How to Charge the Batteries
WARNING: Charging the batteries in an area
without adequate ventilation could
result in an explosion. To prevent
an explosion, charge the batteries
only in an area with good
ventilation.
WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases
which could explode. Keep sparks
and flames away from batteries. NO
SMOKING!
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the AC plug
from the wall receptacle before
connecting or disconnecting the
DC connector on the charger could
result in an explosion. Always
disconnect the AC plug from the
wall receptacle before connecting
or disconnecting the DC connector
on the charger.
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Put the charger on a flat surface. Make sure the vents
on the sides are at least two inches away from walls
and other objects. Make sure there are no objects
near the vents on the bottom of the charger.
2. Make sure the key switch is in the “OFF” position.
3. Set the parking brake by pushing on the pedal and
pulling it backwards with your foot. Make sure the
pedal is locked in position (see figure 10).
4. Raise the seat base support.
5. Disconnect the machine connector and the battery
connector.
6. Connect the battery charger connector to the battery
pack connector in the machine (see figure 11).
NOTE: The MINI-MAX uses a battery adapter cable as an
interface between the battery charger and the battery pack.
The adapter battery cable was delivered in the package with
the machine. Connect the adapter cable to the charger and
then to the battery pack. See the instruction booklet for the
battery charger.
Recharging the Batteries (See figure 12)
Make sure the battery charger fits the installed batteries
either for capacity or for type (lead/acid or GEL and
equivalents).
WARNING: Never charge a GEL battery with an
unsuitable battery charger.
Carefully follow the instructions
given by the manufacturer of the
batteries and battery charger.
