BATTERY CHARGE

(See Fig. J)
NOTE
Charge the batteries when the warning light
(6, Fig. A) turns on and at the end of every
cleaning.
Keeping the batteries charged make their
life last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, recharge
them as soon as possible, as that condition
makes their life shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a
week.
CAUTION!
The battery charger must be appropriate for
the battery installed on the machine.
WARNING!
Battery charging produces explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries only in
well-ventilated areas and far from naked
flames. Do not smoke during battery
charging.
Keep the tank assembly open while
recharging the battery.
WARNING!
Pay attention during battery recharging
because there can be battery fluid leakages.
The battery fluid is corrosive. If it comes in
contact with the skin or eyes, rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a
physician.
