MACHINE PREPARATION
5. BATTERYTYPE (FOR B-BT VERSIONS ONLY)
To power the machine it is necessary to use:
• liquidelectrolyte lead traction batteries
• sealed traction batteries with gasrecombination or gel technology
OTHER TYPES MUST NOT BE USED.
The batteries must be monoblock with a voltage of 12V each and with an electrical capacity of 120 Ah
6. BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL(FOR B-BT VERSIONS ONLY)
For maintenance and recharging, comply with the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Particular attention must be paid when choosing the battery charger, if not supplied, since there are
different kinds according to the type and capacity of the battery.
When the battery reaches the end of its working life, it must be disconnected by expert, trained
personnel, then lifted (using the grips and suitable lifting devices) to remove it from the battery
compartment. DEAD BATTERIES ARE CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS WASTE AND MUST BE
DELIVERED TO THE AUTHORISED BODIES FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL.
ATTENTION: you are advised to always wear protective gloves, to avoid the
risk of serious injury to your hands
ATTENTION: You are advised to only lift and move the batteries with lifting
and transportation means suitable for the specific weight and size
7. RECHARGING THE BATTERIES WITH AN EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER (VERSIONS
WITHOUT BC)
In order not to cause permanent damage to the batteries it is essential to avoid their complete
discharge: arrange the recharge within a few minutes of the switching on of the flashing "discharged
batteries" signal.
NOTE: never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not
being used. While recharging, keep the recovery tank raised, supporting it with the
cable, as shown in the figure. Check the battery charger is suitable for the batteries
installed, in terms of both capacity and type.
To charge the battery proceed as follows:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Check that the machine's master switch is in the "0" position.
3. Lower the base by means of the pedal on the back of the machine
4. Lower the squeegee by means of the lever on the back of the machine.
5. Check the recovery tank is empty, otherwise empty it (see the appropriate chapter).
6. release the hinges (1) on the handlebars
7. Rotate the tank as far as it will go, using the side handle (2)
8. Attach the battery charger connector to the battery connector.
9. Allow the battery to charge until the green LED of the charger lights
