BATTERYSHIELD® AUTOMATIC WET BATTERY PROTECTION SYSTEM
Scrubbers equipped with BatteryShield® technology have a sensor on the battery pack and a red LED indicator on the
control panel which monitor and communicate low water conditions.
1.
When batteries are fully charged and the key is turned on, BatteryShield® will check the water level
o
If the LED remains off, there is sufficient water in the batteries
o
A solid red LED means BatteryShield® senses a low-water level. The brush motor will be disabled to
prevent battery damage
o
A blinking red LED means the BatteryShield® light pipe needs to be cleaned (see below)
NOTE:
Failure to clean the HydroLink® light pipe will limit BatteryShield’s® ability to read the
water level and will reduce battery life
2.
Turn the key off and use the HydroLink single-point battery watering system to fill the batteries
NOTE:
Battery packs equipped with BatteryShield® may take
more than ½ gallon of water
after
the BatteryShield® LED has illuminated.
Failure to pump the HydroLink™ bulb until it
will no longer compress may result in uneven battery servicing and premature battery
failure
3.
After completing the HydroLink™ watering procedure, cycle the key to verify the LED stays off
