battery is lower than 1.250, turn to Step 8.
8) Charge the battery in a balanced way or fully
charge the battery and maintain the charge
for at least 6 hours (preferably 24 hours).
9) Open the battery cell cover(s), check the
specific weight with a specific gravity
hydrometer and record the value.
10) Check ambient temperature and adjust the
specific liquid gravity of each battery
according to the instructions in the following
steps.
Increase the specific liquid gravity by 0.004
per 5°C, if the temperature is higher than
27°C.
Decrease the specific liquid gravity by 0.004
per 5°C, if the temperature is lower than
27°C.
Result: the specific liquid gravity of each
battery is greater than 1.277 after the
adjustment. Fully charge the battery and turn
to Step 11.
Result: the specific liquid gravity difference
between the battery cells is greater than 0.1
or the specific liquid gravity of more than one
battery cell is less than 1.217. In such case,
please replace the battery.
11) Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water until the white
buoy floats to the top. Do not overfill.
12) Install the vent caps and neutralize any
electrolyte that may have spilled.

! CAUTION: The following steps
apply to all batteries.
13) Check the battery charger plug and wire
insulation for excessive wear and damage,
and replace them in time if necessary.
14) Connect the battery charger to AC power
supply of 100-240V, 50-60HZ correctly.
Result: The charger charges the battery.
Result: The audible alarm of the charger is
triggered and the indicator lamp flashes. Check
and correct the connection of fuse and charger.
Ensure that the charger works normally and
charges the battery.

! CAUTION:
For good effect, please select the wire of
appropriate length. The overall length of
wire shall not exceed 15 m.
To know more problems on charger
operation, please contact the after-sales
service department of LGMG.

Checking the wires
This inspection shall be performed once every 25
h or every month, whichever comes first.
Keeping the wires in good condition is crucial for
safe operation and superior performance of the
machine. Failure to find and replace the burned,
scratched, corroded or bent wires will lead to an
