13.2.1 Start electrical support

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

tivated. BAS = Brake assistance if no electronic support is requested EBS = Electronic Brake: Machine is braked and braking effect is maintained 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 clockwise (+) the stronger the support.

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).

• 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.

• FIRE HAZARD! Never charge batteries near acids and flammable materials.

• 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.

Repair jobs shall be performed by respectively trained professionals only! Check regularly the condition of the security stickers. Replace them if required. Check regularly the condition of the machine. 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: if the machine is stored for a longer period of time.

• Clean thoroughly all components before storage.

• Store all components separately in a dry area at not less than 0 ° C (optimum for battery 10-25°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 components or equipment in residual waste. If necessary, contact your local authorities for information on the disposal options available. If you buy a new machine or an equivalent device 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.
