Battery installation and
setting the battery type
This machine is equipped with two
batteries at 12V in series
connection, placed in its
appropriate compartment under the
recovery tank. It must be handled
using suitable lifting equipment
(due to weight and coupling
system).
The connection of the battery
cables has to be carried out by
specialized staff, because the
inversion of polarity causes
damage of the electrical
components. Before the machine is
supplied with power, check that
the red cable is connected to the
positive (+) pole of the battery.
For battery installation, proceed as
follows:
1. Take off the squeegee hose (1).
2. Take off the suction cover (2)
after turning the blocking levers
(3).
3. Take off the recovery tank (4).
4. Place the battery in its
compartment.
5. Connect the terminals,
respecting the polarities, avoiding
contact with other parts that could
create short circuit.
6. Reassemble all parts.
ATTENTION:
In case of GEL battery
installation, it is necessary to
set the battery check card.
Please contact an authorized
technical assistant.
ATTENTION:
Strictly follow
manufacturer/distributor
indications for the
maintenance and daily
recharge of the battery.
Specialized staff, using
suitable protection and
accessories, must execute all
installation and maintenance
operations.
Battery charger
Be sure that the battery charger is
suitable for the installed battery
both for their capacities and for
type GEL and equivalent.
ATTENTION:
Qualified staff must carry out
this operation. A wrong or
faulty cable connection can
create serious damage to
persons or things.
Battery recharging
Bring the machine on a leveled
surface.
Plug in battery connector (1)
placed in the rear part of the
machine, to connector (3) of the
battery charger.
ATTENTION:
Never charge a GEL battery
with a non-suitable charger.
Strictly follow the
instructions supplied by the
battery and charger
manufacturer.
In order not to cause
permanent damage to the
battery, it is necessary to
avoid their complete
discharge. Provide
recharging within a few
minutes after battery
discharge signal starts
blinking.
NOTE: Never leave battery
completely discharged even
if the machine is not used. In
case of a traditional battery,
please check the electrolyte
level every 20 recharging
cycles and eventually fill
them up with distilled water.
ATTENTION:
For the daily recharge of the
battery, it is necessary to
follow strictly all the
indications given by the
manufacturer/distributor.
Qualified staff must carry out
all the installation and
maintenance operations.
