13.1 Operation instructions

Unplug battery before all maintenance and settings! NOTE

• Never remove the battery while the machine is running.

13.2.1 Start electrical support

2. Turn switch (1) on the handle to "0" BAS activated /EBS deactivated.

BAS = Brake assistance if no electronic support is requested EBS = Electronic Brake: Machine is braked and braking effect is main- tained as long as - until battery empty - until EBS is deactivated again

3. Turn the right-hand control handle (2) to adjust the strength of the

electrical support, the further the handle is turned counter clock- wise (+) the stronger the support. Note: no activation on electrical support means BAS active (braking effect noticeable) Note: If EBS is set to "I", no electric drive assistance in forward or reverse direction.

13.2.2 Machine stopping / parking

2. Switch (1) on the handle set to "0" BAS activated.

The machine must be braked by manually by manpower when used on slopes.

3. Switch (1) on the handle set to "I" EBS activated

The machine brakes until it comes to a complete stand still and the braking effect remains active as long as the switch is set to position "I". Also holds the machine in position on slops up to 20%. If the machine is to remain in position for a longer period of time, first bring it onto level ground and se- cure it against rolling away (chock under the wheels). Note: Braking function EBS requires battery energy, de- signed for short times only (max. 15 minutes)

Charging the battery:

1. remove battery from battery box

2. connect the charger to the power supply (socket) 230 V /

50 Hz and the charging socket (1)..

4. When the battery is fully charged (display on the charger),

disconnect the charger again.

5. charging status is indicated by pressing button (2) on the

display (3). Voltage display on battery box system indicates the status of the battery: Voltage display shows 42 V Battery capacity 100% Voltage display shows 35 V Battery capacity ~50% Voltage display shows < 30 V Please charge the battery (too less capacity left)

• Avoid overheating when charging the battery. Ensure sufficient air supply so that no heat can ac- cumulate.

• Only charge the battery in an ambient temperature between 0° C and +40° C.

• Allow the battery to cool down after intensive use before recharging it.

• Always charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.

• Do not smoke when charging the battery. Keep the battery away from open flames and sparks.

• Allow the battery to cool down immediately after charging.

The usage of certain solutions containing ingredients damaging metal surfaces as well as the use of scrubbing agents will damage the machine surface! Clean the machine surface with a wet cloth soaked in a mild solution Never use running water or a high pressure cleaner to clean the machine.

• Clean the outer parts with a damp sponge.

• Store the machine in a closed, dry location.

14.2.1 Maintenance plan

After each workshift:

• Check the cables (tight fit, damage) Monthly:

• Charge the battery (for longer period of storage): Monthly check of the charge level.

• Clean thoroughly all components before storage.

• Store all components separately in a dry area at not less than 0 ° C. Important notes on storing the battery to avoid possible damage: If the machine will not be used for a longer period of time, the battery should be disconnected and disas- sembled from the machine. Before storage, the battery should be charged again. An exception to this rule are batteries permanently installed in the machine, which should not be disassembled and simply charged with the charger supplied. Batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx. 20° C) in a dry and frost- proof place. Avoid large temperature fluctuations (e.g. do not expose battery to direct sunlight or store near heating systems). Higher temperatures can lead to accelerated ageing and premature loss of function of the battery. If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, check the charge level regularly (monthly, max. every 3 months). If necessary, recharge the battery.

Observe the national waste disposal regulations. Never dispose of the machine, machine com- ponents or operating equipment in the residual waste. If necessary, contact your local author- ities for information regarding available disposal options. If you purchase a new machine or equivalent equipment from your specialist dealer, he is obliged in certain countries to dispose of your old machine properly. 15 TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE YOU START WORKING FOR THE ELIMINATION OF DEFECTS, UNPLUG THE BATTERY.
