lling dispenser (available at most auto parts stores) to fi ll each cell to the level indicator (or to 10 mm over the top of the separators). DO NOT
over-fi ll the batteries!
CAUTION!
Acid can spill onto the fl oor if the batteries are overfi lled.
Tighten the vent caps. Wash the tops of the batteries with a solution of baking soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 liter of water).
CHARGING GEL (VRLA) BATTERIES
Charge the batteries each time the machine is used or when the Battery Indicator (D2) is reading less than full.
WARNING!
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while servicing the batteries.
When Servicing Batteries...
• Remove all jewelry
• Do not smoke
• Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
• Work in a well-ventilated area
• Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
• ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable fi rst when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
• ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.
CAUTION!
Your voltage regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery will deliver superior performance and life ONLY IF IT RECHARGED PROPERLY!
Under or overcharging will shorten battery life and limit performance. Be sure to FOLLOW PROPER CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THIS BATTERY! If a VRLA battery is opened, it loses its pressure and the plates become oxygen
contaminated. THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED IF THE BATTERY IS OPENED.
To charge do the following:
Turn the Key Switch (A) OFF. Unwind the electrical cord from the side of the onboard charger and plug it into a properly grounded outlet. Refer to the OEM
product manual for more detailed operating instructions.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have an appropriate charger for use on Gel cell batteries. Use only "voltage-regulated" or "voltage-
limited" chargers. Standard constant current or taper current chargers MUST NOT be used. A temperature-sensing charger is
recommended, as manual adjustments are never accurate and will damage any VRLA battery.
