use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
•Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down ramps.
•Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Explosive gases are vented during normal operation.
•Charging the batteries produces highly explosive hydrogen gas. Charge batteries only in well-ventilated areas, away
from open flame. Do not smoke while charging the batteries.
•Remove all jewelry when working near electrical components.
•Turn the power switch off, remove the magnetic key and disconnect the batteries before servicing electrical
components.

MAGNETIC SmartKey™
The use of a Magnetic SmartKey (W) is required to operate this machine. Pressing the power switch without a key in place on the SmartKey
Reader (A) will cause the machine to momentarily turn on and display No Key Indicator (C21) before turning off.
There are two different magnetic SmartKeys (W).
1. The “User” (blue) key allows a basic level of access to the information menu (press Information Switch (D)).
2. The “Supervisor” (yellow) key allows an additional level of access. The service menu allows observing operational and user
parameters. The configuration menu allows adjusting machine settings. See Service Manual for more details.
PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
If your machine shipped with batteries installed do the following:
• Check that the batteries are connected to the machine.
• Turn ON the Power Switch (B) and check the Battery Indicator (C3). If the gauge is completely filled the batteries are ready for use. If the
gauge is less than full the batteries should be charged before use. See the “Charging The Batteries” section.
• IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.
If your machine shipped without batteries installed do the following:
• Consult your Authorized Advance dealer for recommended batteries.
• Install the batteries by following the instructions below.
• IMPORTANT!: IF YOUR MACHINE HAS AN ONBOARD BATTERY CHARGER REFER TO THE OEM PRODUCT MANUAL FOR
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING SETTING THE CHARGER FOR BATTERY TYPE.
LEAD-ACID BATTERY INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when working with batteries. Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury if allowed to contact
the skin or eyes. Explosive hydrogen gas is vented from the batteries through openings in the battery caps. This gas
can be ignited by any electrical arc, spark or flame. Do not install any lead-acid battery in a sealed container or enclosure.
Hydrogen gas from overcharging must be allowed to escape.
When Servicing Batteries...
•Remove all jewelry
•Do not smoke
•Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a rubber apron
•Work in a well-ventilated area
•Do not allow tools to touch more than one battery terminal at a time
•ALWAYS disconnect the negative (ground) cable first when replacing batteries to prevent sparks.
•ALWAYS connect the negative cable last when installing batteries.

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES - CONTINUED
CAUTION!
Electrical components in this machine can be severely damaged if the batteries are not installed and connected properly.
Batteries should be installed by Advance or by a qualified electrician.
1 Remove the batteries from their shipping crate and carefully inspect them for cracks or other damage. If damage is evident, contact the
carrier that delivered them or the battery manufacturer to file a damage claim.
2 Turn the Power Switch (B) OFF and remove the magnetic SmartKey.
3 Raise the steering column to the full upright position. Tip the seat forward and engage the Seat Prop Rod (9).
4 Remove the crossbar and if installed also remove the overhead guard.
5 Remove the recovery tank from the machine. NOTE: Disconnect the recovery switch wiring and the vacuum motor wiring then lift the tank
straight up and off the machine.
6 Your machine comes from the factory with enough battery cables to install six 6 volt batteries. Using at least (2) people and an appropriate
lifting strap, carefully lift the batteries into the battery compartment and arrange them exactly as shown in FIGURE 1. Secure the batteries
as close to the front and right side of the machine as possible. Use battery spacer to keep batteries from moving. If installing a mono-block
battery use an overhead hoist (the seat support bracket will need to be temporarily removed to install a mono-block battery).
7 Install the battery cables as shown. Position the cables so the battery caps can be easily removed for battery service.
IMPORTANT!: The protective caps supplied with the batteries need to be left on or re-used to completely cover the portion of the
battery terminals that are not being protected by the battery cable terminal cover boots supplied with the battery cables. This also
applies to the inline fuse holder boot.
8 Carefully tighten the nut in each battery terminal until the terminal will not turn. Do not over-tighten the terminals, or they will be very difficult
to remove for future service.
9 Coat the terminals with spray-on battery terminal coating (available at most auto parts stores).
10 Put one of the black rubber boots over each of the terminals and connect the Machine Battery Connector (10).
11 Make sure the Fuse Holder Boot (14) is covering the fuse holder, the cable end of the Machine Battery Connector (10), and as much of the
battery terminal as possible. Leave the protective caps supplied with the batteries in place or re-use to cover the terminal areas not protected
by the terminal cover boots.
When changing batteries or the charger, please contact your local authorized service center for correct battery, charger and machine
settings to prevent battery damage.
