How To Charge The Batteries
WARNING: Charging the batteries in an area
without adequate ventilation could
result in an explosion. To prevent
an explosion, charge the batteries
only in an area with good
ventilation.
WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases
which could explode. Keep sparks
and flames away from batteries. NO
SMOKING!
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the AC plug
from the wall receptacle before
connecting or disconnecting the DC
connector on the charger could
result in an explosion. Always
disconnect the AC plug from the
wall receptacle before connecting
or disconnecting the DC connector
on the charger.
To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:
1. Put the charger on a flat surface. Make sure the
vents on the sides are at least two inches away
from walls and other objects. Make sure there are
no objects near the vents on the bottom of the
charger.
2. "L" Model - when key is off, brake is activated.
Make sure key is off.

putting it into the down position. See figure 12.
Make sure the key switch is in "OFF" position.
