Please observe the following warning notes
when handling batteries:
ƽ Danger
Risk of explosion! Do not put tools or similar
on the battery, i.e. on the terminal poles
and cell connectors.
ƽ Danger
Risk of injury! Ensure that wounds never
come into contact with lead. Always clean
your hands after having worked with batter-
ies.
ƽ Danger
Risk of fire and explosion!
– Smoking and naked flames are strictly
prohibited.
– Rooms where batteries are charged
must have good ventilation because
highly explosive gas is emitted during
charging.
– Batteries must not be stored outside.
ƽ Danger
Danger of cautic material!
– Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
– Then consult a doctor immediately.
– Wash off the acid If it comes in contact
with the clothes.
Î Open the device hood.
Î Insert batteries into the battery mount.
Î Adjust the rubber buffers to hold the
batteries properly.
ṇ Warning
Pay attention to correct poles.
Note
The connection lines are not included in the
delivery scope.
Î Connect pole terminal (red cable) to
positive pole (+).
Î Screw the connection lines onto the
batteries.
Î Connect pole terminal to negative pole
(-).
Note
Before removing the battery, make sure
that the negative pole lead is disconnected.
Check that the battery pole and pole termi-
nals are adequately protected with pole
grease.
ṇ Warning
Charge the batteries before commissioning
the machine.
ƽ Danger
Risk of injury! Comply with safety regula-
tions on the handling of batteries. Observe
the directions provided by the manufacturer
of the charger.
ƽ Danger
Charge the battery only with an appropriate
charger.
Note
When the batteries are charged, first re-
move the charger from the mains and then
disconnect it from the batteries.
Î Open the device hood.
Î Separate the battery plug and connect
the charger cable.
Î Plug in power cord and switch on charg-
er.
Note
The recommended chargers (matching the
batteries used) are regulated electronically
and will automatically switch off the charg-
ing process. All functions of the machine
are automatically interrupted during the
charging process.
– While charging maintenance-free bat-
teries, it is necessary to tilt the appli-
ance hood upward.
– While charging maintenance-free bat-
teries, follow the specifications of the
battery manufacturer.
Î Add distilled water one hour before the
end of the charging process; follow the
correct acid level. There are corre-
sponding indicators on the battery.
ƽ Danger
Danger of chemical burns. Adding water to
the battery in its discharged state can
cause the acid to leak! Use safety glasses
while handling battery acid and follow the
safety instructions to avoid personal injury
or damage to clothes. Should the acid
spray on to the skin or clothes, rinse imme-
diately with lots of water.
ṇ Warning
Risk of damage. Use only distilled or de-
salinated water (VDE 0510) for filling the
battery. Do not add any substances (so-
called performance improving agents), else
warranty claims will not be entertained.
Î Switch off the charger and remove the
plug from the socket.
Î Pull the battery cable from the charger
cable and connect it to the appliance.
ṇ Warning
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 10.85 lbs/gal
(1.28 kg/l) at a temperature of 68 °F
(20 °C).
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 8.46
and 10.85 lbs/gal (1.00 and 1.28 kg/l).
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
Î Unscrew all cell caps.
Î Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
Î Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
Î Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
Î Charge battery.
Î Screw in cell caps.
ṇ Warning
Do not use a forklift truck to unload the ma-
chine as this may damage it.
