CAUTION:
Before checking the remaining
battery capacities or switching the battery car-
tridges, be sure to stop the machine.

When the battery capacity
becomes low, a short beep sound is emitted. In
this case, lock the brake lever, and then switch
the battery cartridges to charged ones or charge
the battery cartridges. I f y o u c o n t i n u e t o o p e r a t e t h e

sound is emitted while operating on slopes, lock
the brake lever and pay attention to safety and
