Follow this procedure every time you charge your MK-V.
WARNING! Never connect the charger to the MK-V before checking if any water or fluids are present. Carefully clean and dry the charger and charging port before charging.
To charge the tractor:
- Drive the MK-V to the charging area. Do NOT power off the tractor.
- Put the MK-V in Neutral.
- Set the Parking Brake.
- On the Smart Screen, turn off the main engine by tapping Motor. Computerized components that manage the charging process still work, but the engine won’t draw electricity.
- Disembark from the MK-V.
- Before connecting the charger, check the charging handle and the tractor’s charging port for any dirt, dust, liquids or fluid.
- Hold the clip on the charger and then plug the charger in the tractor’s charging port.
- Release the clip on the charger handle.
The ideal charge for the MK-V is 80%.
To remove the charging cable:
- Grasp the charger handle, then push in the clip and HOLD for two seconds while the charger properly disengages from the tractor.
- After you hear a click, and see the blue light turn off, the charger is disengaged. While depressing the clip, remove the charging cable and store it in the holster.
