OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery and Charger Instructions
Observe and Obey:
Do not use external charger or booster battery.
Charge battery in a well-ventilated area.
Use proper AC input voltage for charging as
indicated on charger.
Use only Genie authorized battery and charger.
To Charge Battery
1 Be sure the batteries are connected before
charging the batteries.
2 Open the turntable covers. The covers should
remain open for the entire charging cycle.
3 Remove the battery vent caps and check the
battery acid level. If necessary, add only
enough distilled water to cover the plates. Do
not overfill prior to the charge cycle.
4 Replace the battery vent caps.
5 Connect the battery charger to a grounded AC
circuit.
6 Turn the battery charger on.
7 The charger will indicate when the battery is
fully charged.
8 Check the battery acid level when the charging
cycle is complete. Replenish with distilled water
to the bottom of the fill tube. Do not overfill.
Dry Battery Filling and
Charging Instructions
1 Remove the battery vent caps and permanently
remove the plastic seal from the battery vent
openings.
2 Fill each cell with battery acid (electrolyte) until
the level is sufficient to cover the plates.
Do not fill to maximum level until the battery
charge cycle is complete. Overfilling can cause the
battery acid to overflow during charging.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and
water.
3 Install the battery vent caps.
4 Charge the battery.
5 Check the battery acid level when the charging
cycle is complete. Replenish with distilled water
to the bottom of the fill tube. Do not overfill.
Voltage Conversion
Some battery chargers are equipped with a
multifunction fuse, which enables the operator to
switch between 110-120 volts and 220-240 volts.
1 Locate the fuse drawer
module on the front of the
battery charger.
2 To change voltage, pull the fuse drawer out, flip
it over so the desired voltage range reads right
side up, and return the drawer to the slot.
3 Check that the triangle
next to the desired
voltage range points to
the triangle printed on
the lip of the module.
