IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using battery powered machines, basic precautions should always be followed, including

the

following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING MACHINE

Operate from the rear of the machine only.

Use caution when operating the machine on a ramp or incline.
Do

not turn the machine, or leave it unattended, on a ramp or incline.

~~ ~ ~~ ~~

Machine can cause an explosion when operated near flammable vapors
or materials.

Store machine inside. Keep the electrical components of the machine dry.
Lead acid batteries have a number of inherent dangers, carefully read the

instructions and warnings which accompany the batteries and battery charger.

REMEMBER:

The batteries generate gasses which can ignite. Always

charge in a well ventilated area. Keep sparks and flames away from the

batteries.

Do

not smoke around the batteries. Avoid skin contact with the acid
contained in the batteries. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing
when working on or near batteries. Never allow metal objects to lay across

battery tops.

~ ~~ ~~

All

maintenance and repairs must be done by qualified personnel only.

Maintain adjustments on machine as specified in service manual.
Make sure all warning and caution labels are legible and properly

attached to the machine.

SAVE

THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

Record the model and serial number on the blue data label located at the rear of the machine

.

These numbers are used when calling upon the Windsor dealer for parts and service.

Battery Maintenance:

When cleaning batteries use a solution

of

baking

soda and water.

(Do

not allow cleaning fluid to

enter inside battery cells.)
Keep a proper electrolyte level in battery cells.

Wipe down the battery tops at least once a

week.

If

a

cell

should accidently overflow, clean

immediately.

Test battery condition with a hydrometer at least
once a week.

Ensure that all connections are tight and that

all

corrosion

is

removed.

Every

4

to

6

months remove batteries from the

machine and clean the battery compartment.

Battery Charging Procedure:

Charge the batteries once the amber charge

level

light

comes on.

The

amber light indicates that there is

about

20%

charge

left

in the batteries.

Do

not let the

batterles completely drain before

charglng.

Avoid
charging the batteries before the amber light comes
on.

The

machine will run for hours

on

fully charged,

well

maintained batteries.

DO NOT SMOKE, HAVE OPEN FLAMES,

OR

SPARKS NEAR BATTERIES

AT

ANY TIME.

WARNING:

WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING WHEN WORKING

WITH

BATTERIES.

CHARGE

BAlTERlES IN A WELL VENTILATED

AREA WITH DECK DOWN AND COVER OPEN.

1

.)

Use

a

36

volt, 20 amp maximum output, D.C.

charger which turns itself

off,

when the batteries are
fully charged. The charger must have a connector
that matches the machines battery connection.

2.)

Read the instructions and warnings provided by

the battery charger manufacturer.

3.)

Set the charger

in a well

ventilated area on a lev

-

el

surface. Make sure cords will easily reach outlets

on both machine and wall.

4.)

Connect

charger to

D.C.

outlet on machine

first.

5.)

Connect the A.C. power cord to properly

grounded wall socket.

NEVER MAKE THE A.C.

CONNECTION FIRST, HAZARDOUS SPARKS MAY

RESULT.

6.)

After the batteries are completely charged discon

-

nect the charger from the A.C. wall socket.

7.)

Once the charger is disconnected from the A.C.

wall socket it is safe to disconnect the charger from
the machine.

8.)

When the batteries
are fully charged, check the
electrolyte level by removing
the caps on top of the

batteries.

If

necessary

fill

the

cells with distilled water as

shown in the diagram to the

-

-

right. Be careful not to overfill
cells.
