It is possible to "fool" the battery charger by jumping the machine’s 36 volt
battery pack with another 36 volt source such as used in a floor scrubber.
Once the charger sees more than 24 volts it will turn "on" and should
remain so after the jumper cable has been remove. If it does not remain
on after the jumper source is removed, likely the batteries are beyond their
useful life. Use extreme caution if using this method to recharge batteries.
5)
The battery charger is defective.
Check fuses and replace if necessary. If fuses fail again, the fault lies
within the system.
Special notes on the Charger
(before sn 656): When the charger cord is first plugged
into an electrical outlet, there will be a delay of about one or two seconds before the
charger turns "on" and the meter shows a current reading. Once the charger is "on" it
will remain charging until there is no voltage increase across the battery terminals. The
change (increase) in voltage must be at least 15 mv in a 40 minute time period in order
for the charger to remain on. If the charger does not read at least a 15 mv increase
(battery is then fully charged), it will turn off automatically in about 40 minutes. If the
charger has turned itself "off" automatically, unplugging it and then re-plugging it back
into the receptacle will restart the charging cycle. It will therefore remain "on" for at
least another 40 minutes. A fully charged battery pack could read as high as 44 volts
for a period of time after charging.
