connecting the battery terminals, do not reverse the polarity. Ensure that the red wire goes to
the + terminal and the black wire goes to the – terminal on the battery.

NOTE: If the polarity of the battery cables is reversed, the battery and charger can suffer severe
damage. The battery connection may only be made by qualified personnel.

NOTE: Once the battery connection is made, the machine will not run until the cover and 4 allen
screws are back in place. This is done as a safety precaution to prevent bodily injury from the rotating
belts and motors. DO NOT

try to override this safety feature.

BATTERY

When the battery reaches a discharged state, a red LED indicator will come on to indicate that the
battery needs to be charged. When this indicator comes on, the machine should be plugged in to
charge. Leaving the battery in a discharged state can damage the cells inside, greatly reducing the life
of the battery.

NOTE: The battery in this machine is maintenance free sealed lead acid (SLA) battery and requires
no maintenance other than regular charging. If the machine is going to be stored for long periods of
time, we recommend that you bring the battery to a fully charged state and disconnect the battery
terminals.

BATTERY CHARGER

The ST40BT comes with an on-board charger. The cable is located on the rear right side from the
operator’s perspective and is tucked inside the body for storage.

A complete recharge takes approximately 10 hours to complete. During the charging cycle, all
functions are disabled.

MAINTENANCE

1. After every use, use the filter shaker to knock any debris off of the filter.

2. Empty the hopper into a garbage bag wearing the appropriate apparatus (Gloves, respirator).

3. Re-install the hopper on to the machine and plug the machine in to charge.
Periodically check that the main broom is making proper contact with the floor. If the main

broom is in the lowest setting and is not making contact with the floor, replace the main
broom.

Periodically check the condition of the side broom. If the bristles are worn or the shape of the

side broom is distorted, replace the side broom.

Periodically check the condition of the filter. The filter can be removed (as shown in fig 3

below) and blown out with compressed air. If this does not clean the filter, replace the filter
with a new one.

Any maintenance procedures other than the ones listed above may only be carried out by
qualified service personnel.
