• When the last second the LED flashes, indicating that
access to "charge reserve" (to use the 70% of electricity).
• When the last two LED flash alternately, indicating that
the battery has voltage (to use the 80% of electricity)
battery needs charging.
The battery discharge indicator has a memory function, it can remember the battery
power after the power turn off, and next time the power has be turned on it will show
the power in it memory . lf you want reset battery discharge indicator, please turn on
the key after properly charging .
Low Voltage Protection
This vehicle has a low-voltage protection function.
When the battery voltage is less than, the vehicle will appear that the driving speed

2. Transport and Commissioning
2.1 Using the Truck for the First Time
Only operate the truck with battery current. Rectified AC current will damage the
electronic components. Cable connections to the battery (tow leads) must be less than
6 m.
Preparing the truck for operation after delivery or transport
Procedure
• Check the equipment is complete.
• Check the hydraulic oil level.
• lnstall the battery if necessary (where required), (see "4.4 Battery removal and
installation" on page 18) do not damage battery cable.
• Charge the battery, (see "4.3 Charging the battery" on page 17).
When the truck is parked the surface of the tyres will flatten. The flattening will
disappear after a short period of operation.
2.2 During brake-in
We recommended operating the machine under light laad conditions for the first stage
of operation to get the most from it. Especially the requirements given below should be
observed while the machine is in a stage of 100 hours of operation.
• Must prevent the new battery from over discharging when early used. Please
charging when remain power less than 20%.
• Perform specified preventive maintenance services carefully and completeyl.
• Avoid sudden stop, starts or turns.
• Oil changes and lubrication are recommended to do earlier than specified.
• Limited laad is 70 80% of the rated load.
