Maintenance
Servicing the battery
The machine is equipped with a sealed “maintenance-
free” battery. The battery has an inspection hole that
displays different colours:
• Green = OK.
• White = Charge the battery.
• Red = Replace the battery.
Clean the battery and holder with soap water solution. Discarded / replaced batteries must be handled as
environmentally hazardous waste.
Fuses
The machine’s electrical system is fused by three
different types of fuse:
1. Automatic fuses; These reset automatically after a
short-circuit in the circuit. No corrective action
required by the operator.
2. Fusible link of the high output type; Replaced by
the operator.
FU12 is located in a box on a bracket behind the battery
and FU13 in a box on the top of battery's positive pole.
FU12 50 A Supply fuse for the printed circuit board.
FU13 125 A Main fuse.
If FU12 blows only the indicator panel works.
If FU13 blows the entire machine will be dead.
Replacing fuses: Open the box cover and replace the
fuse, which is secured by two nuts.
3. The fusible links are of the flat pin type. Replaced
by the operator.
These fuses are located in two places. One fuse
behind the battery:
