Protections against other causes
NOTICE:
The main power lamp blinks in green
and red alternately when the abnormality occurs
in the machine. In this case, refer to the section
for troubleshooting.
Protection system is also designed for other causes that
could damage the machine and allows the machine to
stop automatically. Take all the following steps to clear
the causes, when the machine has been brought to a
temporary halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the machine off, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the machine and battery(ies) cool down.
NOTICE:
If no improvement can be found or
the machine stops due to a cause not described
above, refer to the section for troubleshooting.
Indicating the remaining battery
capacity
CAUTION:
Before checking the remaining
battery capacities or switching the battery car-
tridges, be sure to stop the machine.
CAUTION:
When the battery capacity
becomes low, a short beep sound is emitted. In
this case, lock the brake lever, and then switch
the battery cartridges to charged ones or charge
the battery cartridges. If you continue to operate the
machine at low battery capacity and the remaining
battery capacity runs out, a long beep sound is emit-
ted and the machine automatically stops and this may
cause an accident or injury.
CAUTION:
If the beep sound is emitted while
operating on slopes, move the machine to a safe
place, lock the brake lever, and then switch the
battery cartridges to charged ones or charge the
battery cartridges.
CAUTION:
If the load is large and the beep
sound is emitted while operating on slopes, lock
the brake lever and pay attention to safety and
switch the battery cartridges to charged ones.
Move the machine to a safe place and lock the
brake lever. Reduce the load before operating the
machine again. For details, refer to the section for
troubleshooting.
