Machine Charging
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS
SWITCHED OFF PRIOR TO CHARGING.

The battery meter displays the charge level of the batteries; when fully charged, all meter lights
are illuminated (see Fig.38).
As the machine is used and the batteries are discharged, the meter lights will go out from
right to left.
If the battery-charge level is allowed to discharge to the point that only the red light remains
illuminated, the operator must consider charging the machine.
If the battery-charge level is allowed to discharge to the point that only one red light remains
illuminated (and begins to flash), all cleaning functions will automatically be disabled and the
operator should drive the machine straight to a suitable charge point.
The large capacity gel batteries are sealed for life and are totally maintenance free.
The on-board charger automatically monitors the charging process and will switch off when the
batteries are fully charged.
The machine charging point is located under the top tank. (see Fig.39).
Insert the charging lead required for your country (see start up pack) into the charging point
and connect to a suitable power supply (see Fig.40).
Once mains power is connected the red charging indicator will illuminate.
To ensure a full charge, the machine should be left for a period of 8-12hrs.
Once fully charged, disconnect the charging lead from both the power supply and the machine.
