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 fl ames away from batteries.
NO SMOKING!
CAUTION: See Charger Owner’s Manual. All onboard battery
chargers are programmed for a specifi c type battery.
The charger may need reprogramming to properly
charge replacement batteries different than the origi-
nally equipped Nilfi sk ALTO battery.
NOTE: Only replace batteries with the identical Nilfi sk ALTO battery
pack as originally equipped. The correct Nilfi sk ALTO battery part
number can be found on the Nilfi sk ALTO battery label affi xed to the top
of each battery.
If the replacement battery is a different Nilfi sk ALTO battery, please
contact Nilfi sk ALTO Technical Service, 1-800-356-7274, for instruc-
tions.
If the replacement battery is not a Nilfi sk ALTO battery, please contact
the charger manufacturer for instructions.
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure the key switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Raise the seat base support.
3. Connect the battery charger AC cord to a properly grounded wall
receptacle matching plug confi guration (50/60 Hz).
4. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging process has started
(see fi gure 5, A - Red, B - Yellow, C - Green ). For color indications
see fi gure 6.
Recharging the Batteries
The Scrubtec R comes with an on board charger.
1. Plug into any wall socket and charging is automatic.
2. Observe indicator light to ensure the charging process has started
(see fi gure 5, A - Red, B - Yellow, C - Green ). For color indications
see fi gure 6.
NOTE: Make sure you plug into a circuit that is not loaded by other equip-
ment. Wall breakers may be tripped and no charge will occur.
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.
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries, avoid their complete
discharge. Never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the
machine is not being used. When recharging the batteries, keep the base
support of the seat lifted. After every 20 recharging operations, check the
level of the electrolyte and if necessary top off with distilled water.
