Battery Maintenance

The electrical power to operate the machine comes from the storage batteries. Storage batteries need preventative maintenance.

WARNING: Working with batteries can be dangerous. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. NO

SMOKING!

To maintain the batteries in good condition, follow these instructions:

1.

Keep the electrolyte at the correct level. The correct level is between 1/4” (1/2 cm) below the bottom of the tube in each cell and above the tops of the plates.

Check the level of the electrolyte each time you charge the batteries (see figure 9).

NOTE: Check the level of electrolyte prior to charging the batteries. Be sure the plates in each cell are covered with electrolyte before charging. Do not top off the cells prior to charging the battery. Electrolyte expands during charging.

As a result, the electrolyte could overflow from the cells.

Always top off the cells with distilled water after charging.

CAUTION: Irreversible damage will occur to the batteries if electrolyte does not cover the plates. Keep the electrolyte at the correct level.

CAUTION:

CAUTION:

Machine damage and discharge across the tops of the batteries can occur if the batteries are over filled.

Do not fill the batteries up to the bottom of the tube in each cell.

Wipe any acid from the machine or the tops of the batteries. Never add acid to a battery after installation.

Batteries must be refilled with distilled water only. Do not use tap water as it may contain contaminants that will damage batteries.

2.

Keep the tops of the batteries clean and dry. Keep the terminals and connectors clean. To clean the top of the batteries, use a damp cloth with a weak solution of ammonia or bicarbonate of soda solution. To clean the terminals and connectors, use a terminal and connector cleaning tool. Do not allow ammonia or bicarbonate of soda to get into the batteries.

3.

Keep the batteries charged.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I install the batteries?
Make sure the key switch is in the “OFF” position and the parking brake is set. Lift and rotate the base support of the seat forward. Lean the seat on the steering wheel. Lift the front of the recovery tank and rotate it towards the rear until it locks in place. Put the batteries into position and connect the battery cables as shown in figure 7. Join the connector from the battery pack to the machine connector (see figure 8). Unlatch the recovery tank support and carefully rotate it forward to the normal operating position. Lower the base support of the seat.
How do I charge the batteries?
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.
How do I adjust the squeegee blade flare?
The squeegee body can be tilted to adjust the squeegee blade flare in the middle to match the flare on the ends. To adjust the tilt, loosen the lock nut (3) on the adjusting bolt located on the left side of the squeegee (see figure 14). Turn the adjusting bolt counter clockwise to increase the flare in the middle. Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise to decrease the flare to the middle. After making adjustments, retighten the lock nut.
