! IMPORTANT
DO NOT recharge the batteries unless the
electrolyte level has been checked.
! DANGER
DO NOT allow smoking, flames or sparks
around batteries.
! IMPORTANT
DO ENSURE the side covers are removed/
raised during the charging process to allow
gasses to escape.
❑ Batteries - general maintenance
Al ways keep the batteries clean, free of dirt
and corrosion. A film on top of the battery can
accelerate discharge.
Cold reduces battery capacity and retards charging.
Heat in creases water usage and can (in extreme
circumstances) result in overcharging.
Use distilled water to refill the batteries. Avoid water
containing metallic solids such as iron.
❑ Batteries - charging
Fully recharge the batteries, immediately after
use. One charging cycle per day is preferred. Fully
charged batteries perform best. The deeper the
discharge, the fewer number of cycles a battery
will deliver. Deep discharges deteriorate the battery
quicker than shallow cycles.
An overly dis charged battery may need to be
cycled a few times before it can fully recover. If
a battery begins to heat before becoming fully
charged, it may be necessary to recharge and
discharge the battery a few times.
The MHP is equiped with an automatic bat tery
charger that will completely recharge the batteries
and turn off after the charge cycle is completed.

Bi-Energy, Petrol/Diesel / 240V AC
Another Bi-Energy option available for the TL39T is
the 240V AC / Petrol/Diesel option described below.
This consists of a combination of both a gasoline
or diesel engine and a 240V AC motor to give a
Bi-energy option.
Specifically a 240V AC motor is mounted on the
column under the left hand side cover. This provides
an alternative power source to the gasoline or
diesel engine.
The AC motor is powered from an external AC
power source
❑
AC motor
The AC motor is mounted under the left hand side
cover (see Figure 11.9).
Figure 11.9 - AC Motor

AC motor operation
A Gas/Electric switch is used to select either
the petrol/diesel engine or the AC motor (see
Figure 11.10).
