Battery
A fully charged battery provides approximately
5-8 hours use (at 25 °C, 77 °F) and the voltage
level is approximately 8,4V. When the battery is
about to wear out an indicator LED on the
controller burns steady red and the horn will
sound twice. Press the stop button before chang-
ing the battery. Note that the battery voltage
remains between 7,6V and 7,5V for a long time.
Therefore, the battery voltage cannot be used to
estimate remaining hours of use.
Battery charger
The battery charger is to be fitted in a protected
environment, preferably in the cab. Two batteries
are delivered with each unit, one of which can
always be placed in the charger.
LED
①
is lit continuously when the battery
charger is ready for use. Place the battery in the
charger. LED
②
flashes slowly during recharging
and has a steady light when the battery is fully
charged.
Charging time
The normal charging time for a flat battery, is
approximately 3 hours. Operating ambient temp:
Battery = 0° to + 45°C.
! NOTE
A charged battery is a concentrated energy
source. Never store a charged battery in a toolbox
or similar, where there is a risk of a short due to
contact with metal components. Used batteries
should be taken care of according to the local
regulations.
