ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS
The battery condition indicators will give an indication of the state of charge of the batteries. The battery condition monitor will retain
the state-of-charge even if the key has been turned off. The state-of-charge indication is reset to full charge when the batteries have
been recharged. It is also possible to choose between two different low voltage thresholds depending on whether maintenance-free or
standard batteries are being used.
Have qualified service engineer perform this selection*
. NOTE: The following percentages are
based on
useable
battery capacity not total battery capacity. Therefore, 100% discharge = 80% of total battery capacity for standard
wet cell batteries or 70% of total battery capacity for maintenance free batteries.
Green Indicator
= full charge down to 50% discharge
Green & Yellow Indicator
= 50% discharge down to 75% discharge
Yellow Indicator
= 75% discharge down to 90% discharge
Yellow & Red Indicator
= 90% discharge down to 95% discharge
Red Indicator
= 95% discharge down to 99% discharge
Flashing Red Indicator
= 100% discharge - scrub system will automatically shut down
* Important Note:
See the
Main Control Board Special Program Options
manual section (located in the electrical system) and follow
the instructions for setting the low voltage cutout threshold.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Charge the batteries each time the machine is used, or whenever the Battery Condition Meter
(31)
is showing anything other than a green
indicator light.
To Charge the Batteries...
1
Depress the Battery Disconnect
(12)
.
2
Open the Battery Compartment Cover
(15)
to provide proper ventilation.
3
Push the connector from the charger into the Battery Connector connected to the battery pack.
4
Follow the instructions on the battery charger.
5
Check the fluid level in all battery cells after charging the batteries. Add distilled water, if necessary, to bring the fluid level up to
the bottom of the filler tubes.
WARNING!
Do not fill the batteries before charging.
Only charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke while servicing the batteries.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to floor surfaces, always wipe water and acid from the top of the batteries after charging.
