BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE
Charge the batteries when the yellow or red LED (68) turns on, or at the end of each working cycle.
Keeping the batteries charged make their life last longer.
CAUTION!
When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that condition makes their life shorter.
Check for battery charge at least once a week.
WARNING!
When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Charge the
batteries in well-ventilated areas and away from naked flames.
Do not smoke while charging the batteries.
Do not reinstall the recovery tank until the battery charging cycle is over.
WARNING!
Pay careful attention when charging WET batteries as there may be battery fluid leakages. The battery fluid is
corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult a physician.
