RUNNER 20

4/4 – INSPECTION BEFORE USE

CONDITION OF THE BATTERY CHARGER AND COMMISSIONING

The Runner series of scrubber-driers are battery-powered. The batteries accumulate the electrical

energy which is transferred to the motors as and when it is required.

The battery charger makes it possible to use the machine correctly: with the batteries charged by

100% the last LED to the right of the instrument lights up. It is possible to work until the batteries

have at least 50% charge, i.e. until the fifth LED lights up. After this the battery must be recharged.

Therefore, before starting work, check the condition of the battery charge bearing in mind that the

correct charge status is only indicated with a motor running.

• Do not discharge the batteries beyond 75 % of the rated capacity

• Always make sure that the power supply is suitable for the battery charger power draw.

• Pay special attention to the WARNINGS on pages 12 and 13.

• Check to ensure the correct level of electrolyte, If the electrolyte in one or more elements of the

battery is below the minimum, top up to the minimum level.

• Before starting the battery recharge phase, check to make sure the machine is switched off

correctly, the key has been removed and the battery compartment cover is lifted.

• To start battery charging, connect the plug (see fig. O on page 17 of the Manual) to the battery

charger. The machine cannot be started up or used during the battery recharge phase.

• Do not carry out any operation on the machine while the battery is being charged.

• Check to make sure that all the tubes are fitted in the correct inlet openings, check to make

sure the recovery water tank is closed correctly and sealed.

• Make sure the electrolyte temperature does not exceed 40 °C (take special care in summer

and in rooms where the environmental temperature is high)

• For the first 4 – 5 cycles, recharge the batteries after 3 – 4 hours of operation.

• The new batteries reach their maximum capacity after about 10 work cycles.

• Never leave the batteries flat. They must be recharged after a long shutdown period.

• In low operating temperatures, do not delay recharging the batteries as the electrolyte may

freeze.
