Charging procedure with external battery charger
Each battery type and/or battery manufacturer requires differ-
ent charging characteristics.
Attention:
Incorrect charging characteristics or the
use of inappropriate chargers results in
early failure or the quick destruction of the
batteries.
Optionally available on-board chargers are adapted to the bat-
tery size and contain several charging characteristics which
are adjusted ex works or by a TASKI service technician for
recommended batteries. This regulation shall also apply for
the use of stationary (external) chargers.
Attention:
Persistent short-term use with subsequent
battery charging may cause long-term
damage to the batteries. Standard value:
At least approx. 20% of the available ca-
pacity should be used up before recharg-
ing the battery.
Attention:
In order to achieve their max. possible ser-
vice life, traction batteries must undergo
the complete charging cycle (12-16 hours)
twice a week.
Attention:
Before decommissioning the machine for
a longer period, the batteries must under-
go a complete charging cycle. After com-
pletion, the charger is disconnected from
the machine and/or mains. Batteries grad-
ually discharge. Depending on the type of
battery, they must be recharged after 3-6
months. Before recommissioning, the bat-
teries should undergo another complete
charging cycle.
Charging procedure with external charger
• Connect the external battery charger with the battery iso-
lating plug of the machine.
Attention:
Make sure that the plug is inserted up to
the stop in order to ensure a good electri-
cal contact.
Notice:
All machine functions are deactivated
during charging.
Charging procedure with (optional) on-board charger
• The machine must be switched off.
• Connect the main cord with a socket (protected by slow
fuse).
• The yellow indicator is constantly lit
until approx. 90% of the battery ca-
pacity has been reached. After-
wards, the indicator flashes until the
battery is fully charged.
• When the charging process is com-
plete, the green indicator is lit.

After charging
Attention:
Switch off the charger before disconnect-
ing the batteries (only for external char-
gers).
Disconnecting the charger while it is still
switched on may result in an explosion in
the battery compartment.
• Stow away the power cord for (optional) on-board chargers
in the provided compartment.
• Store the charging cable in a dry place where it is protected
against damage.
Attention:
Charging cables transfer high currents. Do
not use the charger if there are any signs
of damage to the plug, cable or device
connection.
Maintenance and care of open (wet-cell) batteries
Notice:
The care for maintenance-free batteries is
limited to the compliance with the correct
charging processes and correct adjust-
ment of the charging curve.
Open battery compartment for maintenance
• The machine must be switched off.
Unplug the seat switch before removing the seat from the ma-
chine.
• Unscrew the driver seat and remove it from the machine.
• Remove the battery case cover from
the machine.
Now the battery can be maintained
according to the manufacturer's noti
fication.
