CAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING BATTERY
Improper handling when charging the battery may cause the
battery to explode. Follow the manuals attached to the
Machine and the charger, and always observe the following.
See “OPERATION 9.3 CAUTIONS IN CHARGING
BATTERY” for details.
• Carry the charger to a location with good ventilation, then
remove the battery cap. Doing so causes the hydrogen gas
to disperse and prevents explosion.
• Adjust the charger voltage to suit the voltage of the battery
to charge. Mistake in adjusting the voltage may cause
explosions due to overheat and ignition of the charger.
• Securely fix the (+) charge clip of the charger to the (+)
terminal of the battery, then securely fix the (-) charge clip to
(-) terminal of the battery.
• Set the charge current to no more than 1/10 of the rated
capacity of the battery, or, in case of quick charge, set to the
rated capacity of the battery or smaller.
• Excessive charge current may cause fire and explosions
due to fluid leaks or fluid deficiency.
