10. OPERATION
10.1 OPTIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS TO CONSERVE THE BATTERY CAPACITY
10.1.1 RECOMMENDED SPEEDS
When working with the loader with the basic shovel, we recommend setting the machine to slow speed (tortoise). For fine
handling of heavy objects when loading or unloading, slow speed is also recommended. For other types of work with the
loader, the settings must be made and adjusted according to the type of task at hand. As a rule, when working with the
loader, the lower the speed, the more substantial the savings on battery capacity. A higher speed (hare) is recommended
when travelling with the machine over longer distances.
10.1.2 DRIVING STYLE
The battery capacity is also significantly affected by the actual driving style. As far as the situation allows it, it is recommended
to turn with the machine in a style around the entire radius, that is, with the track on one side of the loader not moving,
or moving at low speed, and rotating on the other side of the machine. In this way, the loader turns economically. It is
uneconomical to turn around the axis, which is with the tracks on each side moving in the opposite direction from the other
side. This will result in a sharp drop in battery capacity.
10.1.3 SURFACE
The surface on which the loader operates also affects the battery capacity greatly. The loader has rough-terrain tracks
mounted as a factory standard, specifically tracks with a sparse and high tread pattern. However, this track is not suitable
for tarmac or concrete as it is soft, has great rolling resistance and it slips. Where the machine is expected to operate mostly
on paved surfaces such as tarmac or concrete, it is recommended to equip the loader with tracks for paved surfaces to
avoid heavy strain on the battery and severe wear of the tracks.

Caution
Risk of damage to components!
A deformed or damaged battery plug may cause overheating and subsequent damage.
Danger of explosion if hydrogen accumulates inside the loader
Hydrogen from the battery compartment may enter the loader through unsealed openings in
the cabin.
Accumulated hydrogen may cause an explosion.
There must be no unsealed openings in the cabin. Sealing the openings with plugs does not provide an additional barrier
to gas leakage.
Danger
Distractions while working with the machine may result in loss of control over the machine.
Exercise extreme caution when using any devices while working with the machine. Distractions
while working with the machine may result in injury or death.

Danger
A machine fire can cause injury or death. Exposed battery cables that come into contact with a
grounded connection may cause a fire. Replace cables and similar components that show signs
of wear or damage. Contact the manufacturer.
10.2 BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE OF THE CHARGING EQUIPMENT
1.
Before connecting the battery to the charger, check the integrity of the contacts, connecting cables, connectors and auxiliary
systems.
2. Connect the battery to the charger, observing the correct polarity.
3. The batteries may only be connected to designated chargers approved for the type concerned.
4. Observe the full charging time, i.e. until the full charge indication on the charger.
5. Charging starts automatically once the connectors are mutually engaged.
6. Disengage the connectors in the off state (when not energized) – press the STOP button.
7.
Replenish the distilled water in the battery each time it is charged. In the event of water losses and leakage when
replenishing, report this to service.
8. Read the instructions for using the assigned equipment carefully and thoroughly.
9. Report any damage to or malfunction of the charging equipment to your supervisor and service.
OPERATION
$ Connect the power cord to the 230 V AC mains.
$ Use cables to connect the battery to the charger and check that the polarity is not reversed.
$ Check that the four LEDs light up in sequence. This confirms that the device is receiving power and that the LEDs
are working properly (automatic diagnostic test).
$ When the battery is properly connected and the charger is not in autostart mode, the DL1 LED is lit (signal
battery is connected).
$ To start the charging process, press the P1 button on the front panel.
$ If the autostart function is on, the charger starts charging five seconds after the battery is connected (signalled
by flashing DL3 and DL4 LEDs).
$ In the event of a power failure, the charging process stops and the card switches off; after a power failure restart,
the card is reset and the charging process starts from the beginning.
$ When the battery is connected, the charging process is interrupted. After the battery is reconnected, the charger
can continue with the charging process (the SW1.6 switch is off), or starts it again from the beginning (SW1.6).
$ Please note that in order to avoid electric sparks, do not disconnect the batteries during the charging process.
After connecting the battery, start the charging process with the ON/OFF button.

LIST OF ALARMS
Alarm A1 – charging control alarm.
The AP070 card is equipped with a single safety timer that controls the first stage of charging.
If the battery does not reach the set voltage limit (2.4 V/cell) within the expected time Ti (11 hours) from the initial charging,
the alarm interrupts the charging process, which is signalled by the red DL4 LED lighting up. Check the battery and charger.
A2 – transformer disconnection alarm.
The transformer is equipped with a cutout in the primary winding with a contact that opens when the transformer
temperature exceeds 150 °C. This is indicated by the red DL4 LED flashing very fast.
Check the mains voltage and whether the charger has been assigned to the battery. Follow the Wa tables (16 A x 100 AN).
