Thanks for the usefull info. Will order an operator's manual. I see you emphazied that water should be added "AFTER" the charge. Does this mean that I should wait until after the 8 hour cool off period to add the water? Would forklift be ready to use after this? I won't be using this forklift fulltime, but rather when needed and this may only be for an hour or so at a time and maybe ever couple of weeks.

Will the "fuel gauge" tell me when a recharge is needed or when will I know I should be recharging it? Sorry, but this is new to me. Thanks, Joe.
