Check the Battery - DC Models
Proper battery condition is essential to good
machine performance and operational safety.
Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and
connections can result in component damage and
hazardous conditions.
Batteries contain acid. Avoid
spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with
baking soda and water.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Slide open the battery cover to access the
charger and the battery. The cover must
remain open for the entire charging cycle.
3 Remove the battery vent caps and check the
specific gravity with a hydrometer.
4 Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water to cover the
battery plates. Do not overfill.
5 Install the battery vent caps.
6 Set timer based on the amount of use:
Light Use—less than 15 lifting cycles: Set to 7
hours.
Heavy Use—greater than 15 lifting cycles: Set
to the
ON
position.
7 The charger will automatically shut off at the
end of the set period.
Note: If ammeter drops to 3A or less within the first
15 minutes, the battery is fully charged.
8 Observe charger ammeter after one hour to
confirm charging amperage has dropped.
Note: If amperage does not drop, the battery is bad
and needs to be replaced.
