Charge the batteries Section 6 – Additional Procedures
WARNING
Do not manually disengage the brakes if the
MEWP is on a slope. If you do not obey, there is a
risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Tip-over hazard. Disengage the brakes manually
before you push, winch, or tow the MEWP. If you
do not obey, there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
1. Release the brakes manually. Refer to
section 6.2.
2. Remove the wheel chocks or blocks.
3. Push, winch, or tow the MEWP to the necessary
location.
4. Put the MEWP on a firm, level surface.
5. Use wheel chocks or blocks at the front and rear
of the wheels to prevent MEWP movement.
6. Pull out the plunger of the brake auto-reset
valve to re-engage the brakes.
7. Turn the freewheeling valve clockwise until it is
closed tightly.
WARNING
Engage the brakes immediately after the MEWP is
at the necessary location. If you do not obey, there
is a risk of death or serious injury.
6.4 Charge the batteries
1. Supply sufficient airflow for the batteries and the
charger.
IMPORTANT
Do not let materials or fabric be on the charger. It
is necessary for the charger to have access to cool
air for it to operate correctly. Clean the charger
cooling fins if they are clogged with debris to make
sure the charger functions at its best.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Be careful when you use fuels,
solvents, or other flammable materials near the
charger or batteries. A spark from the charger of
batteries can cause a fire or explosion. If you do
not obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
2. Connect the power supply cable to a correctly
grounded socket between 100 to 230 VAC, and
50 to 60 Hz. The charger automatically senses
and adjusts to the voltage range of the AC input.
NOTE
The charging time is affected by numerous factors
including battery amp-hour capacity, depth of
discharge, battery temperature, and battery condition
(new, old or defective). Batteries larger than 240 AH
can be recharged, but will take longer.
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect the DC
output wires near the batteries when the charger is
ON. This can cause an arc, which can then cause
the batteries to explode. You must disconnect the
AC power supply cable from its socket, and then
the charger DC connections. If you do not obey,
there is a risk of death or serious injury.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Do not touch parts of the
charger output wires that are not insulated, the
battery connector, or the battery terminals. If you
do not obey, there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
