Getting Started

Remove the contents from the package, examining them carefully for
breakage, defects, or shortages. Save the packaging.

Charging the Batteries

For transport safety reasons, the Rota-Filler 3000 ® is shipped with
minimal battery charge. The batteries must be charged for 14 hours
before initial use.
Warning!
Use original battery charger only!
The use of a different charger could damage the batteries and
would void the warranty. Confirm that the voltage of the adapter
matches the voltage of the electrical outlet.
Before starting to charge, confirm that the voltage or the battery
adapter is identical to the main power supply at the outlet.
1. The temperature range for recharging is 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C).
2. Plug the charger jack into the base of the Rota-Filler 3000 ® .
3. Insert the plug of the adapter into a suitable wall outlet. The red
indicator on the charger will light up.
4. Place the Rota-Filler 3000 ® on the benchtop stand.
5. Allow to charge 14 hours from empty to fully charged.
6. Once the Rota-Filler 3000 ® is fully charged, the adapter
automatically switches to a trickle charge operation and the red
indicator will turn off. If the charge is interrupted and then
re-started, the adapter will start the full 14 hour charging cycle
again. This will not damage the batteries.
Notes
— When fully charged, the Rota-Filler 3000 ® can be operated for
approximately 8 hours.
— If using the Rota-Filler 3000 ® daily, do not charge the battery until the
"low-battery indicator" LED has lit. A residual charge of approximately
10%
is available when the LED has lit.
—The Rota-Filler 3000 ® can be operated during recharging.
— If the LED on the adapter does not light up when the Rota-Filler 3000 ® is
connected to the adapter, the Rota-Filler 3000 ® and adapter should both
be tested and if necessary, repaired or replaced. 7
