MAINTENANCE
Battery Charging
The charger is fully automatic:
1. It turns on when plugged in.
2. It switches to equalizing charge.
3. It shuts off when it reaches full charge or when batteries are defective.
NOTE: It is recommended that new batteries be fully discharged at least once (more in some cases) to enable
batteries to hold a full charge.
The batteries must be charged after each use of 3 or more hours. Failure to do so will result in shortened running
time.
To charge the batteries, raise top covers and lock in position.
WARNING
To avoid explosion keep covers open during charge to insure proper ventilation of gases.
1. Connect charger cable by plugging it into Andersenä
connector located under rear top cover.
2. Plug AC cord into proper electrical receptacle. The red
“CHARGER ON” light will automatically come on along
with the “INCOMPLETE” light, meaning batteries are being
charged.
3. The charger will automatically turn off when the
batteries are charged to their maximum capacity. The
“CHARGER ON” light will go out when the charge cycle is
complete.
4. To stop the charge cycle push the “INTERRUPT”
button. (Do not unplug A.C. cord while the charger is on.)
5. Check the lights on the battery charger after charger
shuts off (“CHARGER ON” light should not be lit):
A.Green light: Batteries are fully charged and are in good
condition.
B.Amber light: All cells are OK but the total battery capacity is
reduced. This usually indicates that the batteries are aging.
C.Red light: The battery capacity is low and the entire
charger/battery system needs to be inspected by a qualified
Tornado serviceman.
