IMPORTANT: Before attempting to operate the machine for
the first time, check the battery date. The battery date
will tell you if the battery needs to be charged.
1. Tip the seat forward to access the battery.
2. Check the top of the battery for the battery date.
3. If the battery is put into service before the battery date,
then the battery does not have to be charged.
4. If the battery is put into service after the battery date,
then the battery must be charged. See Step 5.
5. To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules section of this document.
Charge the battery until fully charged (until the specific
gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the
electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge
at a rate higher than 10 amps.
