HOW TO PREPARE THE MACHINE
FOR OPERATION
How To Charge The Batteries
WARNING: Charging the batteries in an area without ad-
equate 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 fl ames away
from batteries. NO SMOKING!
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 and rotate
the tank support bracket, located in the solution tank (see fi gure 8).
Slowly lower the recovery tank and let it rest on the support bracket
(see fi gure 9). To close the tank, lift up on the recovery tank, rotate
the support bracket down, then slowly lower the tank to the closed
position.
CAUTION: Before raising tank, be sure tank is empty.
WARNING: Do not operate the machine while the recovery
tank is in the open position. The tank can be
accidentally bumped and it may slam shut.
If your machine shipped without an onboard battery charger do the following:
3a. Plug the required adapter cable into the connector from the battery charger. Disconnect the batteries from the machine and push
the connector from the adapter plug into the Battery Pack Connector. Follow the instructions on the battery charger. SERVICE
NOTE: Make sure you plug the battery charger into the connector that attaches to the batteries.
If your machine shipped with an onboard battery charger do the following:
3b. Connect the battery charger AC cord located at the rear of the machine to a 15 amp (min) 120V properly grounded wall recep-
tacle.
4. Observe indicator lights on the charger/battery meter to ensure the charging process has started. Red, yellow and green lights
indicate state of charge. Steady on green light indicates the batteries are fully charged.
NOTE: Make sure you plug into a circuit that is not loaded by other equipment. Wall breakers may be tripped and no charge will oc-
cur.
WARNING: Never charge any battery with an unsuitable battery charger. Carefully follow the instructions given by
the manufacturer of the batteries and battery charger.
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries, avoid their complete discharge. Never leave the batteries completely dis-
charged, even if the machine is not being used. When recharging the batteries, keep the recovery tank open. Check the level of the
electrolyte and if necessary top off with distilled water.
