PREVENTING BATTERY RUNDOWN (FOR
LONG TERM STORAGE)
Machines that will be parked/stored for more than two weeks must
either be maintained by the onboard battery charger or discon-
nected� The battery charger must be plugged into a 120V wall
outlet with an extension cord� The battery charger will automati-
cally maintain the batteries� If this option is not feasible, the bat-
teries must be disconnected. Simply turning o the DC disconnect
switch does not eliminate the parasitic draw on the batteries on
certain machines�
For machines with Xantrex Battery Charger:
Turn OFF the DC disconnect switch on the Drive panel�
Check if there is a connector on the battery charger output, if so,
squeeze the two catches on the one connector to disconnect them
from each other� The machine is now ready for storage� If the
machine doesn’t have this connector proceed to Step 1�
Step 1 - Ensure the DC disconnect switch on the Drive panel is
OFF�
Step 2 - Remove the 4 thumb screw knobs and washers that
secure the guard over top of the batteries� Remove the guard
and place it on the machine in a safe place� Reinstall the thumb
screws and washers to prevent them from being lost�
Step 3 - Remove the battery cable that joins the two batteries to-
gether� Place the jumper cable with the guard previously removed�
Spin the two nuts used to secure the cable to the battery, back
onto the battery terminal studs to prevent them from being lost�
The machine is now ready for storage�
Prior to the machine being taken out of long storage, reverse the
process so the machine can start�
For machines with NOCO Battery Charger:
Turn OFF the DC disconnect switch on the side of the Drive
Panel, no other steps are necessary� The machine is now ready
for storage�
REMOVING A UNIT FROM STORAGE
Prior to placing a unit back into service after either short-term or
long-term storage, the operator must complete an overall inspec-
tion of the machine to ensure it is in proper working condition�
Please read the “Daily Operation Checklist” section of Document:
860-7104 DTB Operation Manual� Beware that this checklist is
not a complete list of items that should be inspected� The opera-
tor should perform other inspections as appropriate per each
individual situation�
Ensure the machine is clean and free of debris prior to placing
back in service� Directions for this cleaning process are located
in the “Cleaning Instructions” section of Document: 860-7104
DTB Operation Manual� Operators are ultimately responsible
for ensuring unit is in proper working condition in accordance
with manufacturer’s specications. Do not operate or move the
machine if problems are detected� Report defects to your supervi-
sor immediately�
