B1 - CHECK THE CHARGE OF THE BATTERIES
The battery life of the access platform, with the battery at full charge, is 5
hours.
When the green lamp 1 (Fig. B1/1) is on, this shows that the battery is fully
charged.
- When using the access platform, the lamp operating shows the level of the
battery.
- When one of the two orange lamps 2 (Fig. B1/1) is on, this indicates that the
battery is 80% discharged, and that is therefore necessary to recharge it.
- When the red lamp 3 (Fig. B1/1) is on, this indicates that there is a risk of
damage to the battery.
B2 - CHARGE THE BATTERY
- The access platform is fitted with an electric charger, located under the
cowling of the wheels motors.
USE THE CHARGER.
Re-charge the battery in a ventilated area, in which it is strictly forbidden to
smoke, in order to avoid the risk of explosion.
- Remove the batteries covers 1 (Fig. B2/1) and leave it open all the time
while loading.
- Switch off the power to the access platform using the battery switch 2 (Fig.
B2/2).
- Do not place any metal objects on the batteries (risk of short circuit).
- Do not remove the cell caps.
- Do not re-charge the batteries if the temperature of the electrolyte is over
40°C. Allow it to cool first.
- Connect the charger power lead to the mains supply 3 (Fig. B2/3).
NOTE : 10 hours of charge are required for a battery which is 70% to 80%
discharged.
When the batteries are charged:
- Disconnect the power lead 3 (Fig. B2/3).
- Close the battery covers 1 (Fig. B2/1).
- Re-connect the power supply of the access platform with a battery switch 2
(Fig. B2/2).
NOTE : The charger was adjusted in the factory for the cable with which it
was supplied. If this cable is replaced, be sure to use the same cable
section and the same cable length.
