Routine Maintenance Battery Charging
Battery Charging
The battery is recharged whenever the pump is plugged in regardless of
whether the pump is on or off. However, for optimal charging, turn the pump
off. The Plug Icon is illuminated whenever the battery is charging. The
battery must be stored in a charged condition and, if stored for prolonged
periods, should be recharged at least every three months for 48 hours. To
charge the battery, simply plug the pump into a 115 VAC outlet.
Preventive Maintenance
Table 6-2 lists preventive maintenance for the pump, which should be
performed at the intervals shown.
Whenever the pump is in for service the battery’s capacity should be evaluated
because battery performance degrades through its life.
