DESCRIPTION OF THE BATTERY CONDITION INDICATORS

The battery condition indicators give a relative indication of the state of charge of the battery pack. A fully charged battery pack will measure above 37.6 volts with no load applied (2.09 volts per cell). The BRX 700 is equipped with a low voltage cutout feature that will turn the scrub system off when the batteries are discharged to their minimum level. There are two different cutout levels to accommodate different battery types. See the service manual for details. The voltage levels for the various indications are as follows (the voltages shown represent the voltage under load):

INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR STANDARD CUTOUT LEVEL (AS SHIPPED)

Green indicator = full charge down to 34.00 volts Green & Yellow indicator 33.99 volts down to 33.00 volts Yellow indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.00 volts Yellow & Red indicator = 31.99 volts down to 31.50 volts Red indicator = 31.49 volts down to 31.00 volts Flashing Red indicator = less than 31.00 volts – scrub system will shut down.

INDICATOR VOLTAGE LEVELS FOR ALTERNATE CUTOUT LEVEL

Green indicator = full charge down to 34.50 volts Green & Yellow indicator 34.49 volts down to 34.00 volts Yellow indicator = 33.99 volts down to 33.50 volts Yellow & Red indicator = 33.49 volts down to 33.00 volts Red indicator = 32.99 volts down to 32.5 volts Flashing Red indicator = less than 32.5 volts – scrub system will shut down.

NOTE: Refer to service manual for selection of alternate cutout level. NOTE: Once the low voltage cutout level has been reached (ﬂ ashing red indicator) the batteries must be FULLY recharged (37.6 volts) to reset the battery

condition indicator. The scrub system will not function until the indicator has been reset.

INSTALL THE BATTERIES

WARNING !

Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from inside the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas can be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or ﬂ ame.

with clean water.

2 Turn the Key Switch (J) ON. Press and hold the Purge Switch (T) down for at least 3

The Detergent Box (AA) has a Detergent Level Viewing Slot (BB) for keeping track of how much detergent is remaining in the cartridge. When the detergent level is nearing the bottom of this slot it is time to reﬁ ll or replace the cartridge.

General Use:

The detergent injection system is activated when the Key Switch (J) is turned on but no detergent is dispensed until the scrub system is activated and the Drive Pedal (8) pushed forward. The solution ﬂ ow rate is determined by the use of “Maintenance” or “Restoration” mode. The solution ﬂ ow rate can be changed by pressing the Maintenance Extract Mode Switch (D) for reduced ﬂ ow or the Restoration Extract Mode Switch (F) for increased ﬂ ow. The detergent ﬂ ow rate increases or decreases with the solution ﬂ ow rate but the detergent ratio remains the same. During scrubbing, the detergent system can be turned off at any time by pressing the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (S) to allow scrubbing with water only. SERVICE NOTE: Follow the “To Purge Weekly” instructions above if the machine is going to be stored for an extended period of time or if you plan to discontinue use of the detergent injection system.

BESCHREIBUNG DER BATTERIEANZEIGELEUCHTEN

Mit Hilfe der Batterie-Anzeigelampen lässt sich der Ladezustand der Batterien feststellen. Eine voll aufgeladene Batterie ohne angelegte Last hat eine Klemmenspannung von 37,6 Volt (2,09 Volt pro Batteriezelle). Das Modell BRX 700 ist mit einer Unterspannungsabschaltung ausgerüstet, die das Scheuersystem abschaltet, wenn die Batterien voll entladen sind. Die Abschaltspannung kann je nach dem verwendeten Batterietyp in zwei Stufen eingestellt werden. Details ﬁ nden Sie im Servicehandbuch. Die Spannungsstufen für die verschiedenen Anzeigen sind (die angegebenen Spannungen entsprechen der Spannung unter Last):

SPANNUNGSANZEIGESTUFEN FÜR DIE STANDARDABSCHALTUNG (EINSTELLUNG BEI AUSLIEFERUNG) Grüne Anzeige = vollständig geladen bis 34,00 Volt

Grüne und gelbe Anzeige = 33,99 Volt bis 33,00 Volt Gelbe Anzeige = 32,99 Volt bis 32,00 Volt Gelbe und rote Anzeige = 31,99 Volt bis 31,50 Volt Rote Anzeige = 31,49 Volt bis 31,00 Volt Blinkende rote Anzeige = weniger als 31,00 Volt – das Scheuersystem wird abgeschaltet.

SPANNUNGSANZEIGESTUFEN FÜR DIE ALTERNATIVE ABSCHALTUNG Grüne Anzeige = vollständig geladen bis 34,50 Volt

Grüne und gelbe Anzeige = 34,49 Volt bis 34,00 Volt Gelbe Anzeige = 33,99 Volt bis 33,50 Volt Gelbe und rote Anzeige = 33,49 Volt bis 33,00 Volt Rote Anzeige = 32,99 Volt bis 32,5 Volt Blinkende rote Anzeige = weniger als 32,5 Volt – das Scheuersystem wird abgeschaltet.

HINWEIS: Anweisungen zur Umschaltung auf die Alternativeinteilung ﬁ nden Sie in der Wartungsanleitung. HINWEIS: Sobald die untere Abschaltspannung erreicht ist (rote Anzeige blinkt), müssen die Batterien VOLL (bis auf 37,6 Volt) aufgeladen werden, sonst

wird die Batterie-Anzeige nicht zurückgesetzt. Das Scheuersystem funktioniert erst, wenn die Anzeige zurückgesetzt wurde.

EINBAU DER BATTERIEN

WARNHINWEIS!

Bei der Arbeit an Batterien ist äußerste Vorsicht geboten. Die Schwefelsäure in den Batterien kann bei Berührung der Haut oder der Augen erhebliche Verletzungen verursachen. Explosiver, gasförmiger Wasserstoff wird aus dem Inneren der Batterien durch Öffnungen in den Batteriekappen abgegeben. Dieses Gas kann sich durch einen elektrischen Lichtbogen, einen Funken oder eine offene Flamme entzünden.

Treffen Sie vor bzw. bei der Arbeit an den Batterien folgende Sicherheitsvorkehrungen: * Entfernen Sie jeglichen Schmuck.

* Rauchen Sie nicht. * Tragen Sie Schutzbrillen, eine Gummischürze und Gummihandschuhe. * Arbeiten Sie in einem gut belüfteten Bereich. * Lassen Sie nicht zu, dass ein Werkzeug mehr als eine Batterieklemme berührt.

ACHTUNG!

An den elektrischen Komponenten dieser Maschine können erhebliche Schäden entstehen, wenn die Batterien nicht ordnungsgemäß eingebaut und angeschlossen werden. Die Einbau der Batterien sollte von Nilﬁ sk oder einem qualiﬁ zierten Elektriker vorgenommen werden.
