5.4.1 Charging batteries
Before starting the vehicle up
for the first time, the batteries
to
be used must be properly
charged by implementing the
initial battery charge routine,
refer to Section 2.2. Hako as-
sumes no liability for damage
to
the battery caused by a fault
when the battery is charged for
the first time.
There must be sufficient venti-
lation in the charging area - risk
of exp
losion!
The seat console (Fig. 22/5)
must be open during the bat-
tery charging process to pre-
vent the development of explo-
sive oxyhydrogen!
Only use the original charger!
Pay attention that the insula-
tion is not initially damaged
and not damaged during the
charging process. The cable
must not rub against anything.
Do not use the charger if the in-
sulation is damaged.
We recommended charging the battery
w
hen at least one dot of the battery in-
dicator has gone out after operating the
machine. The indicator (Fig. 22/1) also
indicates the charge status of the bat-
teries during the charging process.
• Connect the battery plug (Fig. 22/4)
to the battery
charger supplied.
• Pay attention to the information
in
the operating manual supplied with
the charger and the manual from
battery manufacturer.
Do not inhale battery gases.
