Checks on delivery
When the carrier delivers the machine, make sure the packaging and machine are both whole and undamaged. If
the machine is damaged, make sure the carrier is aware of the damage and before accepting the goods, reserve
the right (in writing) to request compensation for the damage.
Unpacking
IMPORTANT
When unpacking the machine, the operator must be provided with the necessary personal protection
devices (gloves, goggles, etc) to limit the risk of accident.
Unpack the machine as follows:
► cut and remove the plastic straps using scissors or nippers;
► open the packaging;
► remove the bags included in the packaging and check the contents:
► guarantee slip;
► use and maintenance manual;
► battery bridges with terminals (battery model only);
► battery charger connector (battery models only);
► remove the machine (CT15 B35) from its packaging, lifting it at the handle folded forwards in the posi-
tion indicated in the gure (Fig. T), using a strap and a hoist. When lifting, make sure that the machine
remains stable in the horizontal position. Take the machine (CT15 B35R, CT30, CT45 and CT46) o󰀨 the
pallet, using a ramp;
► clean the outside of the machine in respect of safety regulations;
► after unpacking the machine, install the batteries (battery models) or connect the electrical connec-
tions (cable models). See relevant sections.
The packaging may be kept as it can be reused to protect the machine if it is moved to another site or to a repair
workshop.
Otherwise it must be disposed o󰀨 in compliance with current legislation.
Electrical connections and earth (cable models)
The electrical characteristics of the machine are given on the rating plate. Make sure the frequency and voltage
correspond to those of the mains supply where the machine will be operated. As far as voltage is concerned,
models where the rating plate species a voltage of 230 V can be used with voltages of between 220 V and 240
V. Similarly, models rated at 115 V can be used at between 110 V and 120 V. The frequency on the plate must
always correspond to the mains voltage.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the mains circuit is suitably earthed and that the sockets (and any adaptors used) ensure the
continuity of the earth conductors.
DANGER
Failure to observe these instructions could cause possibly serious damage to people and things and
invalidates the guarantee.
Power supply batteries (battery models)
Two di󰀨erent types of battery may be installed on these machines:
► tubular leak-proof batteries: the electrolyte level must be checked regularly. When necessary, top up
with distilled water until the plates are covered. Do not over ll (5 mm max. above the plates).
► gel batteries: this type of battery requires no maintenance.
The technical characteristics must correspond to those indicated in the paragraph on the technical specication of
the machine. The use of heavier batteries could seriously jeopardise manoeuvrability and lead to the brush motor
overheating. Batteries with a lower capacity and weight will require charging more frequently.
They must be kept charged, dry and clean and the connections must be tight.
Batteries: preparation
DANGER
During installation of the batteries or any type of battery maintenance, the operator must be provided
with the necessary personal protection devices (gloves, goggles overalls, etc) to limit the risk of accident.
Keep away from naked ames, avoid short circuiting the battery poles, avoid sparks and do not smoke.
The batteries are normally supplied lled with acid and ready for use.
If the batteries are dry, before mounting them on the machine, proceed as follows:
