5.5 The battery-charger
WARNING
Never let the batteries run down excessively, as they could become damaged
irreparably.
WARNING
Before recharging the batteries, ensure that you have pressed the emergency
button.
5.5.1 Choosing the battery-charger
Check that the battery-charger is compatible with the batteries to be charged:
− tubular lead batteries: an automatic battery-charger 24V - 20A is suggested. Anyway,
refer to the Manufacturer and read the relative manual to confirm your choice;
− gel batteries: use a battery-charger specifically intended for this type of storage
batteries.
5.5.2 Preparing the battery-charger
If you wish to use a battery-charger not supplied with the machine, it is necessary to
mount on it the connector delivered with the machine (see paragraph “Unpacking” of this
manual).
To install the connector proceed as follows:
• remove about 13 mm of sheath from the black and red cables of the battery-charger;
• insert the cables in the connector pins and push strongly with suitable pliers;
• insert the cables in the connector respecting the polarity (red cable +, black cable –).
5.6 Lifting and handling the machine
WARNING
All stages must be performed in an adequately lighted environment adopting all
necessary safety measures.
Always wear individual protections for the user’s safety.
The loading of the machine onto a vehicle must be done as follows:
• empty the recovery tank and the solution tank;
• remove the squeegee and the brushes (or drive discs);
• remove the batteries;
• place the machine on the pallet, engage the parking brake and secure it with plastic
straps or metal brackets;
• lift the pallet by means of a fork lift truck and load it on the vehicle;
• anchor the machine to the vehicle with ropes connected to the pallet and to the
chassis of the machine.
6. PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR THE USER
6.1 Control devices - Description
With reference to fig. 8 the machine has the following controls and leds:
• Battery charge level indicator (ref. 9): signals both “Power on” and the battery
charge level. Note: the following percentages are based on the usable capacity and
not the total capacity of the batteries (therefore 100% flat = 80% of total battery
capacity). Possible situations are:
a) off: the main switch is set to “0” (off) or the batteries are disconnected;
b) green light: batteries charged from 100% to 50%;
c) yellow light: batteries charged from 50% to 15%;
d) red light (also simultaneously with yellow or green light): batteries flat and
