HOW TO CHARGE BATTERY (OFF-FORKLIFT TYPE)
(cont’d)
1. Connect the charger output plug to the battery plug.
CAUTION
!
• Do not connect the charger output plug to the body harness
connection. The battery will not charge through this
connection.
2. Connect the charger input plug to the wall outlet (in the service
shop).
CAUTION
!
• To prevent a short circuit, install a no-fuse breaker on the
wall outlet side (in the service shop) to connect the charger
input plug.
3. Push the NORMAL or EQUAL button to select normal or equalizing
charge, respectively.
When an equalizing charge is desired, press the EQUAL button to
set the charger in that mode. The NORMAL pilot lamp will go out
and the EQUAL pilot lamp will come on.
Make sure only the pilot lamp of the selected charging mode is lit.
At this time, charging will be started automatically.
NOTE:
• Push the NORMAL or EQUAL button for about 2 seconds. Do not
push it more than 5 seconds. If the button is pushed for extended
periods of time, the timer will enter test mode. The test lamp will
come on. The test mode will end in 10 seconds to 2 minutes and
the test lamp will go off. When the test mode is operating, charging
will not start because the charging mode is not selected.
• After charging is started, it is not possible to change the charging
mode (NORMAL or EQUAL). If it is necessary to change the mode,
stop charging (push the STOP button), and then select the charging
mode again.
• It is advisable to charge the battery using the equalize charging
mode at least two or three times a month.
4. While charging, the charge indicator lamp will come on sequentially
and remain lit. Firstly, the Initial (1st) lamp comes on, then the 2nd
lamp, and they remain lit. Finally, the Final lamp will come on.
NOTE:
When the FINAL lamp comes on, the timer will activate.
