not be indicative of normal discharge.

depending on customer preferences and the configuration set by the installer in the AP (#) AC LOSS User

CAUTION !
Before replacing the batteries, turn off all power switches. Use only AGM batteries as replace-
ments (part number MX002008 or equivalent). The batteries supplied in the SwingSmart oper-
ator are state-of-the-art AGM batteries. Do NOT use flooded cell batteries as damage may
occur to the unit.
The two 8Ah batteries are easily accessible at the back of the operator on a tray behind the motor.

1. Turn off the DC and AC power switches.
2. Unlock side latches to remove the SwingSmart front cover.

that secure the rear cover. Set the covers aside.
3. Cut the two black zip ties which secure the 8Ah batteries to
the tray.
