BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
5. Charge:
Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
CAUTION:
Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the machine. (If charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the machine, disconnect the negative
battery lead from the battery terminal.)
To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure
to turn off the battery charger.
Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery termi-
nal and that they are not shorted. A cor-
roded battery charger lead clip may
generate heat in the contact area and a
weak clip spring may cause sparks.
If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process,
disconnect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery sta-
bilizes about 30 minutes after charging
has been completed. Therefore, wait 30
minutes after charging is completed
before measuring the open-circuit volt-
age.

COUPLERS AND LEADS CONNECTION
INSPECTION
1. Check:
Couplers and leads connection
Rust/dust/looseness/short-circuit →
Repair or replace.
THERMO SWITCH INSPECTION
1. Inspect:
Thermo switch operation
Faulty operation → Replace.
Inspection steps:
Remove the thermo switch.
Connect the pocket tester to the thermo
switch coupler as shown.
Tester (+) lead → Black 1
Tester (–) lead → Black 2
Immerse the thermo switch in a container
filled with water 3.
Place a thermometer 4 in the water.
Slowly heat the water, and then let it cool to
the specified temperature as indicated in
the table.
Check the thermo switch for continuity at
the temperatures indicated in the table.
ÅThe thermo switch circuit is open.
ıThe thermo switch circuit is closed.
Test step Water temperature Continuity
1Less than 16 ± 3 ˚C
(60.8 ± 5.4 ˚F)YES
2More than 16 ± 3 ˚C
(60.8 ± 5.4 ˚F)NO
3More than 11 ± 3 ˚C
(51.8 ± 5.4 ˚F)NO
4Less than 11 ± 3 ˚C
(51.8 ± 5.4 ˚F)YES
Test steps 1 & 2: Heating phase
Test steps 3 & 4: Cooling phase

WARNING
Handle the thermo switch with special
care.
Never subject the thermo switch to
strong shocks. If the thermo switch is
dropped, replace it.
Check the thermo switch operation.
