A - DAILY OR EVERY 10 HOURS OF SERVICE
A1 – BATTERY
RECHARGE
IMPORTANT
Do not discharge a battery beyond 80% of its capacity and recharge in one operation in a well ventilated space.
The charger must be adjusted to suit the battery.
Refer to the charger instruction manual for details of this operation.
NOTE: The battery is charged with the caps closed and the battery cover open.
- Raise the battery cover (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Disconnect the battery plug (1).
- Connect the battery plug (1) to the charger socket (2).
- Perform a normal, top-up or equalizing charge (see detail below).
- Disconnect the battery plug (1) from the charger socket (2).
- Reconnect the battery plug (1).
- Close the battery cover.
NORMAL CHARGE
If the residual battery capacity after a working cycle is greater than 60 %, it does not
need recharging.
- Set the charger to normal and equalization charge mode and switch on.
- The charger will automatically switch off when charging is complete.
TOP-UP CHARGE
When the normal charge is not sufficient to last for an entire working day, and to avoid
discharging the battery beyond 80 % of its capacity, a further charge can be added
during a meal or rest break.
- Set the charger to normal charge mode only and switch on.
- Once the charge has been topped-up, switch off the charger.
EQUALIZATION CHARGE
Even if the battery has not needed charging for more than one week, the charge must still be equalized once every week.
- Set the charger to charge equalization mode only and switch on.
- The charger will switch off automatically once equalization is completed.
A2 – BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVELS
CHECK
IMPORTANT
Filling must be carried out after the charging phase.
WITHOUT CENTRAL FILLING
Check the electrolyte level of two or three cells (choose different cells each day).
- Raise the battery cover (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS).
- Disconnect the battery plug (1).
- Open the caps (2) of the selected cells of the battery.
- The electrolyte level must be 15-20 mm above the top of the plates in the battery.
- If necessary, top up with clean distilled or demineralised water that has been stored in
a glass container (in case of spillage of water onto the battery see: 3-MAINTENANCE:
A3 - CLEANING THE BATTERY).
- Reclose the caps (2).
- Check the terminal connections and lightly smear with petroleum jelly to prevent the formation of verdigris.
- Reconnect the battery plug (1).
- Close the battery cover.
